Trustwave SpiderLabs on October 29 will launch its second deeply researched look into the threats facing the retail sector. The 2024 Trustwave Risk Radar Report: Retail Sector will cover in detail the threats facing the industry, the most prominent adversaries in the field, and the commonly used methods to attack retailers. The main report is supported by two supplementary pieces.

It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month and you know what that means. We spend every spare hour waiting for The Great Pumpkin. As many of us know, (and we’re going to stretch this analogy to the limit) Linus actively created an environment that would attract The Great Pumpkin by establishing the sincerest pumpkin patch in the neighborhood. Furthermore, he went on the offensive to attract others to his belief that The Great Pumpkin would appear on Halloween night.

Previously, Trustwave SpiderLabs covered a massive fake order spam scheme that impersonated a tech support company and propagated via Google Groups. Since then, we have observed more spam campaigns using this hybrid form of cyberattack with varying tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). Between July and September, we witnessed a 140% increase in these spam campaigns. In this blog, we will showcase the different spam techniques used in these phishing emails.

At the end of every year, the Trustwave content team asks its in-house experts what cybersecurity topics they predict will be top of mind in the coming 12 months, and inevitably the top answer is more ransomware. Instead of waiting an extra couple of months, we thought why not get ahead of the curve, pretend that ransomware will again be an issue, because it will, and proceed to the part of the story where we go through the problem and mitigation methods.

Cybersecurity teams are in a tough spot these days. They are stuck between the pace of change in technology, the shortage of security professionals, and an overabundance of security tools all demanding their attention. It's a combination that should make the all-encompassing Microsoft Security product suite a compelling idea – if you can determine a migration strategy that makes sense for your company.

In the perpetually evolving field of cybersecurity, new threats materialize daily. Attackers are on the prowl for weaknesses in infrastructure and software like a cat eyeing its helpless prey.

It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month and you know what that means. Christmas decorations have been out for a month at Home Depot. At Trustwave, it means it’s time for the next installment in our Cybersecurity Awareness Month series.

In the healthcare industry, safeguarding patient data is not just a regulatory requirement but a moral imperative.

Coupled with Trustwave’s Microsoft expertise, organizations can get the most out of their E5 investments.

The need for an iron-clad email security solution is once again making headlines. On October 3,the US Department of Justice (DoJ) reported that, working with Trustwave partner Microsoft, it had disrupted a Russian government-based scheme to steal Americans’ sensitive information, using seemingly legitimate email accounts to trick victims into revealing account credentials.

This report is the latest in a series that will delve into the deep research the Trustwave SpiderLabs Threat Intelligence team conducts daily on the major threat actor groups currently operating globally. The information gathered is part of a data repository that helps Trustwave SpiderLabs identify possible intrusions as it conducts threat hunts, vulnerability scans, and other offensive and defensive security tasks.
