A Beginner’s Guide to PCI DSS 4.0: Requirements 1-4
Valid card data is highly sought-after on the cybercrime underground. In fact, it’s helping to drive a global epidemic in payment fraud predicted to reach $40bn by 2026. In a bid to stem losses, the card industry created the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) over two decades ago. No organization that processes, transmits or stores card data can afford to ignore it. Yet compliance can be onerous.

Shifting Left for Proactive IT Security and ITSM
As organizations prioritize IT security and efficiency, the concept of "shifting left" has gained momentum across both security and service management. Traditionally, many IT security and IT Service Management (ITSM) practices have focused on reactive measures—identifying and remediating issues after they arise post-event. However, with the rapid shift toward DevSecOps and a need for proactive protection and resiliency in a complex threat landscape, the "shift left" paradigm is empowering teams to address security and compliance from the beginning of the software development and operations cycle.

Subverting LLM Coders
Really interesting research: “An LLM-Assisted Easy-to-Trigger Backdoor Attack on Code Completion Models: Injecting Disguised Vulnerabilities against Strong Detection“:
Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed code com-
pletion tasks, providing context-based suggestions to boost developer productivity in software engineering. As users often fine-tune these models for specific applications, poisoning and backdoor attacks can covertly alter the model outputs. To address this critical security challenge, we introduce CODEBREAKER, a pioneering LLM-assisted backdoor attack framework on code completion models. Unlike recent attacks that embed malicious payloads in detectable or irrelevant sections of the code (e.g., comments), CODEBREAKER leverages LLMs (e.g., GPT-4) for sophisticated payload transformation (without affecting functionalities), ensuring that both the poisoned data for fine-tuning and generated code can evade strong vulnerability detection. CODEBREAKER stands out with its comprehensive coverage of vulnerabilities, making it the first to provide such an extensive set for evaluation. Our extensive experimental evaluations and user studies underline the strong attack performance of CODEBREAKER across various settings, validating its superiority over existing approaches. By integrating malicious payloads directly into the source code with minimal transformation, CODEBREAKER challenges current security measures, underscoring the critical need for more robust defenses for code completion...
