Content delivery network and cloud services provider Akamai, which recently acquired API security firm Neosec in a deal expected to close in the next two weeks, is joining the API security ecosystem. Akamai noted companies use an average of 1,061 apps and, to give a sense of the scope of attacks, noted that there were 161 million API attacks on Oct. 8, 2022 and peaked on Oct. 9.
Overcoming industry obstacles for decentralized digital identitiesIn this Help Net Security interview, Eve Maler, CTO at ForgeRock, talks about how digital identities continue to play a critical role in how we access online services securely. PaperCut vulnerabilities leveraged by Clop, LockBit ransomware affiliatesClop and LockBit ransomware affiliates are behind the recent attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in PaperCut application servers, according to Microsoft and Trend Micro researchers.

Find out why extended detection and response was at the center of Cisco's launch activities at RSA, including the company's announcement about its cloud-based XDR service. XDR is not SIEM. Gillis explained that XDR serves a different purpose than traditional security information and event management.
Github has updated its SSH keys after accidentally publishing the private part to the world. A post on Github's security blog reveals that the company has changed its RSA SSH host keys.
Cloud-based repository hosting service GitHub said it took the step of replacing its RSA SSH host key used to secure Git operations "Out of an abundance of caution" after it was briefly exposed in a public repository. The activity, which was carried out at 05:00 UTC on March 24, 2023, is said to have been undertaken as a measure to prevent any bad actor from impersonating the service or eavesdropping on users' operations over SSH. "This key does not grant access to GitHub's infrastructure or customer data," Mike Hanley, chief security officer and SVP of engineering at GitHub, said in a post.
Recently, Chinese researchers have claimed that an existing algorithm can be used with today's quantum computers to break the RSA algorithm, which is the fundamental basis of secure internet communication. The basic claim of the paper, published last Christmas by 24 Chinese researchers, is that they have found an algorithm that enables 2,048-bit RSA keys to be broken even with the relatively low-power quantum computers available today.
