The way we connect in the workplace has changed. For one, “the workplace” isn’t just limited to the office anymore, and that means instead of relying on a corporate network, employees are using the internet to get their work done. While this has been a game-changer for enabling productivity, this reliance on the internet also opens you up to a host of internet-based threats.
Today, as a part of our v27 software release, we are launching enhanced IDS rules management functionality, extending analyst visibility around hosts, devices, users, and more, and upgrading the Corelight Software Sensor to give customers more NDR deployment flexibility.
Identity isn’t a security problem — it’s the security problem. This was the takeaway from my recent meeting with a local government CISO in the Washington, D.C. area. Tasked with protecting infrastructure, including the fire and police departments, the CISO turned to CrowdStrike a year ago for endpoint and identity protection.
LimaCharlie is pleased to announce an integration with SnapAttack’s Community Edition, a new offering from SnapAttack that gives organizations access to open-source intelligence objects and behaviorally-oriented detections developed by SnapAttack’s threat research team and highly skilled community researchers together with popular community tools, such as Atomic Red Team and Sigma.
As we shared at ZeekWeek 2022 in October, we’re thrilled to announce emerging support for Zeek on Windows, thanks to an open-source contribution from Microsoft. Part of its integration of Zeek into its Defender for Endpoint security platform, this contribution provides fully-native build support for Windows platforms and opens up a range of future technical possibilities in this vast ecosystem.
As organizations increasingly face malware attacks that target macOS, detecting and preventing attacks without disruption caused by false positives and false warning messages is increasingly important. That’s why we’re proud to share that the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform once again achieved 100% detection and prevention of macOS malware with ZERO false positives in the latest AV-TEST macOS evaluation.
On Nov. 22, 2022 Microsoft announced research findings about an ongoing supply chain attack against IoT devices running Boa web servers. The Boa web server, an open-source small-footprint web server suitable for embedded applications, was discontinued in 2005, but many software development kits still use this lightweight server on IoT hardware. Since being discontinued, vulnerabilities were discovered in Boa that make every version out there exploitable.
Amazon Security Lake allows customers to build security data lakes from integrated cloud and on-premises data sources as well as from their private applications. Directing your security telemetry into a unified data lake makes it easier to manage, analyze, and route security-log and event data to third-party SIEM solutions that leverage that telemetry.
One of our core features at LimaCharlie is building an extensible platform that security teams can use to build a robust detection and response platform. One way we accomplish this is native integration with multiple types of detection engines and languages.
The Corelight Labs team prides itself on the ability to create novel Zeek and Suricata detection content that delves deep into packet streams by leveraging the full power of these tools. However this level of additional sophistication is not always required: sometimes there are straightforward approaches that only require queries over standard Zeek logs. It’s always valuable when developing detections to keep in mind that “sometimes simple does just fine.”
