In this blog post, we’ll describe some of the detection opportunities available to cyber defenders and highlight analytics from the analytic story.

Across the thousands of cyber incidents that Kroll’s global team investigates every year, our experts are constantly on the hunt to spot established patterns of threat actor activity—and to discover new ones. In observing attack patterns, our experts discovered that threat actors like repeatability. Certain actors can be predictable not only in how they attack, but also in the tools and tactics they use once they have access.

Why Are Low-Code Platforms Becoming the New Holy Grail of Cyberattackers? Low-code/no-code platforms for enterprise are booming. With more and more critical business assets now stored and handled by these platforms, it is essential to understand that low-code often leads to a large attack surface. This article will explore low-code/no-code from an attacker’s perspective to better understand their potential weaknesses and showcase why they are becoming the new holy grail for cybercriminals.

Everyday life depends on the internet, from online banking to shopping online in this digital world. However, with the increase in the use of networking, cyber-crimes have also increased, which results in the stealing of sensitive data and the spreading of malicious software through unnatural links.
