Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

It’s a familiar nightmare you’ve heard of and might even face as a developer or security engineer: alerts firing in all directions warning that your company’s VPN and firewall — that supposedly “safe” defensive perimeter around your infrastructure — has been breached. And the scariest part is that you find out after the fact — after access credentials and customer assets have been stolen.

The security operations maturity model assesses an organization’s current security capabilities to reduce its cyber risk and incident cost by lowering its time to detect and respond to threats, become more cyber resilient, and draw a plan to mature over time.

When seeking to understand the cyber threat landscape and respond to various incidents, one of the most important factors to consider is how threat actors are gaining access to networks.

Malware is not a new attack vector but, over the past few years, the Cyberint research team was observed a resurgence of this threat. In particular, a specific type of malware known as InfoStealers has become a serious risk. This blog post will drill down on InfoStealers and discuss the lifecycle of an InfoStealer attack, from beginning to end.

Last year, Keeper Security unveiled One-Time Share, a secure and convenient way for Keeper users to share credentials with anyone, including those that are not Keeper users. Since its launch, many of our customers have grown to rely on One-Time Share, including in cases where they need the ability to set time duration. As a result, we’ve made expanding the options for setting and modifying time-limited access a top priority.

Most dynamic web applications and sites — ones that store and process user information — use some sort of database implementation. One of the most common implementations involves SQL. Structured Query Language is a standard language for relational database management systems (RDBMS). It lets you query database records, change and modify them, set permissions, create custom views and storage procedures.

Zero-Day” is an intriguing concept in the domain of cybersecurity. Imagine diligently following security best practices such as patching exploits and updating the systems regularly. Plus, you’re following strict risk management and governance frameworks within the organization to vet new software applications for security risk before adding them to your library. But what happens when the security flaws are novel — and a patch does not exist?

Malicious software like ransomware often use tactics, techniques, and procedures such as copying malicious files to the local machine to propagate themselves across the network. A few years ago, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Health and Human Services issued a joint cybersecurity advisory to ward off potential harm from threat actors for at-risk entities.
