How Synthetic Users Enhance Client-Side Security

Today, businesses live or die by their digital presence. Crafting the best digital experience means putting the end user first, which requires a delicate balance of technology and innovation. To achieve this balance, businesses make use of third-party code, tools, and cloud services combined with their own technology to drive down time to market. As a result, most modern web applications are a culmination of first-party and third-party technologies delivered from the cloud.

Exchange Servers Getting Hit through ProxyShell Vulnerabilities

ProxyShell is a massive new exploit campaign that is targeting vulnerable Microsoft Exchange servers. The servers are publicly available and the campaign is directly responsible for a number of breaches and subsequent ransomware attacks. There have been thousands of compromised Exchange servers to date. Ransomware is simply the byproduct of unauthorized access and privilege escalation and typically has to start with something like ProxyShell providing an attacker remote access.

XDR: Demystifying the Hottest Cybersecurity Buzzword

Extended detection and response (XDR) has transpired into a market description that, in my not so humble opinion, proves to be as troublesome as the phrases “next gen” or “machine learning” were from 2016 to 2020. I’ll quote myself from a popular blog post from my time at Gartner: Naming aside, the one thing that all InfoSec commentators agree on is that XDR is an evolution of the endpoint-centric approach pioneered by legacy security vendors.

What to do if your Computer has been Hacked? How to fix it?

It might be hard to believe that your computer can be hacked, you might have heard people saying I have been hacked and it is a serious threat.
