Internal and external penetration tests serve different purposes in assessing an organization’s security. One focuses on threats from within the network, such as a compromised device or insider access.  The other looks at how attackers might exploit systems exposed to the internet. Both tests are important, but they target different risks and require different approaches. …

Penetration testing plays a critical role in assessing an organization’s ability to withstand cyberattacks. Security teams use it to simulate real-world threats, find weak points, and assess how well defenses hold up under pressure. However, not all penetration tests follow the same approach. Different types serve different goals, whether it’s testing external infrastructure, employee behavior,…

Cyberattacks are increasing in both scale and severity, placing immense pressure on organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity posture. In 2024 alone, over 16.8 billion records were compromised in 6,670 publicly reported data breaches. Of those, 63% affected organizations based in the United States. These incidents now come with a steep financial toll. The average cost…

The global market for data exfiltration prevention and response reached $69.7 billion in 2021 and is expected to hit $217.5 billion by 2031, with a projected annual growth rate of 12.3%. That growth reflects how quickly data theft has become a critical issue for organizations of every size. Security teams face daily threats from insiders,…

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) supports incident response through timely and relevant information that shapes decisions during cybersecurity incidents. As attacks grow more advanced and frequent, organizations rely on CTI to guide their actions and limit potential damage.  According to a 2024 SANS report, 78% of security teams reported faster incident resolution when CTI was integrated…

Every click, search, and online purchase leaves a trace. These traces form your digital footprint, a record of your activity that organizations, advertisers, and malicious actors can collect and analyze. According to a 2024 Pew Research survey, 79%of internet users worry about how companies use their personal data, and 64% worry about the government, yet…

Los Angeles is home to more than just entertainment studios and tech startups. It has also become a major center for cybersecurity innovation.  With over 900 cybersecurity firms operating across California and a steady rise in demand for digital protection, Los Angeles stands out as an important market for security services.  In 2023 alone, cybercrime…

When discussing security in generative AI systems, especially those powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), it’s essential to consider the OWASP Top 10 LLM risks. These models introduce new categories of security risks beyond traditional software vulnerabilities. Right now, we’ll explore each of the OWASP Top 10 LLM GenAI vulnerabilities in 2025. For each risk,…

Penetration testing (pentesting) remains a critical component of cybersecurity. With the growing complexity of IT environments, organizations are adopting hybrid penetration testing approaches that blend automated tools with manual techniques. This combined approach allows organizations to focus their remediation efforts on the most critical vulnerabilities, ensuring efficient resource allocation and reducing overall risk exposure. This…

That sinking feeling. The sudden dread. One minute, your crucial document is there, the next, it’s gone. Poof. Vanished. Data loss. It’s a digital nightmare we all secretly fear, and unfortunately, one many of us experience firsthand.
