As organizations continue to evolve their security operations maturity and the SOC increasingly focuses on detection and response, three capabilities are foundational for success – threat intelligence, integration and automation.

Software security is a big focus of the Biden administration’s recent executive order on cybersecurity. In fact, an entire section, or 25 percent, of the order is dedicated to software security requirements. In the wake of the SolarWinds cyberattack, the security of the software supply chain is clearly top of mind at the White House, and has prompted these unprecedented and detailed security requirements for any software vendor looking to do business with the federal government.

When it comes to malware attacks, one of the more common techniques is “living off the land” (LOtL). Utilizing standard tools or features that already exist in the target environment allows these attacks to blend into the environment and avoid detection. While these techniques can appear normal in isolation, they start looking suspicious when observed in the parent-child context. This is where the ProblemChild framework can help.
The Irish High Court, Ireland's data privacy watchdog, has won a legal fight over Facebook's data flows between the EU and the US. When the EU-US Privacy Shield was ruled insufficient in protecting the privacy of EU data subjects last year, many companies were left in an uncomfortable state of limbo waiting. Any organization moving data about EU residents from the EU to the US has been in the dark on whether they were still in compliance.
