In 2024, cyberattacks aimed at MFA flaws increased by an astounding 40%. This concerning pattern indicates a sharp rise in the complexity of cyberthreats that businesses now have to deal with. Cybercriminals are now adopting psychological strategies in addition to technical ones, such as MFA fatigue attacks, which alter human behavior to obtain unauthorized access to vital systems. This is a wake-up call, not just a number.

Migrating to the cloud is no longer just an option for businesses—it’s a strategic necessity in today’s digital landscape. The cloud offers unparalleled scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, but it also presents a unique set of cloud network security challenges. A misstep in securing your network during migration can expose sensitive data, disrupt operations, and impact compliance.

There was an average major security breach in 95% of organizations in 2023, at an average price of $4.45 million. In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, complete visibility of the network is required for businesses. As enterprises increase their digital footprints, monitoring and securing complex network infrastructures become more and more important. With the emergence of sophisticated hackers and regular ransom attacks, organizations must implement the strongest network security solutions.

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.

As the threat landscape of cybersecurity continues to evolve, enterprises now find themselves spending countless hours on identifying and mitigating potential threats while managing overwhelming amounts of data. But one persistent problem for security teams is the flood of false positives alerts that indicate possible threats but turn out to be benign. Not only do these waste valuable time and resources, but they also contribute to alert fatigue, reducing the overall threat detection ability of teams.

Active Directory is a cornerstone of IT systems, handling user authentication, permissions, and access to resources. Its importance makes it a main target for attackers trying to get unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or cause disruptions. The MITRE ATT&CK framework, a comprehensive knowledge base of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), serves as a valuable tool to identify, prevent, and respond to such threats in your AD environment.

The growing complexity of IT environments—across cloud, IoT, and hybrid settings—has ushered in new opportunities for innovation but also expanded the threat landscape for cyber vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities, now known as blind spots, serve as areas within an organization’s security posture that are ignored or poorly monitored.

Did you know that 59% of organizations have been hit by ransomware, with Active Directory (AD) often being the primary target for attackers seeking credential theft and privilege escalation? With AD being basically the heart of enterprise IT from the permissions management and granting view, these ransomware threats automatically go against it and hence protecting them is pretty much important so to keep the organization safe.

Alert fatigue is the process of burning out and losing sensitivity to security alerts caused by a deluge of security alerts. Security systems generate a constant flow of alerts in modern network environments, ranging from minor irregularities to severe threats. But not all these alerts are equal in importance, and many of them are false positive alerts or low-priority problems.
