The endpoint recovery gap many teams discover during an incident

In this interview with Help Net Security, IGEL CTO Matthias Haas explains why backups alone do not equal recovery. He makes the case that endpoint recovery is often overlooked, leaving organizations exposed when thousands of devices go down at once. Haas walks through what a well-planned recovery looks like, where the bottlenecks appear, and why restoring trusted user access matters more than counting blocked threats. He also shares how security leaders can convince a CFO … More → The post The endpoint recovery gap many teams discover during an incident appeared first on Help Net Security.

Review: CTRL+ALT+PWN

Hacking gear that once sat in well-funded labs now ships to anyone with a credit card and a video tutorial.

He spent twenty-five years in healthcare compliance and privacy, leading the response to breaches and ransomware, and he writes for readers he calls non-geeks. The book reads like a tour of the criminal toolkit, narrated by … More → The post Review: CTRL+ALT+PWN appeared first on Help Net Security.

Catching ransomware on the wire before it locks the file server

Corporate networks keep sensitive files off individual workstations and store them on shared servers that staff reach through mapped network drives. That arrangement hands ransomware operators a target worth chasing. A single compromised laptop can begin encrypting files that live on a server across the building, and the encryption travels over the network as ordinary file-sharing traffic. Endpoint detection tools watch the machine they run on. When the encryption lands on a remote file server, … More → The post Catching ransomware on the wire before it locks the file server appeared first on Help Net Security.

What the AI patch gap means for enterprise security

Open-source maintainers are receiving more vulnerability reports than they can act on, and a rising share now comes from an AI system working at machine speed. Over roughly two months this spring, Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview combed through more than 23,000 open-source code paths and routed verified findings to the projects that own them. Tuskira studied what happens to those findings once they reach human hands. The program reported 1,596 verified vulnerabilities, spread across hundreds … More → The post What the AI patch gap means for enterprise security appeared first on Help Net Security.

GitHub’s new tool helps prevent costly open-source license violations

GitHub’s Open Source Program Office (OSPO) uses the new GitHub License Compliance feature, now in public preview, to manage thousands of open-source dependencies and identify dependencies whose licenses require review. The feature is available to GitHub Advanced Security customers and allows them to review new dependencies in pull requests, verify that their licenses comply with organizational policies, and approve new licenses or package-specific exceptions when needed. GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers can use the License Compliance … More → The post GitHub’s new tool helps prevent costly open-source license violations appeared first on Help Net Security.
