The attack was caused by a Spearphishing technique that targeted workers of a natural gas compression facility. The ransomware encrypted the plant’s IT and OT networks causing a partial loss of view for human operators. While the attack only infected Windows devices, the impact of human-machine interfaces had a significant impact. In light...

The increasing pace of development is shifting the responsibility for application security left, all the way onto the developer’s desktop. But dealing with security issues detected in downstream builds and tests can be very disruptive. By the time defects are reported, developers have moved on to their next tasks. To remediate a problem, they have to interrupt what they are doing and go back, reopen the code, make a fix, and retest. To make matters...

For example, we have seen a rapid upsurge in the use of smart devices and with that, an increased risk of cyberattacks. This has not been limited to private households either. Rather, the logistics industry and private vehicles are also at risk of being hacked. Indeed, as individuals and industries increasingly move online, this...

In fact, some hackers find that targeting the chief executive officer (CEO), chief operating officer (COO), or chief financial officer...

Data privacy is at the center of core issues that governments are trying to solve this year. Privacy advocates have been requesting more stringent privacy laws and governments have responded. The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has served as an effective blueprint for new privacy laws.

You can redeploy your compromised app components. You can roll back to the previous build. On the other hand, fast changes mean fast decisions. Some security vulnerabilities can pass through automatic testing. Some DevOps tools may be compromised also. We experienced a security issue when...
