Diatribe For A Fandom

I can not wait until Jared, Jensen and Misha get so fed up - with the hate, the threats on their lives, the lies and harassment - that they put an end to the cons. And it WILL happen. (A person can only take so much.) Once it happens, all the miscreants who have thrown around all this ugliness will have no one else to blame but themselves.

In an age where cyberbullying is at an all time high, a small, but very loud part of this fandom shamelessly partake in it. I don't care if the targets are adults, it's still bullying. It's harassment. It's threatening. And all of you who partake should face some kind of consequences. What kind of person are you to think that threatening another person's life is a normal thing to do? Especially if it's for the dumbest, most selfish, insane, ridiculous reasons (that person doesn't fit your narrative, the character they play isn't your favorite, they're friends with someone you don't like). YOU DO NOT OWN THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE NOT YOURS TO DEMAND THINGS FROM. THEY ARE NOT CIRCUS PERFORMERS!!

If you are one of these POS who think its okay to do this, I am disgusted by your actions. And I'm sure I'm not alone. A small group of degenerates will ruin things for the rest of us. I, for one, don't care if cons are canceled. But as an adult who was raised to respect others, I will NEVER sit idly by and not call you out. I will NOT silence myself when it comes to defending other people who have done NOTHING WRONG TO YOU PERSONALLY. Maybe this comes with age. Maybe it doesn't. I don't know. And I'll never pretend to understand why people are so hateful and ugly.

"Demons I Get. People Are Crazy." - Dean Winchester

(Dean would be ashamed of all of you.)

The Future of Finance: How Fintech Is Winning the Cybersecurity Race

In the cyber age, the financial world has been reshaped by fintech's relentless innovation. Mobile banking apps grant us access to our financial lives at our fingertips, and online investment platforms have revolutionised wealth management. Yet, beneath this veneer of convenience and accessibility lies an ominous spectre — the looming threat of cyberattacks on the financial sector. The number of cyberattacks is expected to increase by 50% in 2023. The global fintech market is expected to reach $324 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 25.2% from 2023 to 2028. This growth of the fintech market makes it even more prone to cyber-attacks. To prevent this there are certain measures and innovations let's find out more about them

Cybersecurity Measures in Fintech

To mitigate the ever-present threat of cyberattacks, fintech companies employ a multifaceted approach to cybersecurity problems and solutions. Here are some key measures:

1. Encryption

Encrypting data at rest and in transit is fundamental to protecting sensitive information. Strong encryption algorithms ensure that even if a hacker gains access to data, it remains unreadable without the decryption keys.

2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification (e.g., passwords, fingerprints, or security tokens) before gaining access to their accounts.

3. Continuous Monitoring

Fintech companies employ advanced monitoring systems that constantly assess network traffic for suspicious activities. This allows for real-time threat detection and rapid response.

4. Penetration Testing

Regular penetration testing, performed by ethical hackers, helps identify vulnerabilities in systems and applications before malicious actors can exploit them.

5. Employee Training

Human error is a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches. Companies invest in cybersecurity training programs to educate employees about best practices and the risks associated with cyber threats.

6. Incident Response Plans

Having a well-defined incident response plan in place ensures that, in the event of a breach, the company can respond swiftly and effectively to mitigate the damage.

Emerging Technologies in Fintech Cybersecurity

As cyber threats continue to evolve, so do cybersecurity technologies in fintech. Here are some emerging technologies that are making a significant impact:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI and machine learning algorithms are used to analyse vast amounts of data and identify patterns indicative of cyber threats. This allows for proactive threat detection and quicker response times.

2. Blockchain

Blockchain technology is employed to enhance the security and transparency of financial transactions. It ensures that transaction records are immutable and cannot be altered by malicious actors.

3. Biometrics

Fintech companies are increasingly adopting biometric authentication methods, such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, to provide a higher level of security than traditional passwords.

4. Quantum-Safe Encryption

With the advent of quantum computing, which poses a threat to current encryption methods, fintech companies are exploring quantum-safe encryption techniques to future-proof their security measures.

Conclusion

In the realm of fintech, where trust and security are paramount, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated. Fintech companies must remain vigilant, employing a combination of advanced digital transformation solutions, employee training, and robust incident response plans to protect sensitive financial data from cyber threats. As the industry continues to evolve, staying one step ahead of cybercriminals will be an ongoing challenge, but one that fintech firms must embrace to ensure their continued success and the safety of their customers' financial well-being.

The 2024 Cybersecurity Outlook: Key Takeaways from Pentera’s State of Pentesting Report

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/the-2024-cybersecurity-outlook-key-takeaways-from-penteras-state-of-pentesting-report/

The 2024 Cybersecurity Outlook: Key Takeaways from Pentera’s State of Pentesting Report

Cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, and the threats have recently been amplified due to the ease of attacking critical infrastructure amidst the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs). Pentera’s 2024 State of Pentesting report sheds light on the pressing challenges and shifting paradigms in cybersecurity across global organizations.

Conducted among 450 CISOs, CIOs, and IT security leaders across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, the survey provides a comprehensive view of the current state of security validation strategies, revealing critical insights into how enterprises are navigating the complexities of cybersecurity in a rapidly evolving world.

A Snapshot of the Current Cybersecurity Landscape

A striking 51% of organizations reported experiencing a breach within the past 24 months, highlighting the persistent threats facing enterprise IT environments today. Despite the adoption of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) frameworks, organizations are grappling with unexpected downtime, data exposure, and significant financial damages, with only 7% of respondents reporting no significant impact from these breaches.

Financial Realities: Budgets vs. Breaches

In a notable shift from the previous year’s optimism, 53% of organizations report their IT security budgets for 2024 are either decreasing or stagnating. This stark reality poses a significant challenge for security leaders, who are now tasked with doing more with less—maximizing operational efficiency and leveraging existing security suites to their fullest potential.

Leadership Engagement in Cybersecurity

The report also highlights a growing trend: over 50% of CISOs now share pentest assessment results with their Boards of Directors (BoDs), underscoring an increased interest from management teams and BoDs in understanding organizational resilience and the potential operational and business impacts of cyber incidents.

The Cost of Vigilance

Organizations are investing heavily in manual pentesting, with an average annual expenditure of $164,400, accounting for 12.9% of their total IT security budget. However, with 60% of organizations conducting pentesting only twice a year at most, this represents a significant investment in an activity that may not have an obvious ROI.

The Dynamics of Security Testing and Network Changes

The frequency of security testing still lags behind the rate of network changes, with 73% of organizations reporting changes to their IT environments at least quarterly, while only 40% report conducting pentesting with the same frequency. This discrepancy highlights a critical gap in security validation testing, leaving organizations vulnerable to extended periods of risk.

Prioritizing Security Efforts

With over 60% of organizations reporting a minimum of 500 security events requiring remediation per week, achieving “patch perfection” is increasingly unfeasible. In cybersecurity, “patch perfection” refers to the ideal state where all software security patches and updates are applied promptly and effectively.

This ensures that vulnerabilities are addressed as soon as fixes are available, minimizing the window of opportunity for cyber attacks. Security teams are thus focusing their efforts on addressing the most critical security gaps to preempt potential exploits by hackers.

Conclusion

Pentera’s 2024 State of Pentesting report underscores the complex and dynamic nature of cybersecurity in today’s digital world. As organizations navigate through these challenges, the insights from the report serve as a crucial resource for security leaders seeking to enhance their security validation strategies and build more resilient enterprises.
