BDRSuite has taken a significant step forward with its latest beta release, focusing on expanding backup support for Proxmox cluster environments. This beta version introduces several powerful features designed to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of backup and recovery processes.

An employee at a large organization is doing research for a client and clicks on what they believe is a legitimate website. What they don’t realize is, while they’re browsing, malware in the form of a Trojan virus is swiftly downloading onto their endpoint. The Trojan jumps from the endpoint into the organization’s network, and suddenly, their cybersecurity system rings alarms as ransomware takes hold in the environment.

Attackers continue to exploit URL rewriting to hide their phishing links from email security filters, according to researchers at Abnormal Security. URL rewriting is a security technique used by many email security platforms to analyze links in emails to verify their safety before users are allowed to click on them. However, this technique can also be abused to mask the original phishing link.

Taking proactive actions regarding the security of your systems is a fundamental part of all organizations. It's impossible to predict what cyber attacks or incidents your organization may face but there are solutions and options available to you that assist in detecting threats before they can impact your organization. One of these valuable solutions is security analytics.

In February of 2024, SenseOn was contacted to assist with investigating suspicious activity on a customer’s estate. SenseOn analysts quickly identified a malware infection and identified the variant as SocGholish. This blog will showcase SenseOn’s detection and response capabilities against the malware and a breakdown of SocGholish’s techniques and that of the threat actor observed.

Docker Zombie Layers are unreferenced image layers that continue to exist for weeks in registries, even after being removed from a manifest. In this hands-on deep dive, we explore how these layers can persist in registries and why ensuring the immediate revocation of exposed secrets is critical.

Unfortunately, it will often take some kind of disaster in the business world before a government takes action to prevent it from happening again. It’s only when significant data breaches happen that states implement compliance laws to avoid mishandling data; in this case, SOX compliance has a similar backstory. In the early 2000s, the collapse of corporate giants Enron, Tyco, and WorldCom exposed flaws in corporate accountability, leading to widespread fraud and massive investor losses.

Despite significant investments in cybersecurity technologies and services, many organizations remain vulnerable. One of the myriad reasons is the lack of alignment between cybersecurity strategies and specific risks each organization faces. This is where risk-aligned cybersecurity comes into play, ensuring that defenses are tailored to the unique challenges and threats an organization faces, ultimately building greater resilience.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), sometimes referred to as “pentesting in a box”, tests running code for a variety of issues that can’t easily be found by analyzing code with static scanning tools. DAST tools are platform and language agnostic—as long as you have a website or API they can connect to, they’ll get the job done, and find real vulnerabilities in the same places an attacker would.
