Three ways Generative AI can evolve security.
Generative AI’s capacity for creation, prediction, and interactivity have the potential to transform security operations. Learn how to leverage these capabilities to minimize risk in your organization.
Compromised user credentials are a common attack vector, and can lead to sustained, costly attacks. As an Identity-as-a-service provider (IDaaS), Auth0 sees a large number of attacks targeting user credentials across our customer base. Some of our customers are under attack nearly 24/7. Known as credential stuffing attacks, these attempts to compromise user accounts with stolen credentials is a difficult problem to solve. More than 80% of companies state it is difficult to detect, fix, or remediate credential stuffing attacks, and these attacks result in an average of more than $6 million a year in costs per company.

The phrase “security culture” is being used a lot more often within organizations, during conversations with other security professionals and even in the media. But there is a problem: the definition is not necessarily clear, and the steps to start working toward creating a positive security culture are even less clear. Organizations only have a vague idea what that really looks like or how to accomplish it. This guide exists to provide a high-level look at what security culture is and what actions you can take to begin favorably changing the security culture within your organization. The goal of this guide is not to give a detailed deep dive into all things security culture (though we’ll provide resources for that in the future); instead it is to help readers understand the fundamentals of what security culture is and what steps you can take to move the culture needle in your organization. It is important to understand that making a meaningful culture shift is not something that happens overnight. Dedication and consistency will lead you to great results. The more established your security culture is, the easier it is to maintain, and new employees tend to align with this culture rather quickly. We are social creatures. Many behaviors are caught rather than taught. When we start a new job, we subconsciously adopt many of the behaviors we see. If people lock their workstations every time they walk away from their computers, new employees often pick up habits like this without giving it much thought at all because it has been socially modeled as just the way things are done here. This is the beauty of a strong and present security culture; once momentum is gained, it becomes easier to maintain. Download Now
Das Aufkommen von Ransomware, der vielleicht lukrativsten Methode der Cyberkriminalität, markiert einen deutlichen Wandel in der Art und Weise, wie Internetkriminelle aus den Daten ihrer Opfer Profit schlagen. Mit Ransomware müssen sich die Angreifer nicht länger auf die Daten konzentrieren, die sie leicht weiterverkaufen können. Sie nutzen stattdessen den Wert aus, den die Daten für ihre Opfer darstellen. Selbst wenn es sich nicht um sonderlich sensible Daten handelt, sie sind möglicherweise für die betrieblichen Abläufe dringend notwendig. Indem sie die Daten „gefangen“ nehmen und für die Freigabe ein Lösegeld fordern, können Angreifer sogar Daten zu Geld machen, für die sie andernfalls wahrscheinlich keine Verwendung gehabt hätten. Aufgrund dieses Paradigmenwechsels geraten viele Unternehmen, die sich bisher für zu klein hielten, um ein lohnendes Ziel für Cyberangriffe zu sein, nun doch in das Visier der Cyberkriminellen Download Now
