According to Microsoft’s Security Update Guide, the MSHTML component can be exploited by an attacker through a custom ActiveX control, allowing remote code execution.

What are the limits of online privacy and law enforcement? Can we clearly define them, or is this a vague and blurred area of debate? The fact is that as technology advances, the real and the virtual worlds are increasingly converging. Actions (or inactions) in the cyberspace introduce risks and threats for people, especially the most vulnerable ones, i.e. children and elders.

Today’s organizations utilize a multitude of solutions to create, share and manage their sensitive content. That business reality is exacerbated by additional cloud file storage solutions that result from acquisitions, competing employee preferences, or shadow IT initiatives.

According to a recent CNBC report, Google has seen a rise in posts flagged for racism or abuse on its message boards. This has caused the company to ask its employees to take a more active role in moderating internal message boards. That’s one way to handle content moderation.

During this National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we review how to ensure security on the road with ELD cyber security considerations. According to the U.S. census in 2019, more than 3.5 million people worked as truck drivers, driving large tractor-trailers or delivery trucks. Given that over 70% of all freight is transported using trucks, trucking is a key part of the country’s critical infrastructure. Sadly, this has not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals.

The speed at which security operations are processed and data is consumed is moving at a dazzling pace. This is why flexibility, customizability, and user-friendliness are deemed as core pillars of next-gen security solutions. And it is exactly what Cloud SOAR’s Open Integration Framework is all about.

Talk to cybersecurity experts about cybercrime on their network, and they will mention malicious activity like scans, attacks, events, and incidents. Probably at some point, they will slip into geek-speak with a vast array of confusing acronyms and jargon while explaining tactics and techniques by referencing infamous attacks, Internal protocols, and industry shorthand.

Today’s complex cyber threats leave no room for mediocrity. Security analysts must know who is attacking them, how the attacker gained access, what methods they used to infiltrate your systems, and what their next move might be. However, modern cyber threats leave no recognizable patterns in their behavior, making threat anticipation harder than ever. To boost their threat hunting capabilities, SOC teams must implement advanced technologies and strategic techniques.
