A recent report states that Indian healthcare institutions face a total of 8,614 cyberattacks every week. That is more than four times the global average and over double the amount faced by any other industry in India.If the feeling was in the air before, the numbers leave no doubt; India’s healthcare sector is an irresistible target for today’s attackers.Indian Healthcare Leads the Pack in Rising...

Shadow IT is one of the most pressing issues in cybersecurity today. As more employees use unsanctioned browser extensions, productivity plugins, and generative AI tools, organizations are exposed to more risk.When these tools enter the environment without IT’s knowledge, they can create data exposure points, introduce new vulnerabilities, and make it easier for attackers to find privileged access...

Once the frontier of innovation, the cloud has become the battleground of operational discipline. As cloud complexity rises, the most common and costly security threats aren't advanced nation-state attacks. They're internal errors.According to the CSA's Top Threats to Cloud Computing Deep Dive 2025, more than half of reported cloud breaches stemmed from preventable issues like misconfigurations,...

We all know where vulnerability management fits into an overall security strategy; it provides the raw data that analysts use to figure out what’s wrong and what needs to be fixed. The problem is, traditional VM stops there – leaving analysts to do all the work.Today’s companies don’t have the luxury of doing that anymore. Experts are needed on the front lines, not vetting false positives, and VM...

Last year, Mexico was hit with 324 billion attempted cyberattacks, lending credence to the World Economic Forum's report that the country is the recipient of more than half of all cyber threats in Latin America.This does not bode well for the nation projected to rank 15th in world economies this year. The imperative is clear: Mexico and the businesses it supports need to bolster cybersecurity...

IoT is everywhere, quietly powering everything from smart thermostats in homes to complex systems in industrial networks. While these devices bring incredible convenience and innovation, they also open the door to significant cybersecurity risks, especially in manufacturing and similarly sensitive sectors.The longer devices stay online, the more likely they are to become vulnerable due to outdated...

On May 16th, 2025, the Japanese Parliament enacted a landmark piece of cybersecurity legislation: the Japan Active Cyberdefense Law. It was a historic moment for the country's digital defense, empowering law enforcement and military agencies to conduct pre-emptive cyber operations before they materialize.However, the law doesn't just affect Japan's internal security posture; it reflects a global...

Software-as-a-Service adoption is exploding, but security teams are struggling to keep up. The Cloud Security Alliance’s 2025 SaaS Security Survey has revealed that while investment in and attention to SaaS security are on the rise, genuine control remains elusive, especially when it comes to configuration management, identity governance, and visibility.According to the report, most SaaS security...

Autonomous agents are changing the way we think about security. Not in the distant future, right now. These systems (intelligent, self-directed, and capable of making decisions) are starting to play an active role in the SOC. They’re not only collecting data; they’re analyzing it, correlating alerts, prioritizing risks, and even initiating response actions. This is Agentic AI, and it makes people...

Picture this: you're scrolling through your company's social media feed, and suddenly a video shows your CEO endorsing a competitor's product. It looks real. The voice, the gestures, the background—it's all perfect. Or that same CEO calling you to urgently approve a strange payment.But you know, deep down, it never happened.Welcome to the world of deepfakes, where fabricated videos can throw even...

As the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)'s enforcement date approaches (October 2026), cybersecurity requirements on manufacturers, developers, and service providers responsible for software and hardware connected to the internet will need to start thinking - if they haven't already -about what they need to do to comply. It may seem like a long time off, but the earlier you start, the better...

The cranes that move goods in and out of America's busiest ports (some of the most essential components of our national logistics chain) are under growing scrutiny.In a newly issued MARSEC Directive 105-5, the U.S. Coast Guard has raised red flags about the cybersecurity risks that come with ship-to-shore (STS) cranes manufactured in China. These cranes, mostly produced by state-owned enterprises...

COBOL remains deeply embedded in the infrastructure of global enterprises, powering critical systems in banking, insurance, government, and beyond. While its stability and processing efficiency are unmatched, legacy environments running COBOL face a growing challenge: Security.As cyber threats evolve and legacy systems continue to age, COBOL-based mainframes present attractive targets due to their...

When was the last time you updated your router? If you’re not sure, you’re not alone, and this uncertainty could pose a serious risk to your business.The FBI recently warned that malicious actors are targeting end-of-life (EOL) routers (network devices that manufacturers no longer support or update). These outdated routers are being hijacked by bad actors who use them as a stepping stone into...

Cyberattacks on public infrastructure are no longer hypothetical. From ransomware disabling city services to foreign actors probing utility networks, the risks are real and rising. Among the most vulnerable targets are our public water systems. Often underfunded, technologically fragmented, and encumbered by legacy systems, water utilities are easy pickings for determined attackers.In recent years...

Ever wondered what really drives today's cyberattacks? It's not always just about stealing data or demanding a ransom. Motives can vary widely depending on the attacker, their intent, and their capabilities.In the most simple terms, a cyberattack is a malicious intent to access, steal, expose, or destroy data and systems without authorized access. Every attack typically involves a motive or goal,...

Picture this: You’re at the supermarket, looking for your favorite brand of cereal. But the shelves are empty, staff are frazzled, and the checkout terminals are flickering ominously. That’s not just a supply chain hiccup, it’s a direct result of the latest wave of cyberattacks targeting the UK’s biggest grocery chains.In 2025, major retailers like Co-op, Marks & Spencer, and Harrods found...

Imagine for one moment that you are a cybercriminal.You have compromised an organisation's network, you have stolen their data, you have encrypted their network, and you are now knee-deep in the ransomware negotiation.However, there's a problem. Your target is stalling for time. Who can you, as the perpetrator of the crime rather than the innocent victim, turn to for advice?Well, if you are an...

As a cybersecurity expert, you are aware that performing static scans is only one part of a good defense-in-depth strategy. Similarly, periodic vulnerability assessments, while valuable, are only a single piece of cyber defense fortification. Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) establishes a logical setting to control organizational threats proactively. CTEM enables an augmented...
