We recently posted an article highlighting various Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) methods to profile cybercriminals on the darkweb, and you could consider this a follow-up and in-depth dive into the Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technologies we […]
What is Data Leakage? How Do You Prevent It?
During 2020, on average every person created at least 1.7 MBs of data per second and around 44 zettabytes of data in terms of the complete digital world. Today, the amount of data we create, distribute, analyze and sell has been increasing at an incredibly fast rate. Due to this increase of potentially sensitive data, […]
What Is an Attack Surface and How do you Reduce it?
What Is An Attack Surface? An attack surface is the total number of all possible attack vectors (or points) where an attacker or unauthorized user can access a system and enter or extract data. Attack surfaces can be split into two different categories. 1. Physical Attack Surface A physical attack surface area for an organization […]
