External attack surface management [Q&A]
The external attack surface -- those assets which face the internet -- is attracting a lot of attention at the moment, with Gartner naming it as a top security risk.
To find out more about external attack surface management (EASM) and why organizations need to take it seriously, we spoke to Rickard Carlsson, CEO of Detectify.
Cybersecurity for SMEs: Seven steps to a Zero Trust approach
Never trust, verify everything! This is the premise on which the "Zero Trust" approach was founded. This model of cybersecurity involves implementing controls designed to ensure that only verified users can access company resources, and from similarly approved devices.
This strategy is increasingly being adopted in response to the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as the continued evolution of hybrid working, the use of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the increase and sophistication in cyber-attacks. Whereas previously SMEs thought they weren’t a target, now they are seen as the weaker link from a hackers’ perspective and increasingly they are falling victims to cyber attacks.
Three methods to improve organizational data quality today
Our modern business landscape transforms constantly, yet the value of data endures. However, thriving companies don’t merely amass data -- they cultivate meaningful data.
Leaders must have trustworthy data to unlock organizational insights, but inaccurate data is still rampant in most organizations. This data costs leaders far more than missed opportunities. According to industry research, bad data costs U.S. enterprises $3.1 trillion annually. Still need convincing about the benefits of data quality? Let’s discuss the benefits of high-quality data and explain how leaders can adopt a leading data management strategy today.
How to protect your organization against SEO poisoning and malvertising
Alongside traditional approaches like software vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in applications, hackers are constantly looking for new ways to get into devices and corporate networks. Two of the biggest growing threats are Search Engine Optimization (SEO) poisoning and Malvertising.
SEO Poisoning is where hackers lure victims to legitimate websites by populating them with content on topics of interest to potential victims. For example, Gootloader, an Initial-Access-as-a-Service operation, targets law professionals because they handle sensitive business data that can be extremely valuable. Hackers use Gootloader to get a foothold into an organization’s IT environment and then spread laterally through the entity’s IT network to implant ransomware or exfiltrate data.
The dark estate: Reclaiming productivity and millions
The modern workforce is more distributed and dependent on devices than ever before. In this hybrid work environment, digital employee experiences are siloed. IT teams are on the hook to ensure end-user productivity despite strained financial resources and the IT talent war.
Despite their technical expertise, IT service teams are limited in their ability to be in multiple locations at once. Distributed workforces further cause significant blind spots and open up businesses to vulnerabilities hiding in the dark estate. That’s where hidden issues live, yet IT teams can’t see them. The potential for unknown risks is nothing new in IT. So why should businesses care about the dark estate, especially now when IT departments are already burdened by lengthy lists of service requests, putting out fires, and keeping up with security challenges?
Panos Panay's shift to Amazon could signal the death of Microsoft Surface
In a startling development, Panos Panay, the mind behind Microsoft’s Windows and Devices division, has officially jumped ship to Amazon. Yes, folks, the rumors were true. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced today that Panay will, in fact, be helming the Devices and Services business, replacing Dave Limp later this year.
While on the surface this seems like a significant win for Amazon, it might be worth pondering the implications of Panay’s exit from Microsoft. With nearly two decades at Microsoft, Panay’s sudden move raises eyebrows and stirs concerns regarding the internal dynamics at Microsoft.
The rise in mobile device security threats and the growing attack surface [Q&A]
Both government agencies and corporations are being tasked with developing strategies for protecting mobile devices from an increasing wave of attacks. CISOs and business leaders are asking themselves not only how they can use mobile devices to make employees more productive, but also how to realize the full potential of a mobile-powered business.
As leaders execute their mobile-powered businesses, they will also need to parallel these initiatives with mobile-first security strategies to address the fast-growing attack surfaces that bad actors are increasingly jumping on. We spoke to Shridhar Mittal, CEO of Zimperium to discover more.

Is banning the right solution to dealing with problem apps? [Q&A]
Lots of apps are potentially transmitting and saving user data without express permission and this has led some administrations to consider bans.
In May, Montana passed the first bill to ban TikTok statewide due to data concerns, and India has banned 60 apps, including TikTok, claiming they were transmitting user data back to China.
With the launch of Bard Extensions, Google brings AI to many more of its products and services
The relentless march of AI shows no signs of slowing, and Google is eager to steal a piece of the actions from OpenAI's ChatGPT with its own Bard. It is with this aim in mind that Google has launched a huge update to its generative artificial intelligence tool in the form of Extensions.
With Bard Extensions, Google is achieving two things. Firstly, it expands the capabilities of Bard by letting it tap into the power and data of its other services including YouTube and Maps. Secondly, it makes the likes of Gmail and Drive more useful by harnessing the power of AI.

A holistic approach to closing the container security gap [Q&A]
Among cloud developers, Kubernetes is now a widely used platform. It's not immune to security incidents, however, and these can lead to loss of revenue or customers.
So, what's the best way to secure Kubernetes systems? Alex Jones, engineering director Kubernetes at Canonical, suggests a need to look beyond containers with a holistic approach to security that spans all layers of the system. We talked to him to discover more.
What a steal! How retailers can protect customer data from cybercriminals
Recent Salesforce research shows 52 percent of consumers expect their offers to be personalized. To create these tailored offerings and drive a seamless customer experience, retailers gather vast amounts of personally identifiable information (PII) -- from addresses to purchasing history and payment information. This makes them an irresistible -- and relatively low risk -- target for cybercriminals. As a result, data breaches within retail are increasingly common, even for major retailers -- as we saw earlier this year with the JD Sports Data Breach, which exposed the PII of around 10 million people.
To help protect consumers, governing bodies are putting increased pressure on companies to comply with data protection rules -- including the UK’s upcoming Data Protection and Digital Information Bill. Consumer trust is key when it comes to retail too. So, companies unable to protect their customer data not only risk enormous fines, but significant damage to their brand reputation. So, following recent high-profile retail breaches, how can brands protect their customers’ personal data?
