BYOD Increases Mobile Phishing Rates, and the Risks Have Never Been Higher

Stolen employee login credentials are one of the most effective ways for bad actors to infiltrate your organization’s infrastructure. Once they have the login information of one of your accounts in hand, it becomes much easier for them to bypass security measures and gain access to your sensitive data. So how do attackers get those login credentials? The answer in many cases is mobile phishing.

PyPI Packages Used to Deliver Python Remote Access Tools

As part of a project to obtain more awareness of initial attack vectors outside of the common phishing and web application exploitation, Kroll’s Cyber Threat Intelligence team has developed a tool to enable the enhanced monitoring of the Python Package Index (PyPI) to find and obtain malicious packages that are added to it.

MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND for Cloud and Containers

MITRE ATT&CK and MITRE D3FEND are both frameworks developed by the non-profit organization MITRE, but they serve different purposes. If you are new to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and would like to brush up on some of the concepts first, we created a Learn Cloud Native article to help you on your journey. If you want to go further, here’s how Falco’s Cloudtrail rules align with MITRE ATT&CK.

Social Engineering: Definition & 6 Attack Types

We all know about the attacker who leverages their technical expertise to infiltrate protected computer systems and compromise sensitive data. This type of malicious actor ends up in the news all the time. But they’re not the only ones making headlines. So too are “social engineers,” individuals who use phone calls and other media to exploit human psychology and trick people into handing over access to the organization’s sensitive information.

Three expert tips for cultivating secure software development practices

We often hear about the importance of DevSecOps — integrating security into DevOps processes. But as many security professionals know, it’s not nearly as easy as it sounds. Cultivating secure software development practices requires working alongside developers with varying opinions, priorities, and idiosyncrasies. And any process involving humans is complicated. So, how do today’s security teams overcome these challenges and make secure software development practices a reality?

sysctl configuration hardening

Sysctl is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems that allows users to view and modify kernel parameters at runtime. These parameters, also known as “tunable” or “kernel” parameters, control various aspects of the operating system’s behavior, such as network settings, memory management, file system behavior, and more. Each of these operating systems has their own implementation of sysctl, with slightly different options and syntax.

Why Your SOC Needs Automated Incident Response

Automated incident response can help security teams identify and respond to cyber threats faster. When a breach happens, delays equal costs. Today, a cyber attack happens every 39 seconds, and the global average total cost of a data breach is the highest it’s been in 17 years. In this environment, a low response time is crucial to reducing cyber risk.
