In the last quarter of 2019, researchers at ClearSky uncovered an attack operation that they dubbed the “Fox Kitten Campaign.” Iranian actors used this offensive to gain persistent access into the networks of dozens of companies operating in Israel and around the world across the IT, telecommunication, oil and gas, aviation, government and security sectors. These individuals were successful in their efforts because they employed a variety of attack vectors.
DevOps can break traditional application security testing processes & tools. Learn why an integrated DevSecOps approach is critical to building better code. Working in cyber security can be discouraging. Every day brings another unprotected database, another ransomware victim, a new type of fraud, or another serious vulnerability. The perfect antidote is working toward building better software, and to that end I want to tell you about a little thing called DevSecOps.
Is this Jackie Brown or is it Tripwire? The reality is, it’s both. This is a powerful scene in Jackie Brown because it illustrates what Tripwire is all about in making sure that a golden image can be maintained via secure configuration management. But how would you know if it was changed?
Modern day Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tooling enterprise security technology combine systems together for a comprehensive view of IT security.

Several weeks ago, my good friend Katie Nickels (Director of Intelligence at Red Canary extraordinaire) and I were chatting about Ransomware. She was super interested and passionate about some new uses of a ransomware variant named “Ryuk” (first detected in 2018 and named after a manga/anime character) [1]. I was, to be honest, much less interested. It turns out, as usual, Katie was right; this was a big deal (although as you will see, I’m right too… still dull stuff!).
SMS phishing, or “Smishing,” is a mobile phishing attack that targets victims via the SMS messaging channel rather than through email. A natural evolution of the phishing phenomenon, smishing attacks attempt to dupe mobile users with phony text messages containing links to legitimate looking, but fraudulent, sites. These smishing sites try to steal credentials, propagate mobile malware, or perpetrate fraud.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a compliance program established by the US government that sets a baseline for cloud products and services regarding their approach to authorization, security assessment, and continuous monitoring.
