Ever wondered how to keep your business safe from the ever-growing wave of cyber threats? Let’s understand what Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is and how it can be a trusted ally in protecting your business online.

On January 15th, the FSOCIETY ransomware group published on their official DLS (data leak site) that they have begun a partnership with the rising Funksec group. The FunkSec ransomware group first emerged publicly in late 2024 and rapidly gained prominence by publishing over 85 claimed victims—more than any other ransomware group in the month of December.

In an era where password breaches have become all too common, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) has emerged as a critical layer of security. MFA provides an authentication method that requires users to present multiple forms of identification before gaining access to systems, which is considered a more robust defence against cyber attacks. However, as cyber criminals evolve tactics, MFA is no longer impervious to threats, particularly phishing attacks that exploit vulnerabilities.

As the managed service provider (MSP) industry evolves, staying competitive in 2025 requires a blend of strategic planning, cutting-edge technologies, and a strong focus on data protection. With businesses more reliant on IT than ever, MSPs must not only provide innovative services but also ensure robust data protection to guarantee business continuity.

CrowdStrike recently announced FedRAMP authorization for CrowdStrike Falcon Data Protection, now available to government entities requiring Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate authorization, enabling them to secure assets through the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform in GovCloud. This advancement supports compliance efforts and adoption of Zero Trust frameworks across government environments.

In September 2024, SE Labs tested Acronis Extended Detection and Response (XDR) against targeted attacks based on APT29 and Scattered Spider. The test was done in parallel with SE Labs’ Q3 2024 comparative EDR test. Both tests were done using the same methodology and targeted attacks from APT29 and Scattered Spider, but the comparative test added DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) ransomware to the evaluation.

The Invoke-Command cmdlet in PowerShell enables IT admins to execute commands and scripts on remote machines, and even to redirect the output of those remote scripts to their own console. As a result, they can manage multiple machines from a central location.

Identity-based attacks are surging across today’s threat landscape as adversaries target identities in on-premises, cloud and SaaS applications. They aren’t breaking in — they’re logging in. Organizations must respond to these threats in real time to stop breaches, but traditional security approaches consisting of siloed tools often create visibility gaps and hinder efficiency.

PowerShell is a powerful command-line shell that supports scripting languages and provides tools for managing computer resources locally and remotely.
