As technology continues to evolve rapidly, so do the techniques used by adversaries. This may be considered a given, but it is important to appreciate how attackers may leverage existing and commonly used applications within an environment to attempt to seize control and achieve their objectives.

Extended detection and response (XDR) solutions deliver powerful capabilities to help security teams fight adversaries by increasing visibility, simplifying operations and accelerating identification and remediation across the security stack. XDR platforms gather and aggregate security data from a variety of sources to help detect and contain advanced attacks. But when it comes to efficiently analyzing threat data and quickly identifying the root cause of an incident, not all XDR solutions are alike.

The UK’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development office (FCDO) was the target of a “serious cyber security incident”, it has emerged. The BBC understands unidentified hackers got inside the FCDO systems but were detected. This is just the latest in a spate of attacks on government departments in what seems to be an attempt to gain access to sensitive information.

As healthcare organizations digitally transform themselves to better serve a post-pandemic world, the prevailing goal in the past year has been for them to safely extend health services beyond clinical walls. Be it to power everything from pop-up clinics to telemedicine, this is driving the healthcare technology stack out to the edge.

Many businesses are starting to investigate proactive vs reactive cybersecurity methods. Reactive cybersecurity strategies have been effective in the past when dealing with incidents and remain relatively effective where known threats are concerned. The problem is that cyber criminals are now aware that businesses are already prepared for known threats and are actively improving and evolving their cyber-attack methods to evade detection.

In this blog, we outline what vishing is, the key signs of an attack to look out for and how to defend your organisation.

There are tens of thousands of clandestine pages and forums on the dark web that are not indexed by search engines, so they remain hidden unless the user knows the address in advance. This includes discussion forums where techniques or tools are shared with which cyberattacks can then be launched, but these sites also serve as a black market for buying and selling illicitly obtained data.

With challenging cybersecurity requirements on the horizon for automotive companies in 2022, security teams can look to BSIMM12 for guidance. For security teams in the automotive industry, 2021 was an extremely busy year. Cybersecurity became a requirement for market access and compliance, so the entire industry faced a challenging timetable. The security groups in automotive companies are experiencing “forced growth” brought about by rigorous cybersecurity compliance requirements.

As organizations deploy more and more cloud native workloads, the ability to protect them in a secure and cost-effective manner is becoming increasingly important. Data access is also more widely spread, making it even more critical to meet this protection need with a secure, logically air-gapped copy of that data.
