Automated Incident Response with SOAR

Cybersecurity incidents are the norm of the day. No organization has impunity. When a cybersecurity incident occurs, incident responders have to immediately respond to contain the incident and mitigate the damage. To this end, they have to execute the Incident Response Processes (IRP). Doing it manually is expensive and time-consuming and also less effective if your organization is facing too many incidents on a weekly or monthly basis.

The Importance Of Cloud-based Security For Businesses

Cloud computing is the transmission of information technology services through the internet. Cloud computing is classified as public, private, or hybrid. These services are now popular with many businesses and governments, hence the need for security measures to ensure data safety and applications in the cloud. Cloud-based security involves the technology and series of procedures implemented to protect cloud computing environments from cybersecurity threats. This form of protection is necessary for small businesses, medium-sized corporations, and large organizations. Here are some of the crucial benefits of cloud-based security.

Hiding in plain sight: HTTP request smuggling

HTTP request smuggling is increasingly exploited by hackers in the wild and in bug bounty programs. This post will explain the HTTP request smuggling attack with remediation tips. HTTP request smuggling is an attack technique that abuses how two HTTP devices send requests between each other (typically a front-end proxy or a HTTP-enabled firewall and a backend server) or chaining multiple servers together with different configurations.

Detect reverse shell with Falco and Sysdig Secure

Reverse shell is a way that attackers gain access to a victim’s system. In this article, you’ll learn how this attack works and how you can detect it using Falco, a CNCF project, as well as Sysdig Secure. Sometimes, an application vulnerability can be exploited in a way that allows an attacker to establish a reverse shell connection, which grants them interactive access to the system.

SIEM vs. IDS: What is the Difference?

The main difference between a security information and event management (SIEM) solution and an intrusion detection system (IDS) is that SIEM tools allow users to take preventive actions against cyberattacks while IDS only detects and reports events. Security information and event management (SIEM) is an approach to cybersecurity combining: Note: the acronym SIEM is pronounced "sim" with a silent e.
