Appdome, the company protecting mobile businesses, has stated that its AI-Native MobileBOT Defense solution now offers the most comprehensive mobile bot defense profile on the market. With the new release, Appdome now offers full flexibility for mixing and matching where and how to enforce mobile app protections. Mobile businesses can enforce these protections at the client app level, network layer, or a combination of both, Appdome said. Capable of evaluating 400+ attack vectors in Android and iOS apps, operating systems (OSes), devices, user interfaces and networks, Appdome’s MobileBOT defence profile allows network security teams to not only stop brute force bot and credential stuffing attacks, but also spear phishing, account takeover (ATO), know your customer (KYC) fraud, on-device fraud (ODF), and deepfake threats in real time across account creation, login, password reset, payment and other critical application programming interface (API) endpoints. “Up until now, m...

Akamai Technologies, the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online, has announced Firewall for AI, a new solution that provides multilayered protection for AI applications against unauthorized queries, adversarial inputs, and large-scale data-scraping attempts. As AI rapidly transforms industries, organisations are quickly deploying large language models (LLMs), agentic AI, and other emerging tools. However, these innovations introduce new security vulnerabilities, including adversarial attacks, model extraction, application programming interface (API) abuse, and large-scale data scraping — threats that existing web application firewalls (WAFs) are not designed to mitigate, the company said. “Traditional security solutions do not stop AI threats,” said Rupesh Chokshi, Senior VP and GM, Application Security, Akamai.  “As enterprises embrace the AI era to unlock new levels of productivity, AI security must be a key enabler. Firewall for AI i...

In March, Progress added web application firewall (WAF) functionality to its MOVEit Cloud managed file transfer solution. The new feature strengthens security by blocking malicious web traffic before it can infiltrate systems. John Yang, VP, APJ, Progress , explains more about the current landscape, and what WAFs do: Q: In the ever-changing threat landscape, what are the most significant cybersecurity changes you've observed in recent years? Source: Progress. Yang. Yang (JY): As artificial intelligence continues to advance, it’s easier for cyber attackers to execute more sophisticated and highly targeted attacks. Unfortunately, defensive measures haven’t kept pace with these developments. To stay protected in today’s evolving cybersecurity landscape, organisations need to adopt layered defense strategies that combine prevention with early detection, while emphasising the importance of user education, as human error remains the most significant vulnerability. In fact, human er...

Source: NVIDIA. The NVIDIA Cybersecurity AI platform. NVIDIA is bringing runtime cybersecurity to every AI factory with NVIDIA DOCA Argus , running on the NVIDIA BlueField networking platform. Unlike conventional tools, Argus runs independently of the host, requiring no agents, integration or reliance on host-based resources. This agentless, zero-overhead design enhances system efficiency and ensures resilient security in any AI compute environment, including containerised workloads like NVIDIA NIM microservices, and multitenant infrastructures, NVIDIA said. As it operates outside the host, Argus remains invisible to attackers — even during a system compromise.  “Cyber defenders need robust tools to effectively protect AI factories, which serve as the foundation for agentic reasoning,” said David Reber, Chief Security Officer at NVIDIA.  “The DOCA Argus framework delivers real-time security insights to enable autonomous detection and response — equipping defenders...

Wipro, a major technology services and consulting company, is to deliver security operations powered by CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM . This collaboration increases business agility and secures the modern enterprise by combining the knowledge of expert cybersecurity professionals and strategic industry partners. Wipro’s CyberShield platform will be augmented with CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to modernise security operations, reduce complexity and stop breaches with AI-powered threat detection and response. With CrowdStrike first-party data natively inside the Falcon platform, Wipro is able to deliver faster time to value, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved cybersecurity outcomes. "Innovative partners like Wipro selecting Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to power their managed services practices underscores CrowdStrike’s competitive advantages over both legacy and modern alternatives," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike.  "Together we’re...
