In the era of the digital world, implementing software security measures is not only crucial but also a time-consuming and expensive process. More often, these security measures are implemented by humans prone to making mistakes. These mistakes cause security breaches in the software, ultimately causing nasty consequences to the company’s revenue. As per a report published in 2024, 68% of data breaches were caused by human errors.

A Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack occurs when a cybercriminal secretly intercepts and manipulates communications between two parties who believe they are interacting directly. It is currently one of the most deceptive and dangerous cyber threats. Such attacks often lead to data theft, unauthorized access and compromised privacy, to name a few consequences.

Imagine yourself entering your office building and, as you open the door, someone appears right behind you, behaving as if they belong there. Without a doubt, you let them in because you believe they are an employee. What if, however, that individual is a malevolent intruder? This is the fundamental idea behind a tailgating attack, a social engineering technique in which an unauthorized person uses human decency and trust to enter a restricted location.

As cyberattacks become more complex, network detection and response solutions have become essential for modern organizations. These are more than firewalls and antivirus software; instead, they make use of advanced analytics, machine learning, and behavioral modeling to detect and neutralize threats in real time.

Passwords to your employees’ and vendors’ accounts serve as gateways to your enterprise’s most sensitive information. Without proper password management, these accounts can fall prey to password attacks, impacting your business processes, finances, and reputation. In this article, we’ll explore the most common types of password attacks in cybersecurity and outline eight password attack prevention best practices to safeguard your organization.

Attackers are becoming more sophisticated and stealthier. Their methods are more advanced. Of these advanced methods, living-off-the-land (LOTL) attacks are the sneakiest and most effective. By using legitimate tools and processes already in your environment, malicious actors can get what they want without being seen. But with the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform and our industry leading user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), security teams can stop them.
