Over the past year, BlueVoyant’s cyber threat analysts have identified a significant rise in third-party phishing tactics, most notably with a campaign impersonating the Zelle digital payment service. By mimicking a well-known payment site like Zelle, threat actors can evade detection more effectively while collecting credentials and personally identifiable information (PII) from online users of hundreds of financial institutions.

Organizations’ security operations (SecOps) programs are under increased pressure due to more sophisticated threats, a continually expanding attack surface, and strained internal resources.

For instance, we wanted detailed insights into Conditional Access policies from Entra ID, Intune policies, Secure Score, and more. Although Microsoft continues to enhance the native plugins by adding new skills, we opted to develop our own custom plugins.

Fraudulent cyber attacks targeting the airline industry are a common issue largely seen coming out of the underground, such as the deep and dark web.

October is rapidly approaching, and that means new cybersecurity regulations known as NIS2 are set to be enacted by European Union (EU) member states. States are required to publish their local version of the NIS2 Directive into law by the 17th of October. Whilst many countries are well on track, however, some have already acknowledged they will not meet the deadline. This delay leaves organisations somewhat in the dark as to what they will need to comply with and by when.
