Kerberoasting is a form of cyber attack that targets service accounts using the Kerberos authentication protocol. Attackers exploit the authentication protocol to extract password hashes and crack the plaintext passwords attached to the account. These attacks are prevalent because they can be difficult to notice and mitigate.

According to my research, it became clear that if CISO's focused on these three items, it would take care of 99% of the vulnerabilities. One: There are three top root hacking causes, and they comprise almost all of the cybersecurity risk most organizations face: These three most popular root hacking causes are often co-mingled together to bring about the desired effect.

The specter of cybercrime continues to grow, with losses soaring to $12.5 billion in 2023, according to the recently released Internet Crime Report by the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). The revelations underline an alarming surge in cybercrime, affecting both business and personal interests alike, with the main attack vectors being investment fraud, business email compromises and an increased surge of ransomware attacks on nearly every critical infrastructure sector.

The next 12 months have the potential to reshape the global political landscape with elections occurring in more than 80 nations, in 2024, while new technologies, such as AI, capture our imagination and pose new security challenges. Against this backdrop, the role of CISOs has never been more important. Grant Bourzikas, Cloudflare’s Chief Security Officer, shared his views on what the biggest challenges currently facing the security industry are in the Security Week opening blog.

The construction of a more cyber resilient European Union (EU) took a remarkable step forward this past week as negotiators from the European Parliament and the European Council reached a provisional agreement on the proposed Cyber Solidarity Act. Proposed last year, the Cyber Solidarity Act is composed of three key pillars that seek to crack the daunting challenge of detecting, preparing for, and responding to cybersecurity threats and incidents that shake up the security sphere.

Local governments in the United States faced a surge in cyber threats during the latter half of 2023, with over 160 cybersecurity incidents impacting the State, Local, and Education (SLED) sectors. Alarming statistics reveal that many of these incidents were ransomware attacks (45%) and data breaches (37%). As custodians of vast amounts of personal and private information, local governments are entrusted with safeguarding sensitive data against evolving cyber threats.
