Positive Technologies To Participate In GISEC Global 2025
At the Positive Technologies booth (D 90, Hall 7), in-house experts will share their expertise in application security, industrial cybersecurity, and detection of cyberattacks in network traffic using PT Network Attack Discovery. The Positive Technologies team will also host workshops in the Hack-O-Sphere zone.
'Multiple countries in the Middle East have made significant strides in cybersecurity. However, organizations in the region remain an attractive target for cybercriminals, as our research shows,' says Ilya Leonov, Regional Director for MENA, Positive Technologies. 'At GISEC Global 2025, we will focus on application security (AppSec) and operational technology security (OT security). Our team will share best practices for using PT Network Attack Discovery, which detects cybercriminal activity in the network traffic and also aids in incident investigation and proactive threat hunting. We'll also be talking about a range of our other products and solutions to help you get real value from your cybersecurity investments. Additionally, our experts will demonstrate sophisticated attack methods and explain how to defend against them.'
Visitors to the Positive Technologies booth will have the opportunity to observe offensive security specialists simulating DMA attacks, using various devices to bypass defenses and gain access to valuable information. An accessible and user-friendly tool for chip security analysis will also be presented to GISEC participants. This tool, which simulates fault injection attacks, will be demonstrated in action, and the Positive Technologies team will deliver a workshop for cybersecurity professionals.
Positive Technologies will also be organizing four activities in the Hack-O-Sphere zone. At Fixathon, guests will have the opportunity to test their skills in fixing code vulnerabilities and improve their secure development skills. The second activity is dedicated to steganography: guests will be encouraged to find words encrypted in the works of renowned artists and get acquainted with this fascinating method of information transmission. At the workshop on hacking devices, participants will learn how attackers exploit physical access vulnerabilities and how to defend against such attacks. At the soldering workshop, you'll have the opportunity to craft a useful mini-gadget. 0 0

High-Severity Windows Flaw Revealed by Security Expert
Home » Emerging technologies » Cyber Security » High-Severity Windows Flaw Revealed by Security Expert Positive Technologies has revealed a high-severity vulnerability affecting 37 desktop and server Windows operating systems. The flaw impacts Windows 11, Windows 10, Server 2025, Server 2022, and Server 2019 across various versions and architectures. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-49689, was discovered by Sergey Tarasov, Specialist at the Positive Technologies Expert Security Center. It affects the NTFS file system driver and was assigned a CVSS 3.1 severity score of 7.8. The flaw could have enabled privilege escalation if a user opened a malicious virtual hard disk (VHD). This would allow attackers to bypass Windows security and gain full control of the system. Microsoft was notified under responsible disclosure protocols and released patches in July 2025. • Over 1.5 million devices are reportedly exposed • U.S. and China account for the largest number of affected systems StatCounter data shows Windows 11's market share rose from below 30% in 2024 to over 43% by May 2025. Tarasov explained that attackers often use VHD files in phishing campaigns. Many users treat these files like ordinary archives, increasing the risk of exploitation. Positive Technologies recommends users install the latest Windows updates. If updates cannot be applied, users should only open VHD files from trusted sources. The company also advises deploying its tools, including MaxPatrol VM and MaxPatrol EDR, to detect and prevent similar threats. In 2024, Tarasov helped address another vulnerability, CVE-2024-43629, affecting Windows 10, 11, and Server editions. In 2017, the PT Expert Security Center collaborated with Microsoft to resolve CVE-2017-0263.

Meta may face daily fines over pay-or-consent model, EU warns
27 June 2025 15:48 BRUSSELS (Reuters)Meta Platforms may face daily fines if EU regulators decide the changes it has proposed to its pay-or-consent model fail to comply with an antitrust order issued in April, they said on warning from the European Commission, which acts as the EU competition enforcer, came two months after it slapped a 200-million-euro ($234 million) fine on the US social media giant for breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aiming at curbing the power of Big move shows the Commission's continuing crackdown against Big Tech and its push to create a level playing field for smaller rivals despite US criticism about the bloc's rules mainly targeting its fines for not complying with the DMA can be as much as 5% of a company's average daily worldwide EU executive said Meta's pay-or-consent model introduced in November 2023 breached the DMA in the period up to November 2024, when it tweaked it to use less personal data for targeted advertising. The Commission has been scrutinising the changes since model gives Facebook and Instagram users who consent to be tracked a free service that is funded by advertising revenues. Alternatively, they can pay for an ad-free EU competition watchdog said Meta will only make limited changes to its pay-or-consent model rolled out last November."The Commission cannot confirm at this stage if these are sufficient to comply with the main parameters of compliance outlined in its non-compliance Decision," a spokesperson said."With this in mind, we will consider the next steps, including recalling that continuous non-compliance could entail the application of periodic penalty payments running as of 27 June 2025, as indicated in the non-compliance decision."Meta accused the Commission of discriminating against the company and for moving the goalposts during discussions over the last two months."A user choice between a subscription for no ads service or a free ad supported service remains a legitimate business model for every company in Europe - except Meta," a Meta spokesperson said."We are confident that the range of choices we offer people in the EU doesn't just comply with what the EU's rules require - it goes well beyond them."The EU watchdog dismissed Meta's discrimination charges, saying the DMA applies equally to all large digital companies doing business in the EU regardless of where they are incorporated or who their controlling shareholders are. "We have always enforced and will continue to enforce our laws fairly and without discrimination towards all companies operating in the EU, in full compliance with global rules," the Commission spokesperson said.
