What started as a bunch of...

Security alerts never stop; they flood in, one after another. AI runs quietly in the background, sorting through a plethora of data, making snap decisions, and raising red flags when it finds anomalies. Unfortunately, somewhere else, bad actors are running similar algorithms, monitoring, probing, and learning. Efficiency (speed and scale) isn’t the danger, nor is the way security teams use these...

Mexico also ranks among the hardest-hit countries in Latin America when it comes to cyber threats. By 2024, the country accounted for more than...

“Stay Safe Online” is the call of this year’s National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). For most of us in the security industry, that’s a no-brainer. But do our online security obligations extend only to ourselves? Here’s how a broader view might make us think differently about “entry-level security awareness” this year, and how improving even the most basic cyber skillsets could be a genius...

We have all dealt with outdated technology. An old phone that no longer gets updates. A laptop that takes minutes to boot. The stubborn printer that jams every second page. You have probably seen a payment kiosk crash, revealing an ancient Windows XP desktop beneath. Glitches are particularly annoying when they happen to an ATM. But hospitals have similar problems. And here, it is no laughing...

Think about the apps on your phone right now. Your banking app, your working email, the food delivery app: each one is talking to a server somewhere - sending and receiving data through messages sent through APIs, the underlying infrastructure that allows apps to communicate.And here's the problem - hackers have determined that the APIs of mobile apps, when left visible and exploitable, can be a...
