In a world where every click and connection creates both opportunity and exposure, digital progress and digital risk now go hand in hand. As technology propels organizational innovation, it simultaneously widens the surface for cyberthreats. From AI-generated attacks to sophisticated ransomware, what was once an IT problem is now everyone's responsibility. This article explores how organizations can move past defense to build resilient-by-design cybersecurity: the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover, and adapt in the face of evolving digital threats.
The Log4j vulnerability in 2021 served as a wake-up call for how vulnerable today's supply chains are. Four years later, this remains apparent amid the recent incident at F5 which has impacted a number of businesses globally. These types of attacks continue to expose the increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that exist as a result of a growingly complex landscape. Third-party ecosystems are now one of the most profitable attack avenues as when one supplier is compromised, the effects can quickly ripple through entire industries. All partners are then exposed to fallbacks like revenue loss, reputational damage and operational disruption.
A cyber attacker installed the Huntress endpoint security solution to protect himself. What he didn't realize was that this allowed Huntress to monitor his activities. Despite some controversy, the security company claims that valuable information was obtained. When a host signaled malware to Huntress, it turned out to be an old acquaintance: the same "machine name," or unique device identifier, had appeared in several previous incidents.
Satellite networks are integral to myriad aspects of modern society, providing essential services that support both civilian and military operations. As our dependency on satellite networks has increased, so has the risk of cyber threats targeting these critical infrastructures. Any disruption of satellite services can negatively impact everything from emergency response systems to financial transactions to navigation. That makes ensuring the cybersecurity of satellite networks essential to maintaining global stability and security.
