Cybersecurity & Compliance News
This week in cybersecurity: Chinese threat actors exploited a BeyondTrust API key to access U.S. Treasury systems, Meta faced a €251 million fine for a 2018 data breach affecting 29 million users, and Apple settled a $95 million class-action lawsuit over Siri privacy violations. Meanwhile, researchers unveiled 'Bad Likert Judge,' a new AI jailbreak technique exposing vulnerabilities in large language models, and FireScam, an Android malware posing as Telegram Premium, is stealing sensitive data via phishing sites. Additionally, the LDAPNightmare exploit highlights critical Windows LDAP server vulnerabilities, underscoring the urgent need for proactive security measures.
ISP Management & Updates
Ensuring robust information security starts with a solid foundation. From reviewing your Information Security Policies and Procedures to managing suppliers with our Approved Supplier List (SVM-FM-002) and Supplier Assessment Form (SVM-FM-001), Input Output offers tools to streamline and strengthen your security program. Our WISP (Written Information Security Program) provides a comprehensive blueprint to safeguard data, mitigate risks, and achieve compliance. Internal audits, including ISP Control Audits and Technical Control Audits using our Audit Template (ALM-FM-001), ensure ongoing effectiveness. By tailoring policies to organizational needs, addressing stakeholder concerns, and maintaining a dynamic security plan, Input Output helps you protect what matters most while staying resilient against evolving threats.

Audit Season Survival (Barely)
Audit season has come and gone, and we’ve lived to tell the tale! For some reason, the end of the year turns into a mad dash for organizations trying to squeeze in their information security audits.

Do your future self a favor and pencil us in sooner next year—we promise it’ll be worth it!
