Evolving Detection Engineering Capabilities with Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS)

May 24, 2024 By SafeBreach In SafeBreach
Threat actors are constantly updating their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). In response, security teams must also continue to evolve their ability to detect the latest threats to avoid exploitation of security gaps that can result in costly breaches. This process, called detection engineering, refers to the method of fine-tuning security technologies to better detect malicious activity.

How to Use the Terraform Destroy Command to Control Cyber Attack Damage

May 23, 2024 By Narendra Sahoo In VISTA InfoSec
In many cases, cutting something off is necessary to avoid bigger damage. This is the idea behind controlled infrastructure removal, the elimination of some parts of your cloud infrastructure to contain an attack or remove a potential attack surface. It is an important part of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) management and something organizations need to be familiar with as they secure their cloud environments and the apps they develop.

What is SQL Injection? SQLI Prevention and Mitigation

May 23, 2024 By SignMyCode In SignMyCode
SQL Injection is a kind of cyber-attack based on targeted databases by submitting malicious SQL code instead of input on web application fields. This code is created with the purpose of affecting the structure of the database query that the application interacts with the backend database, thus making it vulnerable to hackers who can breach its security, modify data or carry out malicious actions.

Email Security Must Remain a Priority in the Wake of the LabHost Takedown and BEC Operator's Conviction

May 22, 2024 By Trustwave In Trustwave
Two positive steps were taken last month to limit the damage caused by phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks when a joint action by UK and EU law enforcement agencies compromised the infrastructure of the phishing-as-a-service operation LabHost and a major BEC operator was convicted in US Federal Court. While law enforcement operations are integral to defeating cybercrime, disrupting one or two adversary groups does not minimize the threat.
