In today’s hyper-connected world, security breaches often bring to mind advanced hacking tools, malicious code, or network intrusions. But some of the most devastating breaches don’t require any of that. They rely instead on human psychology. Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into giving up confidential information or performing actions that compromise security. No malware, brute force, or advanced hardware is needed—just knowledge of how people think and behave. As organizations invest heavily in firewalls, encryption, and endpoint security, attackers are shifting their attention to the weakest link:…

The modern enterprise landscape has undergone a radical transformation in recent years. With hybrid and remote work environments becoming the norm, organizations have increasingly turned to cloud-based tools and browser-centric workflows to maintain productivity. While this shift has brought undeniable flexibility and efficiency, it has also opened the door to a new and insidious class of cyber threats—Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats, or HEAT. HEAT attacks are not like traditional malware or phishing attempts. They are stealthier, more sophisticated, and capable of bypassing many of the conventional security mechanisms businesses have…

In the digital age, organizations are more interconnected than ever before. Data flows constantly between systems, devices, users, and third-party partners. With this increased connectivity comes heightened vulnerability. Cybersecurity has evolved from being a technical safeguard to a central pillar of business strategy. At the forefront of this transformation is the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), a leader responsible not only for safeguarding digital infrastructure but also for aligning security with business goals. Traditionally, cybersecurity was relegated to the IT department, often viewed as a cost center rather than a…

The cybersecurity landscape witnessed dramatic shifts in 2023, with artificial intelligence (AI) emerging as both a formidable defense mechanism and a powerful offensive weapon. This dual-use nature of AI has disrupted traditional cybersecurity strategies and sparked urgent discussions across the globe. While defenders adopted AI to automate detection, analysis, and response, cybercriminals simultaneously used these same tools to launch more sophisticated attacks, blur lines between legitimate and malicious behaviors, and scale operations faster than ever before. Generative AI Becomes a Double-Edged Sword The year began with intense scrutiny over generative…

The global transformation toward cloud computing has redefined how modern organizations operate. With benefits such as flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency, cloud environments offer an irresistible value proposition for companies of all sizes. Yet, this convenience comes with a growing set of cybersecurity challenges that are keeping security leaders up at night. According to a global survey conducted with top information security executives, cloud security has now emerged as the number one area of concern. Nearly half of all respondents in a recent report by a leading cybersecurity certification body…
