Often a target for directory traversal, file packing utilities offer an excellent way to break a system. Sandboxing is a good test first but who regularly does that?
How CrowdStrike's Machine Learning Model Automation Uses the Cloud to Maximize Detection Efficacy
At CrowdStrike, we combine cloud scale with machine learning expertise to improve the efficacy of our machine learning models. One method for achieving that involves scanning massive numbers of files that we may not even have in our sample collections before we release our machine learning models. This prerelease scan allows us to maximize the efficacy of our machine learning models while minimizing negative impact of new or updated model releases.
NIST updates guidance on supply chain risk
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently updated its guidance to offer support for key practices and approaches involved in successful cyber security supply chain risk management (C-SCRM). In this blog post, we provide an overview of the update and what it means for organisations.
How to Identify Timestomping using KAPE
Timestomping is a common anti-forensic tactic that threat actors use in order to hide their tools on a victim’s file system. Detecting and analyzing timestomping can be time-consuming for examiners, but with a combination of the Kroll Artifact Parser and Extractor (KAPE), MFTECmd and Timeline Explorer, the process is expedited, allowing examiners to focus on data instead of worrying about parsing files.
What is Firewall Logging and Why is it Important?
Firewall logging is an important piece of your advanced security strategy. A firewall is a security system that helps protect your computer or network from unauthorized access. One important function of a firewall is to log information about each connection attempt, including who attempted to connect and when.

Kubernetes API Access Security Hardening.
In a Kubernetes cluster, Control Plane controls Nodes, Nodes control Pods, Pods control containers, and containers control applications. But what controls the Control Plane? Kubernetes exposes APIs that let you configure the entire Kubernetes cluster management lifecycle. Thus, securing access to the Kubernetes API is one of the most security-sensitive aspects to consider when considering Kubernetes security.
Your Ultimate Social Media Security Checklist [2022 Updated]
Social media is both a boon and a bane. While it has connected billions of people, made them more accessible, and created more possibilities for the end-users.
