How Threat Hunters Can Detect Scattered Spider Attacks and Related Intrusions

Cyberattacks are becoming more advanced, and groups like Scattered Spider are leading the way with their sophisticated techniques. This group is notorious for using social engineering methods like SIM swapping, voice phishing, and SMS phishing to trick employees into giving them access to sensitive systems. By pretending to be IT administrators, they bypass traditional security defenses, moving through networks unnoticed and stealing valuable data.

Why MSPs must prioritize endpoint security

In today’s complex threat landscape, MSPs must safeguard their clients’ endpoints, including laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile devices, from cyberattacks. Prioritizing endpoint protection is essential to shield clients from the relentless evolution of malware, viruses, ransomware, and other threats.

Bedrock Slip: Sysdig TRT Discovers CloudTrail Logging Missteps

While working on Amazon Bedrock APIs and developing detection mechanisms for Sysdig customers, the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) discovered an unusual behavior in the way some of these APIs were logged in CloudTrail. Specifically, failed Bedrock API calls were logged in the same manner as successful calls, without providing any specific error codes. The lack of error information in API responses may hinder detection efforts by generating false positives in CloudTrail logs.

How to secure every stage of the CI/CD pipeline with Sysdig

Securing operations in the cloud can seem daunting. To protect your organization, you need to have the proper preventative and reactive safeguards in place at every step of the software development cycle. But it doesn’t have to be as complex as it sounds. This blog outlines how to secure the entire software development lifecycle, emphasizing the “shift left” approach, which aims to catch vulnerabilities and issues early in the development process to reduce both risks and costs.

Web Application Security for DevOps: Anti-CSRF and Cookie SameSite Options

This is a continuation of our series on web application security. If you haven't already read through parts 1 and 2, this is a good time to go back. If not, let's move on and answer the question left hanging during our last installment: what are request methods, including the POST request method, and how does logging out of a website work when it comes to cookies and session IDs? Let's also tackle the more important issue of how to combat cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

27 DDoS-For-Hire Services Disrupted In Run-Up To Holiday Season

In a co-ordinated international effort, the law enforcement agencies of 15 countries have made the holiday season a little less stressful for companies and consumers - by seizing control of some of the internet's most popular DDoS-for-hire services. Operation PowerOFF has disrupted what was anticipated to be a surge of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks over the Christmas period by taking over two dozen "booter" or "stresser" websites offline.

Telemetry: What It Is and How it Enables Security

If you have ever built a LEGO set, then you have a general idea of how telemetry works. Telemetry starts with individual data points, just like your LEGO build starts with a box of bricks. In complex IT environments, your security telemetry is spread across different technologies and monitoring tools, just like in a large build your LEGO bricks come separated into smaller, individually numbered bags. In both cases, the individual bricks or data points aren’t special.

Introducing Tanium Ask: Using AI to Get Questions Answered

How many questions does your organization need to answer about your endpoints every day, and how long does it typically take to get the answer? How often do these questions require an operator with great expertise to provide accurate answers? Do the questions feel like they are resulting in fire drills for your teams?
