Introduction As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, service providers play an increasingly vital role in safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining compliance with industry regulations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) offers a comprehensive set of frameworks that provide a clear path to achieving robust cybersecurity practices. For service providers, adhering to NIST

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on an “auto-propagating” cryptocurrency mining botnet called Outlaw (aka Dota) that’s known for targeting SSH servers with weak credentials. “Outlaw is a Linux malware that relies on SSH brute-force attacks, cryptocurrency mining, and worm-like propagation to infect and maintain control over systems,” Elastic Security Labs said in a new analysis

The dawn of our fifth year deepens our understanding of the enemies at the gate, and some tensions inside it; plus, an anniversary gift from us to you

When assessing an organization’s external attack surface, encryption-related issues (especially SSL misconfigurations) receive special attention. Why? Their widespread use, configuration complexity, and visibility to attackers as well as users make them more likely to be exploited.  This highlights how important your SSL configurations are in maintaining your web application security and

The financially motivated threat actor known as FIN7 has been linked to a Python-based backdoor called Anubis (not to be confused with an Android banking trojan of the same name) that can grant them remote access to compromised Windows systems. “This malware allows attackers to execute remote shell commands and other system operations, giving them…

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered an updated version of a malware loader called Hijack Loader that implements new features to evade detection and establish persistence on compromised systems. “Hijack Loader released a new module that implements call stack spoofing to hide the origin of function calls (e.g., API and system calls),” Zscaler ThreatLabz researcher Muhammed Irfan…

Transportation facilities and networks slowly adapt to changes and threats, leaving them vulnerable to agile cyberattackers, as demonstrated by the $10 million ransomware attack.

The new Google Workspace features will make it easier for enterprise customers to implement end-to-end encryption within Gmail.

A successful enterprise security defense requires a successful endpoint security effort. With options ranging from EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and more, how do security teams cut through the clutter and focus on what matters?

Over the past few weeks, bad actors from different regions have been scanning devices with the VPN for potential vulnerabilities.
