Modern cyberattacks are multifaceted, leveraging different tools and techniques and targeting multiple entry points. As noted in the CrowdStrike 2022 Global Threat Report, 62% of modern attacks do not use traditional malware and 80% of attacks use identity-based techniques, meaning that attacks target not only endpoints, but also cloud and identity layers with techniques that many legacy solutions have no visibility of or means of stopping.
At the start of 2022, CrowdStrike Intelligence and CrowdStrike Services investigated an incident in which PROPHET SPIDER exploited CVE-2021-22941 — a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability impacting Citrix ShareFile Storage Zones Controller — to compromise a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) web server. The adversary exploited the vulnerability to deploy a webshell that enabled the downloading of additional tools.
Creating and remembering strong, unique passwords can be a challenge, and resetting them when you forget can be annoying and time-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If you adopt a password manager like 1Password, you can instantly generate and safely store all your passwords in one place.
Like most of us around the world, I’ve been shocked by the current situation in Ukraine. I’m saddened by the images of families being torn apart and fleeing their homes. This brings to mind the story of my own grandmother, who had to leave her native country of Austria, with nothing more than a small bag and my infant mother in her arms.

Forescout’s Vedere Labs, in partnership with CyberMDX, have discovered a set of seven new vulnerabilities affecting PTC’s Axeda agent, which we are collectively calling Access:7. Three of the vulnerabilities were rated critical by CISA, as they could enable hackers to remotely execute malicious code and take full control of devices, access sensitive data or alter configurations in impacted devices.
Asset inventory is a significant part of a comprehensive security plan for all organizations. After all, if you do not know what assets you have, then you cannot manage them. Even a small company can amass a surprisingly large amount of assets. It is no surprise that accounting for all of these assets can be like chasing a moving target, as new and old assets must be accounted for, and conversely, decommissioned assets must also be removed.
Elastic Security discovered PHOREAL malware, which is targeting Southeast Asia financial organizations, particularly those in the Vietnamese financial sector. Given the continuous pace of malware development, it's no surprise that adversarial groups will leverage successful campaigns as the basis of developing future attacks, and the recently discovered backdoor campaign targeting Vietnamese financial services is no exception.
ISO 27001 (or ISO/IEC 27001) is the leading international standard on information security management. As part of a wider set of related ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) standards - the ISO 27000 series – it provides a well-defined framework to help any business create, implement, and maintain an effective information security management system (ISMS).
The complexity of keeping organizations, customers, and employees safe from cyber threats increases every day. Security teams are often overwhelmed with the need to manage multiple workflows across a myriad of tools. The combination of Humio and Tines helps customers build a clear picture of what's really going on within their environment and automate effective responses at speed and scale.
