Over 250,000 people in the US live off the grid, meaning they do not rely on public utilities such as electricity and water. Their aim is generally to live more independently and self-sufficiently, rely on solar or other eco-friendly technologies, and build a stronger connection with nature. However, most people who choose this lifestyle are very much reliant on the Internet.
The Kroll Artifact Parser and Extractor (KAPE) utilizes Targets and Modules to collect and parse digital evidence. Its Compound Targets and Compound Modules call upon other Targets and Modules in order to collect and parse the most important data as efficiently as possible. One of KAPE’s most widely used Compound Targets for incident response (IR) is KapeTriage.
In the age of fake news and fake emails, fake Amazon emails are becoming a major problem. If you’re not careful, these fake messages will cause some serious problems for your company’s reputation.
Software supply chain attacks are on the rise – the attacks increased by more than 600% between 2020 and 2021. On RubyGems, the official package repository for the Ruby programming language, attackers usually take advantage of the implicit trust developers have on the gems deployed on the platform and infect them with malicious code.
In a previous article, I examined Australia’s proposed Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure) Bill 2020. This information security overhaul imposes strict reporting requirements for enterprises as well as affords the Australian government unprecedented and far-reaching powers that enables them to intervene in the operation of an organisztion’s network in the event of a threat to critical infrastructure.
As the partnership between Snyk and Atlassian continues to grow, we decided to put together a best practices cheat sheet to help you make the most of our integration with Bitbucket. This will help you use Bitbucket more securely to manage and store your code, as well as continuously monitor your code and dependencies for potential vulnerabilities using Snyk. Here are the seven best practices we’ll discuss in this post: Download the cheat sheet
The idea behind the SIEM (and now XDR!) technologies was to provide a single engine at the heart of the SOC, aggregating data, enabling analytics and powering workflow automation. The SIEM would act as one place to train analysts and integrate a range of complementary technologies and processes. Given the efficiency that comes from centralization, I was surprised to hear that a growing number of defenders are actually using two SIEMs. Why is that?
CrowdStrike is introducing memory scanning into the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor for Windows to increase visibility and detect in-memory threats, adding another layer of protection against fileless threats.

Here in the United States, we often focus on the cybersecurity readiness of the federal government.
