A browser extension with permission to read and change all your data on every website has roughly the same access to your activity as the browser itself. For individual users, that might be an acceptable tradeoff for a useful tool.
How to audit and manage browser extensions before they become a security problem
What an IT security audit covers and why your business needs one
Most organizations know their cybersecurity needs attention; fewer know where it falls short. An IT security audit closes that gap. By systematically evaluating networks, devices, applications, and security controls, an audit produces a clear picture of where vulnerabilities exist, how well current defenses are performing, and what needs to change.
How to make threat intelligence platforms work for your business
Many organizations invest in threat intelligence platforms designed to collect and analyze threat data. But broad data, shallow integration, and disconnected workflows often prevent that intelligence from ever translating into action.
Fileless malware: The threat your antivirus can’t always see
Most cybersecurity tools are built around a simple assumption: malicious software leaves files behind. Fileless malware is designed specifically to defeat that assumption. Rather than dropping a suspicious executable onto a hard drive, it operates entirely in memory, using your system’s own trusted tools against you, and leaving little to nothing for a traditional antivirus […]
Why identity is the new internal highway for cyberattacks
Organizations spend tens to hundreds of thousands fortifying their perimeters, but the biggest threats often originate from within. This article explores how saved passwords and autonomous AI agents can create hidden pathways for cybercriminals, bypassing traditional defenses and highlighting the need for a unified approach to mapping user access.
Choosing the right VPN for your business
Online privacy threats are increasing, making virtual private networks (VPN) more important than ever for businesses and individual users alike. But the sheer number of VPN providers can make choosing the right one overwhelming. Before investing in a VPN service, make sure to follow these steps.
Modern password tips based on NIST guidelines
Passwords are an inherently flawed security measure in an era of constant phishing attacks and massive data leaks. This guide breaks down the latest recommendations from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and shows how to improve security with longer passwords, smarter tools, and modern authentication methods.
Not all hackers are criminals: A look at the three major hacker types
While the term “hacker” often dominates cybersecurity conversations, it’s crucial to recognize that not all hackers share the same motivations. Some exploit vulnerabilities, others help organizations fix them, and some fall somewhere in between.
The hidden weaknesses of multifactor authentication
Multifactor authentication (MFA) works by requiring users to provide more than one form of identification when logging into a system or account. This extra layer of security is meant to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information. However, while MFA may seem like a foolproof solution, it actually has its own set of vulnerabilities that […]
