Cybersecurity middleware: abstraction layer for cybersecurity

Almost eight years ago, Christof Jungo, who was at the time head of security architecture and engineering at Swisscom, proposed the idea of cybersecurity middleware. Christof’s idea was that although it is easy to collect all security telemetry in one place, it is difficult to operationalize it for fast and efficient incident response. He proposed a concept of interchangeable and interoperable parts that can act as a middleware, a higher-level abstraction layer for security.

Chinese fraudsters: evading detection and monetizing stolen credit card information

Cyber attacks are common occurrences that often make headlines, but the leakage of personal information, particularly credit card data, can have severe consequences for individuals. It is essential to understand the techniques employed by cyber criminals to steal this sensitive information.

How ThreatQ Embodies RSAC 2023 Theme: Stronger Together

RSAConference 2023 USA hit the nail on the head with this year’s theme: Stronger Together. From the U.S. federal government’s prioritization to promote threat intelligence sharing, to the geopolitical environment and joining of allies to combat cyberwarfare, and the cybersecurity industry’s buzz around frameworks and architectures that prioritize detection and response across the enterprise.

Distributed Energy Resources and Grid Security

As the United States government, the energy industry, and individual consumers work toward cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions, it is crucial to consider how new and advancing technologies affect, and are affected by, cybersecurity concerns. ­­­­Increasing use of smart energy devices can be useful for consumers to have more control over their energy consumption, but can also pose a security risk if the devices and systems are not adequately protected.

Proxyjacking has Entered the Chat

Did you know that you can effortlessly make a small passive income by simply letting an application run on your home computers and mobile phones? It lets others (who pay a fee to a proxy service provider) borrow your Internet Protocol (IP) address for things like watching a YouTube video that isn’t available in their region, conducting unrestricted web scraping and surfing, or browsing dubious websites without attributing the activity to their own IP.

How to use the Microsoft Graph API for email

Security teams are using automation solutions more and more to achieve consistent and faster response times. Some of these responses require emails to be sent to various users or groups, and traditional methods of sending emails are outdated and not very secure. Security teams also need the ability to read emails from specific mailboxes, whether that is for automating responses to phishing submissions or something similar.
