About seven months ago at Defcon, Zenity CTO Michael Bargury presented security research that discovered and outlined a way to take over Microsoft Power Automate enabling bad actors to send ransomware to connected machines by using Power Automate as it was designed. By simply taking over an endpoint, our research showed that attackers can run their own payloads and execute malware by assigning machines to a new administrative account using a basic command line.
Like all cybersecurity providers, Blumira has had to respond to the rise of remote and hybrid work models. But given Blumira’s focus on SMBs and mid-market companies, they found many businesses in their target market priced out of mature endpoint monitoring solutions—or without the technical ability and infrastructure to run the endpoint agents a larger organization might use.
With ransomware increasing and a complex, business-critical cloud migration on the horizon, BSM, one of the world’s largest shipping companies, was seeking a solution to monitor its environment for potential threats, both now and in the future.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is the repository for a wealth of knowledge dating back to the nation's founding. The information behind many of the world's greatest inventions ranging from the light bulb, iPhone, Maglev trains to the zipper are housed and protected by the USPTO. A task that is now considerably more difficult as the primary storage medium moves from paper to on-premises and into the cloud.
