How Corelight Open NDR secures cloud workloads beyond runtime security tools.

Kubernetes adoption continues to grow as enterprises increasingly rely on containerized environments to deploy and scale their application. However, the complexity of the Kubernetes environment has evolved dramatically. It ranges from single-cluster setups of workloads to multi-cluster environments spanning hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes deployments are now characterized by their scale and diversity.

Server Message Block (SMB) is a ubiquitous protocol used for file sharing, remote access, and resource management across enterprise networks. While critical for business operations, its misconfigurations can expose vulnerabilities to attackers. In this blog post, we’ll dive into a real-world red team operation where a simple yet effective PowerShell-based tool led us from SMB enumeration to full network takeover.

As enterprises continue to adopt hybrid and multi-cloud environments, the complexity of managing network security has increased significantly. Attack Surface Management (ASM) has emerged as a critical capability for identifying, monitoring, and mitigating risks across these dynamic environments. Forward Networks’ innovative digital twin technology delivers a compelling solution that addresses the challenges of effective ASM practices.

Imagine you’re a network administrator responsible for maintaining a large enterprise network. While your IPAM tools help you track IP addresses, monitor DHCP and DNS, and manage subnets, there are times when these tools alone don’t provide you with the complete picture. For instance, you might encounter connectivity issues or unexplained slowdowns that don’t seem to be tied to any specific IP address or subnet. This is where a network port scanner is essential.

As adults, we rarely question the safety of the medicine we consume. This confidence stems from knowing that these products undergo rigorous, independent testing before reaching pharmacy shelves. Security solutions, especially those critical to enterprise operations, deserve the same level of scrutiny. Before trusting a platform to safeguard our data and systems, it’s essential to verify that it can counter the sophisticated threats we face today.

There’s a new ransomware gang targeting critical infrastructure, government organizations, educational institutions, and energy sectors. Their name? Hellcat. But who exactly are they? Hellcat is a new ransomware gang that has surfaced across dark web forums in 2024. Hellcat employs a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model, offering ransomware tools and infrastructure to affiliates in exchange for a share of the profits.
