If you have ever built a LEGO set, then you have a general idea of how telemetry works. Telemetry starts with individual data points, just like your LEGO build starts with a box of bricks. In complex IT environments, your security telemetry is spread across different technologies and monitoring tools, just like in a large build your LEGO bricks come separated into smaller, individually numbered bags. In both cases, the individual bricks or data points aren’t special.

In a co-ordinated international effort, the law enforcement agencies of 15 countries have made the holiday season a little less stressful for companies and consumers - by seizing control of some of the internet's most popular DDoS-for-hire services. Operation PowerOFF has disrupted what was anticipated to be a surge of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks over the Christmas period by taking over two dozen "booter" or "stresser" websites offline.

On December 11, 2024, Cleo released patches addressing the zero-day vulnerability recently observed in attacks targeting Cleo Managed File Transfer (MFT) products.

Did you know that 59% of organizations have been hit by ransomware, with Active Directory (AD) often being the primary target for attackers seeking credential theft and privilege escalation? With AD being basically the heart of enterprise IT from the permissions management and granting view, these ransomware threats automatically go against it and hence protecting them is pretty much important so to keep the organization safe.

Digital expansion, remote work, and the proliferation of connected devices have extended the attack surface, making organizations attractive targets for cybercriminals. Although many businesses believe they are too small to be attacked, hackers often use them as a testing ground to hone their techniques before taking aim at larger, more lucrative targets.

How many questions does your organization need to answer about your endpoints every day, and how long does it typically take to get the answer? How often do these questions require an operator with great expertise to provide accurate answers? Do the questions feel like they are resulting in fire drills for your teams?

A remote workforce is a uniquely powerful thing. It allows an organization to recruit and retain the best talent for the job regardless of their ability to report to an office suite every morning. Yet, as a certain comic book uncle once informed his young nephew, with great power comes great responsibility.
