As the threat landscape evolves, it becomes a game of survival of the fittest. Only the best attacks and attackers remain standing, and the result is a series of targeted ransomware attacks that now cost global enterprises millions of dollars per year. This is among the important findings of the Sophos 2019 Threat...

Companies want to understand and implement threat hunting practices, but in reality - and with a limited budget - it is not always feasible to do so in-house, given the demand for resources and skills. That's where managed threat hunting enters. More often, organizations want to use that funding to shore up defense...
Two years after Mirai botnets first appeared, security researchers say telnet-targeting botnets are attempting to compromise internet of things devices by pummeling them with 1,065 different username/password combinations. Some of these attacks are designed to install Linux DDoS malware.
The Pentagon is warning that a data breach at a third-party travel management service provider exposed records for an estimated 30,000 civilian and military personnel. The breach alert follows a recent GAO report warning of serious cybersecurity shortcomings in U.S. weapon systems.
Malware continues to increase in sophistication and routinely evades organizations' cyber defenses. It lurks inside networks waiting to execute attacks that can cause significant damage. Automated Static Analysis of binary files enables security teams to unlock an array of new threat intelligence, hunting, analysis,...
A decade ago sandboxing (dynamic analysis) was introduced as the first automated way to understand the actions of potential malware. Now widely deployed, it offers real value in understanding and identifying unknown malware.
However, there are limitations; it is unable to keep up with the large volume of malware...
A common complaint among threat intelligence analysts is the near impossibility of searching global threat intelligence feeds to find the specific threat and vulnerability information that matters to their organization. This complaint is just the tip of the iceberg. The underlying problem is the lack of visibility and...
This survey report reveals that for many organizations, threat hunting is still new and poorly defined from a process and organizational standpoint. Most are still reacting to alerts and incidents instead of proactively seeking out the threats.
While the act of threat hunting cannot be fully automated, it heavily...
Increasingly, threat hunting is a practice that enterprises want to understand and implement. But it is not always feasible to do so in-house, given the demand for resources and skills. That's where managed threat hunting enters.
Companies want to be able to build out threat hunting practices, but in reality - with...
Hackers are constantly developing new exploits, and updating defenses is not an easy task. Dan Larson of Crowdstrike discusses some the new techniques hackers are using and how to fight them off.
The cyberthreat landscape is rapidly changing. As attacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication, agency defenses also must evolve.
In order to do so, many agencies are moving toward a more holistic, analytics-driven approach to security. By gaining an end-to-end view of what's happening inside an agency...
Increasingly, threat hunting is a practice that enterprises want to understand and implement. But it is not always feasible to do so in-house, given the demand for resources and skills. That's where managed threat hunting enters, says CrowdStrike's Jennifer Ayers.
Most enterprises are at least discussing security analytics. But how are they actually deploying these tools? And with what levels of automation and orchestration? Drew Gidwani of ThreatConnect shares insight on how to maximize analytics.
