19+ hour, 32+ min ago (816+ words) Monica Landen, Chief Information Security Officer at Diligent. After more than 20 years in cybersecurity, I've learned to be skeptical. I've seen countless vendors promise to "revolutionize security," only to deliver another dashboard we barely have time to check. I'm not easily impressed by the latest buzzwords, and I'll admit I'm not the type who looks forward to sales demos. But even for a skeptic like me, it's becoming clear that cybersecurity teams need to fundamentally rethink how we work, as evidenced by our late arrival to the cloud transformation. I remember when engineering teams were already deploying workloads to AWS while my security engineers'myself included'could barely spell "EC2." It wasn't because we were lazy or uninterested. We were overwhelmed and buried under alerts, chasing system owners for remediation and fighting for time just to keep up with the basics. Meanwhile, our…...

These airports include Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bengaluru " collectively handling millions of passengers every day. GPS spoofing is among the most dangerous forms of digital interference in aviation. By feeding fake signals to aircraft receivers, attackers can"at least theoretically"manipulate navigation paths. In this case, multiple flights detected anomalies but no flight was cancelled or diverted, thanks to immediate corrective protocols activated by air traffic controllers and on-board safety systems. The government clarified that while the attack was serious, operational stability was maintained and no passenger was put at risk. India's aviation network switched to contingency procedures, including reliance on ILS (Instrument Landing…...
