In the previous article, we discussed high-interaction honeypots and used vcluster to build an intentionally-vulnerable SSH server inside of its own cluster so it couldn’t hurt anything else in the environment when it got owned. Then, we installed Falco on the host and proceeded to attack the SSH server, watching the Falco logs to see the appropriate rule trigger when we read /etc/shadow.

Today’s workforce is more distributed than ever. Globally, 16% of companies are fully remote, while 40% have a hybrid arrangement. As workforces become increasingly distributed, security leaders face many challenges. They must monitor potential malicious activity across a wide array of devices scattered throughout the entire network. With the rise of endpoint monitoring tools, it has become easier to monitor devices. But challenges remain.

User rights permissions regulate access to computer and domain resources, with the ability to override permissions set on specific objects. Managed in Group Policy, each user right has a constant name as well as a Group Policy name associated with it. The constant names are used when referring to the user right in log events. In this section, they’re referred to as user rights, but they’re commonly known as privileges.

There’s one question our Security team hears more than any other: Is my 1Password data vulnerable if my device is compromised or infected with malware?

When it comes to data management and disaster recovery, organizations continually seek innovative solutions to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and bolster resilience. While the standard out of the box tools work for most organizations, some need expanded control and capabilities. In these cases, centralized management is a logical solution that provides administrators with the ability to orchestrate complex IT environments from a single, unified interface.

Today, in the heart of London, I caught sight of a screen on platform four at Vauxhall train station. On it was displayed a busy illustration of the marvels of modern transportation: trains moving seamlessly across multiple lines; their positions, destinations, and tracks all displaying tightly orchestrated precision in real-time. It was a compelling depiction of the complexity of a public rail system on a small island–a tightly woven network where data integrity is paramount.

Backup and recovery solutions, anti-malware tools, data encryption tools, and network security tools—how much protection is really enough to prevent endpoint data loss? In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know about endpoint data loss prevention, including the types of DLP, specific activities you can monitor, how endpoint DLP software can help, and more.

What is there to know about a person? Certainly, their name, but how about their affiliations, philosophical beliefs, or sexual orientation? The nuanced information about a person—including those elements listed above and more—falls into a data category called “personal information” or “personally identifying information” (PII).

In light of the SEC's cybersecurity disclosure regulations in the US and NIS2 in Europe, corporate executives and institutional investors are facing a pressing need to align their expectations and improve understanding around cybersecurity risk management. The evolving threat landscape and regulatory environment highlight the importance of cohesive strategies to measure, prioritize, mitigate, and communicate cyber risks effectively.

AI has long since been an intriguing topic for every tech-savvy person, and the concept of AI chatbots is not entirely new. In 2023, AI chatbots will be all the world can talk about, especially after the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI. Still, there was a past when AI chatbots, specifically Bing’s AI chatbot, Sydney, managed to wreak havoc over the internet and had to be forcefully shut down.
