Cyberattacks are becoming more advanced, and groups like Scattered Spider are leading the way with their sophisticated techniques. This group is notorious for using social engineering methods like SIM swapping, voice phishing, and SMS phishing to trick employees into giving them access to sensitive systems. By pretending to be IT administrators, they bypass traditional security defenses, moving through networks unnoticed and stealing valuable data.

In today’s complex threat landscape, MSPs must safeguard their clients’ endpoints, including laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile devices, from cyberattacks. Prioritizing endpoint protection is essential to shield clients from the relentless evolution of malware, viruses, ransomware, and other threats.

While working on Amazon Bedrock APIs and developing detection mechanisms for Sysdig customers, the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) discovered an unusual behavior in the way some of these APIs were logged in CloudTrail. Specifically, failed Bedrock API calls were logged in the same manner as successful calls, without providing any specific error codes. The lack of error information in API responses may hinder detection efforts by generating false positives in CloudTrail logs.

Securing operations in the cloud can seem daunting. To protect your organization, you need to have the proper preventative and reactive safeguards in place at every step of the software development cycle. But it doesn’t have to be as complex as it sounds. This blog outlines how to secure the entire software development lifecycle, emphasizing the “shift left” approach, which aims to catch vulnerabilities and issues early in the development process to reduce both risks and costs.

This is a continuation of our series on web application security. If you haven't already read through parts 1 and 2, this is a good time to go back. If not, let's move on and answer the question left hanging during our last installment: what are request methods, including the POST request method, and how does logging out of a website work when it comes to cookies and session IDs? Let's also tackle the more important issue of how to combat cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
