SVG Steganography Steganography is not only limited to pixel-based images but can be used to embed messages into vector-based formats like SVG. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/SVG%20Steganography/31978 Fortinet Vulnerability Details CVE-2025-32756 Horizon3.ai shows how it was able to find the vulnerability in Fortinet s products, and how to possibly exploit this issue. The vulnerability is already being exploited in the wild and was patched May 13th https://horizon3.ai/attack-research/attack-blogs/cve-2025-32756-low-rise-jeans-are-back-and-so-are-buffer-overflows/ Remote Prompt Injection in GitLab Duo Leads to Source Code Theft An attacker may leave instructions (prompts) for GitLab Duo embedded in the source code. This could be used to exfiltrate source code and secrets or to inject malicious code into an application. https://www.legitsecurity.com/blog/remote-prompt-injection-in-gitlab-duo

Hablamos con Iván Servia, de Tagen Ata, quien actualmente está impartiendo un curso de acreditación docente y ofreciendo formación para cooperativas. En nuestra charla, además de comentar su experiencia en la formación docente, abordamos la importancia de la capacitación en ciberseguridad, tema clave en la actualidad. Según el Informe global sobre la brecha de competencias en ciberseguridad 2024 de Fortinet, la falta de formación es responsable del 70 % de los ciberataques, que afectan a sectores como la banca, el comercio, la sanidad, la administración pública y la justicia. España es uno de los países europeos más afectados, recibiendo alrededor del 5 % de los ataques globales. El estudio destaca que casi el 90 % de las organizaciones han sufrido brechas de seguridad el último año, y que el déficit de competencias en ciberseguridad, la falta de compromiso organizativo y la insuficiente tecnología son las principales causas. Además, siete de cada diez responsables de sistemas reconocen que la carencia de formación aumenta los riesgos. El impacto económico es alto, con pérdidas que superan el millón de euros en la mitad de los casos, y responsabilidades legales para los directivos involucrados. La demanda de profesionales cualificados supera la oferta, y se estima que hacen falta cuatro millones de expertos para cubrir el déficit global. La formación continua y las certificaciones en ciberseguridad son altamente valoradas y respaldadas por las empresas, que están invirtiendo en ellas para mejorar la seguridad. Sin embargo, encontrar candidatos con la formación adecuada sigue siendo un desafío, especialmente en España, donde el 80 % de las empresas reporta dificultad en este aspecto. Finalmente, el aumento del compromiso de los consejos de administración y la implementación de formación obligatoria en ciberseguridad reflejan un cambio positivo en la gestión de estos riesgos.

While the report shows that organizations are resolving vulnerabilities faster than ever, genAI systems stand out as a growing security blind spot: only 21% of serious genAI vulnerabilities identified during penetration testing are fixed, compared to over 75% for API flaws and 68% for cloud vulnerabilities. Nearly 32% of genAI-related findings were classified as high risk — more than double the average across other systems. And although 98% of organizations are adopting genAI-powered features, only 66% are running regular security assessments on those systems.

In this episode of the mnemonic security podcast, Robby is joined by Ricardo Ferreira, CISO EMEA at Fortinet, to explore the power of policy as code and its role in technical resilience. Ferreira explains how organisations can move beyond manual processes to automate security policies, reduce complexity, and enhance agility. They discuss cloud transformation, the challenges of enforcing policy at scale, and why automation and cultural change are essential for security teams. Plus, the growing role of AI and what the future holds for policy-driven security.You can find his book Policy Design in the Age of Digital Adoption, here: https://www.amazon.com/Policy-Design-Digital-Adoption-transformation-ebook/dp/B09WJBQ7L7Send us a text

In this Soap Box edition of Risky Business host Patrick Gray talks to Knocknoc CEO Adam Pointon about how to easily rein in attack surface by glueing your single sign-on service to your network controls. Do your Palo Alto and Fortinet devices really need to be discoverable by ransomware crews? Does your file transfer appliance need to be open to the whole world? What about your SSH and RDP? Your Citrix? Your (gasp) Exchange Online servers?? You can do a lot with IP allowlisting and simple Identity Aware Proxies (IAPs) to minimise your exposure. Knocknoc is a bit of a “Risky Business special”, too. Pat helped Knocknoc to raise a seed round through Decibel Partners where he's a founder advisor. He also serves on Knocknoc's board of directors.

In today's episode, I welcome Ricardo Ferreira, EMEA Field CISO at Fortinet, to discuss how the UK's proposed Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill compares to the EU's NIS2 directive. Ricardo brings a wealth of experience in cybersecurity strategy and regulation, and he shares why he believes the UK's bill is missing key components that could make it truly effective. With Brexit allowing the UK to take an independent approach, Ricardo argues that there is a unique opportunity to cherry-pick the most effective elements from NIS2 while avoiding its potential pitfalls. But is the current bill providing enough clarity?  Ricardo highlights how the legislation introduces buzzwords like "digital supply chain" without actually outlining a clear path for addressing cyber threats. In contrast, NIS2 lays out a prescriptive approach that includes risk profiling, supply chain security frameworks, and post-breach recovery strategies. We also explore the growing need for board-level accountability in cybersecurity. Should executives and directors be held personally responsible for cyber resilience within their organizations? And how can governments ensure that businesses have both the guidance and incentives to proactively address security risks rather than reactively scramble to contain breaches? With cyber threats only growing more sophisticated, the role of regulation in mitigating risk has never been more important. But does the UK's current legislative approach go far enough? And what lessons can be learned from international frameworks like NIS2? Tune in for an insightful discussion on the future of cybersecurity policy, where it's headed, and what needs to change to create truly resilient digital infrastructures. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts—how should governments balance regulation with innovation in cybersecurity?
