We just recently unveiled the industry’s first mobile endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution. This is an industry game changer as we are providing the same tools the Lookout security researchers use to hunt for novel threats to our customers to investigate cyberattacks. If you want to learn more about how we did it, I strongly encourage you to read our Chief Strategy Officer Aaron Cockerill’s blog on the announcement.
Nightfall Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is now available as a CircleCI orb. CircleCI orbs are reusable snippets of code that help automate repeated processes, speed up project setup, and make it easy to integrate with third-party tools. With the Nightfall DLP orb, you can scan for sensitive items and prevent developers from accidentally committing sensitive information. We’re excited to announce our launch with CircleCI and share what you can do with the Nightfall DLP orb.
This article contains useful tips to implement SOC 2 compliance for containers and Kubernetes. The Service Organization Controls (SOC) reports are the primary way that service organizations provide evidence of how effective their controls are for finance (SOC 1) or securing customer data (SOC 2, SOC 3). These reports are issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
In our previous article we talked about Synthetic Monitoring—a technique used to automate the testing and monitoring of resources by performing simulated user interactions and API calls. Now we're going to look at a complimentary technique called real-user monitoring which takes a more passive hands-off approach.
With recent global health events resulting in a surprise shift to an either completely remote or hybrid remote workforce for many organizations, the need to leverage mobile devices as work endpoints has grown significantly. This has created challenges for IT in maintaining both the ability to manage a wide range of devices, as well as securing them in a way that achieves corporate security objectives and governance.
When AT&T Incident Response Consultants first engage a client during a ransomware incident, the situation is often very chaotic. The client's ability to conduct business has stopped; critical services are not online, and its reputation is being damaged. Usually, this is the first time a client has suffered an outage of such magnitude. Employees may wrongly fear that a previous action is a direct cause of the incident and the resulting consequences.
You don’t have to search very far in the news to see stories of websites being hacked and customer details being stolen. Stories about incidents involving industrial control systems (ICSes) and operational technology (OT) environments aren’t so common. But they are prevalent. Just the other week, for example, an airline company sent out an email letting me know that their database had been hacked and that my travel details might have been taken.
Whether it’s a security assessment, a vulnerability scan, a red team or a pen test – What’s common? To identify issues and mitigate them from an organizational risk perspective. This article is aimed at weeding out various confusions from the readers mind. Stock up your caffeine, we are going to cover these areas under this topic.
By this time in 2020, you’re probably well past the panic of pandemic cybersecurity. The “New Normal” isn’t very new anymore and what was once perceived as short term crisis management of security is looking more like a long term solution. As we look ahead, it’s important to look at what we’ve learned from this situation, as security professionals and how we can apply that to the long road we still have ahead of us.
Kovter is a fileless malware that attempts to remain invisible and targets the Windows operating system. Kovter avoids detection as it relies on the host registry to store its configuration data, thus avoids traditional endpoint protection (anti-virus) file scanning.
