What is the MITRE ATT&CK Framework for Cloud? | 10 TTPs You should know of

In any case, by using the MITRE ATT&CK framework to model and implement your cloud IaaS security, you will have a head start on any compliance standard since it guides your cybersecurity and risk teams to follow the best security practices. As it does for all platforms and environments, MITRE came up with an IaaS Matrix to map the specific Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) that advanced threat actors could possibly use in their attacks on Cloud environments.

How to mitigate CVE-2021-33909 Sequoia with Falco - Linux filesystem privilege escalation vulnerability

The CVE-2021-33909, named Sequoia, is a new privilege escalation vulnerability that affects Linux’s file system. It was disclosed in July, 2021, and it was introduced in 2014 on many Linux distros; among which we have Ubuntu (20.04, 20.10 and 21.04), Debian 11, Fedora 34 Workstation and some Red Hat products, too. This vulnerability is caused by an out-of-bounds write found in the Linux kernel’s seq_file in the Filesystem layer.

Linux Capabilities is item number six from our recently published cheatsheet, 10 Kubernetes Security Context settings you should understand, check it out and start securing your Kubernetes application deployments today!

OT security and implications to wider IT Environments

Poor Operational Technology (OT) security can lead to serious IT data breaches. Learn from experts at Splunk, Corelight, and ClearShark about the risks unsecured OT systems pose to IT networks, and how visibility into network traffic can enable accurate alerting to malicious behavior. You’ll learn key differences between OT and IT networks, about Corelight’s ability to understand and enhance OT protocols, and the value of Zeek wire data for both IT and OT security.

Accelerate SecOps with a Single Source of Network Truth

Network evidence is vital for defense, but collecting it can be overly complicated and result in incomplete data that is difficult to use. By transforming VPC and on-premises traffic into Zeek logs and Suricata alerts, you can accelerate threat hunting and incident response workflows in security analytics tools like Chronicle and VirusTotal.

The Next Disruptive ICS Attack: 3 Likely Sources for Major Disruptions

Faced with rows of empty gas pumps, many Americans on the East Coast may be wondering why this happened, whether it will happen again, or if there is anything we can do to avoid future catastrophe. The unpleasant truth of the matter is that this will certainly not be the last time society is disrupted due to attackers targeting critical industrial control systems (ICS). The impact of such an attack is amplified by the growing reliance on automation and antiquated protocols throughout many OT networks.

Cloud Compliance Best Practices: A Quick Overview

Cloud compliance is more important than ever, especially as businesses and organizations continue to engage in remote and digital work practices due to COVID-19. Even before the pandemic, more and more companies were migrating to the cloud. But what exactly is cloud compliance, and what are some best practices you should keep in mind if you’re shopping for a provider or looking to enhance your current computing system?

Egnyte and Splunk Integration: You Can't See if You Don't Look

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technology provides visibility across an organization's information security systems by collecting and correlating events from logs across many different sources. Security analysts use tools like a SIEM to go “threat hunting”. By correlating disparate events across systems, they can often detect Indicators of Compromise (IoC’s) that may otherwise go unnoticed on individual systems.

Mitigating Insider Threats: Plan Your Actions in Advance

For any organization, insider attacks are like a severe illness: prevention is better than the cure. Like illnesses, insiders mask their malicious actions and can harm your organization for a long time before you detect them. This harm can be in the form of a loss of data, customers, money, etc.   Planning a risk mitigation process helps to stop insider attacks at the early stages or reduce their potential damage.
