The number of cyberattacks has increased five-fold after COVID-19, as the pandemic brought new opportunities to cybercriminals. At this rate, cybersecurity threats are estimated to cost the world US $6 trillion a year by 2021. Since remote working became “the new normal”, it also became a growing gateway to new forms of data theft and as a result, companies face significantly increased risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches.
Alert fatigue is a well-known phenomenon with security products – the security team gets a lot of alerts (from the SIEM, for example), it tries to triage and act upon all of them, but at some point, they are so many and so few of them are actual threats, that the security team just ignores them. And that leads to both overworked security teams and an increased risk for missing an actual threat. Why is that happening? It’s hard to tweak a system right, no matter how flexible it is.

As recent global health events have changed the world, the cybersecurity landscape has changed along with it. Almost all organizations — large or small — have seen their attack surface grow. For those unfamiliar with the term, an attack surface represents the sum total of all the ways in which a bad actor can exploit an endpoint or network to retrieve data. Every endpoint that connects to or communicates with the network is part of the network attack surface.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently announced that activity in LokiBot, a form of aggressive malware, has increased dramatically over the last two months. The activity increase was discovered by an automated intrusion detection system referred to as EINSTEIN, which the Department of Homeland Security uses for collecting and analyzing security information across numerous government agencies.
25 minutes. That’s how long it took to bring high severity security vulnerabilities to Detectify Asset Monitoring customers from the moment they were discovered. On a more technical side, our Security Researchers, led by Tom Hudson, implemented a high priority vulnerability test to detect an Arbitrary File Read in VMware vCenter, and released it into production in this record time.
