Facing an onslaught of cyber-attacks originating from social engineering is now par for the course for many security professionals. However, a growing but often overlooked issue is how this technique is being manipulated to help gain entry to physical offices and workplaces to perpetrate cybercrime.
Very similar to social engineering in the digital world, cybercriminals are relying on human vulnerabilities to trick individuals into allowing them entry to premises. Referred to as physical social engineering (PSE), this form of deception exploits typical behaviors and emotions with the goal of obtaining security credentials to give attackers access to confidential data and sensitive information held on computer systems.

The top 5 tips for identifying and deterring suspicious API traffic
With the increasing reliance on APIs, detecting suspicious API traffic has become crucial to ensure the security and integrity of these interactions. Suspicious API traffic poses a huge threat to the overall system and its data, the traffic can indicate malicious intent such as unauthorized access attempts, data breaches, or even potential attacks targeting vulnerabilities in the API infrastructure.
API traffic refers to the data and requests that are transmitted between different applications or systems using APIs. This allows software programs to communicate and exchange information, enabling seamless integration and interaction between various platforms. API traffic also involves the transfer of data, such as requests for data retrieval or updates, between the client application and the server hosting the API.

How MSPs can help you harness the power of generative AI
Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are a scorching hot topic right now, and for good reason. A recent MIT study shows that LLMs can improve worker productivity by 50 percent in white-collar settings.
