Why is NHI Management Vital in Modern Cybersecurity? The rising tide of digitalization in various industries fuels the increasing relevance of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) management in cybersecurity. With organizations race to the cloud, have you considered the potential vulnerability in your system’s NHIs and their secrets? NHIs, defined as machine-generated identities that interact, are as essential to your system’s operation as human identities, hence warranting a similar level of security scrutiny. They exist in various forms; from encryption keys, tokens, service accounts, to bots, and hold the propensity to be misused if not managed correctly. Unearthing the Complexity of NHIs…

Ever tried resizing an image only to end up with a blurry, pixelated mess? Whether you’re adjusting a photo for a website, social media, or an email campaign, keeping your images sharp and professional is essential. But if you’ve worked with JPEG files, you’ve probably noticed how resizing can significantly impact quality. That’s where Pippit AI comes in, a powerful AI-driven tool that helps resize images while preserving their clarity. JPEG remains one of the most commonly used image formats due to its balance of quality and file size. However, it’s also a lossy format, meaning that every time you…

Glitch has announced that it is ending app hosting and user profiles on July 8, in response to changing market dynamics and extensive abuse problems that have increased operational costs. The news comes directly from the platform’s CEO, Anil Dash, who acknowledged the platform’s role in the developer ecosystem. “So with so many good options for easily making and running apps, Glitch’s legacy architecture hasn’t been providing something uniquely valuable to the developer ecosystem at this point,” reads the announcement from Dash. The CEO notes that the focus will be “on serving our developer community where we can be most valuable.”…

Matthew Toussain// Portswigger’s Burpsuite has become the tool of choice for web application penetration testers. OWASP’s Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) not only fights in the same weight class but also serves as the formative web security testing system for many of those new to the field. For organizations seeking to replicate the results of a test, ZAP is as compelling as it is both capable and free. For pathfinders, blazing a trail and guiding wayfarers are opposite sides of the same coin. As guides pledged to the information security journeys of those with whom we partner, we may need to coach…

Here’s a look at the most interesting products from the past week, featuring releases from Anchore, Cyble, Outpost24, and ThreatMark. Outpost24 simplifies threat analysis with AI-enhanced summaries Outpost24 announced the addition of AI-enhanced summaries to the Digital Risk Protection (DRP) modules within its External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform. With Outpost24’s DRP modules, organizations are able to identify, monitor, and protect against threats before they can be exploited. Cyble Titan strengthens endpoint security Cyble announced Cyble Titan, its next-generation Endpoint Security. Designed to meet the evolving threat landscape, Cyble Titan integrates into the Cyble’s AI-Native Security Cloud, bringing together asset…

When developing Time Intelligence Measures with Power BI or in Fabric in Semantic Models, it can be necessary to create a date range to calculate the result for a specific time frame. To be precise, almost all of the Time Intelligence functions in Dax create a list of dates for a date range. But sometimes we must create a custom date range due to specific requirements. DAX offers us two functions for this task: Both functions take a Start Date as a parameter.But for the End Date, the behavior is different. While DATESINPERIOD() takes Intervals (Days, Months, Quarters, Years), DATESBETWEEN()…

Jordan Drysdale// Blurb: A few of us have discussed the stress that small and medium business proprietors and operators feel these days. We want to help stress you out even more. Not really, but if you aren’t worrying about IT security, you are probably doing it wrong. This series will run through some of the important controls that IT pros have mapped out for us. We are trying to present these in a way that you can accomplish them without dedicated IT staff. We’re all facing a fairly challenging landscape; hackers seemingly making shambles of enterprise network defenses, nation-state actors…

Optimization of CPU and Memory Parameters for Blockchain Validation Servers Blockchain is a decentralized data storage system where each transaction is recorded in a chain of blocks, ensuring transparency and immutability of information. This allows the creation of trusted systems without central control, which has become the foundation for cryptocurrencies, decentralized applications (dApps), NFTs, and other innovations. Validation servers for blockchain networks, particularly those supporting high-performance networks like Solana, require careful consideration of hardware specifications to ensure optimal performance. Among the most critical components are the central processor (CPU) and random-access memory (RAM), which directly impact transaction processing speed, registry…
