Organizations relying on outdated security methodologies are facing severe repercussions, as highlighted by Cloudflare. The increasing sophistication of cyber threats is leaving these entities vulnerable to attacks, emphasizing the critical need for robust security measures. In a landscape where cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and advanced, companies must prioritize updating their security protocols to safeguard their sensitive data and maintain business continuity. The consequences of neglecting security updates can be detrimental, leading to data breaches, financial losses, and damage to the organization's reputation. It's imperative for businesses to stay ahead of the curve in cybersecurity to mitigate these risks. #CybersecurityThreats #DataProtection >

🔒 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒌𝒆𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚? Yes. And here's why. Recently a one-click vulnerability that had the potential to grant full control over user accounts on an AWS service was discovered. Like many other vulnerabilities, has a bigger and riskful impact on systems. This #FlowFixation vulnerability has been patched and systems are now classified as "secure" and "non-exploitable". Does it work for every architecture? Of course. ✅ the risk of patching, upon vulnerability disclosure, is close to zero. Meaning that a hour spent updating firmwares is a good and safe time spent. Each department should be always on top and spend some time trying catch up with sector news and official announcements. ❌ the risk of no-patching, upon vulnerability disclosure, is broadly close to maximum risk ever estimated. This means a threat actor could break in, harvest and/or exfiltrate data, lock every system, possibly demand for a ransom, cause a multimillion dollar loss, a supreme reputation downfall and a negative performace impact in the ecosystem. Always stay up to date, always take care of your systems. And if you're in need of some good practices on how to do that, we're happy to help. #beCyberBeSafe #BCyber #insec #cybersec #awareness #training

New from Security Management Magazine “Vulnerabilities Aren’t New, but the Speed of Incidents Is.” In the wake of recent high-profile cyberattacks, organizations need faster ways to detect and respond to potential security incidents. https://brnw.ch/21wFDoa #security #securityprofession Strider Technologies

The unprecedented scale of today’s CrowdStrike outage highlights the critical importance of rigorous testing in development and test environments before pushing changes to production. This incident has significantly impacted businesses globally, including major banks and airlines. Such disruptions can erode trust in organisations, underscoring a vital lesson for all sectors: TEST, TEST, TEST BEFORE DEPLOYMENT! As businesses continue to move to the cloud, the risks associated with inadequate testing become even more pronounced. Comprehensive pre-deployment testing can help mitigate these risks and safeguard your organisation's reputation and operations. In today's fast-paced threat landscape, thorough and continuous testing is not just a best practice - it's a necessity. Avoid the pitfalls of inadequate testing and protect the trust your clients place in you. #CyberSecurity #CrowdStrike #Testing #DevOps #ITSecurity

Common API security issues: From exposed secrets to unauthorized access Despite their role in connecting applications and driving innovation, APIs often suffer from serious security vulnerabilities. Recent investigations reveal that many organizations are struggling with exposed secrets such as passwords and API keys, which attackers frequently misuse. The persistence of these vulnerabilities, coupled with outdated security measures, underscores a growing concern. https://lnkd.in/dqwcdQtq #apisecurity #mauverick
