"Known denial-of-service (DoS) techniques can be chained together in a new exploit that can knock major web servers offline, Calif security researchers warn."

‘HTTP/2 Bomb’ Exploit Knocks Web Servers Offline in Seconds The default HTTP/2 configuration of major web servers is vulnerable to an attack chain combining a compression bomb and a Slowloris-style hold.

Open Letter to Security Leaders: Let’s Discuss Our Strategy

We built an industry around detecting breaches faster. Meanwhile, attackers built an industry around making them more damaging.

In the AI era, the question isn’t how quickly you detect compromise. It’s whether stolen data is still usable once attackers get it. Detection matters, but if exposed data still has value, the breach is still a success.

Encryption is no longer a compliance checkbox. It’s infrastructure.

"Municipal leaders, utility personnel, and even one retired city auditor attending a panel discussion were eager to learn about cyber threats that are targeting local governments and, more importantly, how to address them."

Processes and Culture Top Reasons Behind Data Breaches In spite of state laws meant to improve cyber hygiene, an analysis of incidents shows issues persist and visibility falls short.

Ever wonder what happened to Visual FoxPro? Turns out, it’s still alive and kicking for thousands of businesses and government agencies, even though Microsoft stopped supporting it ages ago!

These applications, written with VFP, were developed at a time when the cybersecurity threat was not as great as it is in today’s modern world.
Data in these legacy applications is vulnerable to theft and abuse, and yet upgrading or rewriting these applications is costly.

But you can work to meet modern security and compliance standards with data-at-rest encryption, without requiring a complete application overhaul.
