How YARA rules can complement NDR for malware detection

The Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report found that system intrusion is the leading attack pattern for the third consecutive year, accounting for 36% of breaches. System intrusion largely consists of a threat actor using hacking techniques and malware to infiltrate the victim organization. Following a successful intrusion, the attacker continues on a multi-stage process: The longer an attacker remains undetected, the greater their opportunity to find a target and extract data.

From tactical moves to transformation: the ripple effect of SASE.

Wikipedia defines a ripple effect as “an initial disturbance to a system propagating outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system.” This phenomenon is highly applicable to many IT transformations such as cloud migration and move to hybrid work, but even more so to SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).

It's Typhoon Season: Attackers are deliberately evading EDR. What can you do about it?

Over the past year, several sophisticated cyber-espionage campaigns have grabbed the attention of our industry and challenged defenders and vendors alike with advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). One of the most visible campaigns is Volt Typhoon, named by the Microsoft threat intelligence team in May 2023 and attributed to Chinese state-sponsored threat actors.

How SASE Helps Address IT Burnout and Reduce Operational Risks

In today’s fast-paced business environment, IT teams are under increasing pressure to keep networks running smoothly and securely. The burden of managing a growing number of endpoints, networks, and cloud services—combined with constant threats of cyberattacks—can lead to IT burnout. Burnout affects the well-being of IT professionals and increases the likelihood of human error, such as misconfigurations, missed patches, and slow response times to incidents.

Find and Remediate PAN-OS Vulnerabilities in Seconds with Forward Enterprise

The vulnerabilities CVE-2024-0012 and CVE-2024-9474 exploit weaknesses in the PAN-OS management interface, allowing attackers to bypass authentication and escalate privileges, potentially resulting in unauthorized control over network devices. Addressing these vulnerabilities quickly and effectively is critical to maintaining security and compliance.

What is SASE and how it combines WAN and network security solutions into a single cloud model?

Currently valued at a $2 Billion market size, the adoption of Secure Access Service Edge or SASE has soared in the last couple of years and is expected to continue growing for the next 5 years. This is because of its scalability and flexible nature. In this video, our expert, Paul Girardi, explains what it exactly is and how it combines WAN and network security solutions into a single cloud model. He also talks about how it plays a vital role in remote working environments. Watch the full video to know more.

What Is an IP Address?

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique series of numbers that identifies your device on the internet or the network it’s connected to. IP is a set of rules that determines how data is formatted when sent through the internet or a local network. Therefore, an IP address allows information to be transmitted on a network and distinguishes between various devices on the internet. You will typically see an IP address as a set of four numbers ranging from 0 to 255, separated by periods.

NDR in the Era of Cloud and Hybrid Environments: Why It's Essential

With cloud infrastructures expanding across private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud models, effective security monitoring is essential. Gartner’s 2024 Hype Cycle for Workload and Network Security suggests that NDR solutions are becoming critical in these diverse environments and could reach widespread adoption within the next two to five years. This trend underscores the importance of NDR for visibility and rapid threat detection in today’s complex cloud landscapes (see Figure 1).
