XDR has emerged as a go-to solution for all cybersecurity problems due to its comprehensive nature. It is a smart way to fight advanced threats by integrating and correlating data across multiple security layers from endpoints, networks, emails, servers, and cloud workloads. Fidelis Elevate is a leading example of XDR in action, providing comprehensive protection by seamlessly integrating and analyzing data from diverse security layers.

Active Directory (AD) remains a cornerstone of IT infrastructure, serving as the foundation for user authentication, resource access, and organizational security. Whether operating a traditional, hybrid AD environment, or fully cloud-based setup, protecting Microsoft Active Directory is critical. Its central role is to make it a high-value target for attackers, necessitating robust strategies for cyber resilience and Active Directory resilience to ensure business continuity and threat mitigation.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury suffered a major security incident when a Chinese threat actor compromised its third-party cybersecurity service BeyondTrust. The attackers obtained an API key that allowed them to bypass security measures and access unclassified documents.

Businesses face many dangers like never before in this age of technology. In 2024 alone, ransomware's financial impact is higher than ever, with data backup and recovery costs averaging $2.74 million—nearly $1 million more than in 2023. Ransomware also impacts company costs due to downtime, with businesses facing an average of 21 days of disruption when (and if) a ransomware attack is identified.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued an urgent warning about a surge in immigration scams targeting immigrants and their families on social media platforms like Facebook. Scammers are impersonating attorneys and law firms, promising immigration services such as work permits, green cards, or even citizenship.

Kubernetes is a revolutionary technology for orchestrating containerized applications, enabling organizations to deploy and manage applications efficiently. Containers’ portability, scalability, and agility have transformed software development and deployment. However, these benefits come with significant security challenges, including risks associated with vulnerabilities in container images and potential misconfigurations.

It’s 9:00 AM, and your team is ready to tackle the day. But before they can start, access issues rear their ugly head. A developer can’t get into the staging server and IT is buried under a mountain of permission requests. Sounds familiar? Employees lose up to five hours weekly on IT access issues, while IT teams spend 48% of their time handling manual provisioning. These inefficiencies cost both time and valuable progress. So, how do you fix it?

Adversaries are taking aim at cloud environments, as evidenced by the 75% increase in cloud intrusions in 2023. Organizations are under growing pressure to ensure they have measures in place to effectively detect, investigate and respond to cloud-focused attacks. Cloud detection and response (CDR) is uniquely challenging for SOC teams due to their limited visibility into the cloud control plane, resource configurations and application deployments.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently issued a warning that iPhone and Android users should begin using encrypted messaging apps to protect the privacy of their communications from foreign hackers. The FBI issued this warning after Salt Typhoon – a Chinese hacking group – infiltrated American networks and began collecting data from phone calls and text messages.

Audit logs are important in maintaining the security of an organization's information systems. They record all the events taking place in a system, including log-on attempts, file access, network connections, and other important operations. Therefore, these logs must be monitored and analyzed effectively. This is achieved through audit log management.

It's more important than ever to stay ahead of possible risks in today's fast changing cyber threat landscape. You can't just use old-fashioned security steps to keep your business safe from modern attacks. This is where Managed Detection and Response (MDR) security comes in and changes everything.
