ColorTokens purchased PureID, expanding its zero trust framework with identity-based segmentation for cloud and hybrid environments. The acquisition focuses on securing cloud applications, microservices and APIs through advanced identity-based authentication.
As cloud adoption accelerates, the unchecked growth of nonhuman identities is exposing companies to increased risks. Adam Cheriki, CTO and co-founder of Entro Security, explains why securing these identities is crucial and how the company's platform delivers a comprehensive solution.
An Arizona-based technical school is notifying nearly 209,000 current and former students, parents and faculty that their personal, health and financial information was potentially compromised in a LockBit attack earlier this year. The ransomware hack is one of many hits in the education sector.
Singapore-based telecom giant Singtel launched the country's first quantum-safe network across its identity and authentication platforms to help enterprises protect data from potential future quantum computing-related threats. The network integrates with Cisco, Fortinet and Nokia solutions.
Since he joined Jindal Steel & Power as CISO about 18 months ago, Aditya Vardhan has set specific cybersecurity goals. Vardhan established a data classification model, set up a security operations center and unified different identity repositories.
The theft of terabytes of Snowflake customers' data through credential stuffing hacks highlights how multifactor authentication shouldn't be optional for safeguarding accounts. Experts are calling on providers to build in more robust identity and authentication security features, at no extra cost.
Security researchers identified an attack method against a commonly used network authentication protocol that dates back to the dial-up internet and relies on an obsolete hashing function. Researchers say "a well-resourced attacker" could make it practical.
In the wake of multiple customers of Snowflake collectively losing terabytes of data to attackers, the cloud-based data warehousing platform has rolled out a swath of cybersecurity improvements, including allowing administrators to make multifactor authentication mandatory for all users.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore said banks will phase out one-time passwords for bank account logins over the next three months for customers who use digital tokens to authenticate their identity. The move follows a rise in phishing scams that impersonate banks in messages to steal credentials.
Brent Deterding, CISO at Afni, explained why simple security measures, such as YubiKeys and domain joins, can effectively neutralize sophisticated AI-driven attacks. He also discussed leadership in cybersecurity and the role CISOs play in determining materiality for SEC reporting.
Cisco remained atop Forrester's OT security rankings, Palo Alto Networks climbed into the leader space, and Claroty and Tenable fell to strong performer. The transition from a network-centric to an asset- and data-centric security model has introduced challenges, especially with legacy equipment.
Identity startup Semperis has secured $125 million in growth financing to expand its engineering team and develop new product extensions to meet market demands. Strategic partnerships with J.P. Morgan and Hercules Capital also pave the way for potential future acquisitions.
With $150 million of Series D funding led by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital and Sapphire Ventures, Huntress is set to build or buy posture and recovery capabilities for endpoint and identity protection and enhance educational initiatives to counter the accelerating pace of cyberthreats.
Multifactor authentication is a must-have security defense for repelling outright credential stuffing and password spraying attacks. But no defense is foolproof. Attackers have been refining their tactics for bypassing MFA, including using technology and trickery.
A promise of better security through biometrics fell short after security researchers dismantled an access system made by a Chinese manufacturer and discovered that it contained 24 vulnerabilities. ZKTeco specializes in hybrid biometric verification technology.
