Security misconfigurations can open the door to potential cyberattacks, leading to data breaches, system compromises, and other severe consequences for organizations. In modern IT environments, including cloud infrastructure and other digital platforms, these misconfiguration vulnerabilities are becoming increasingly common and complex. Preventing and addressing security misconfigurations requires a collaborative effort across DevOps, DevSecOps, and security teams.

Before end-to-end (E2E) testing frameworks, the software development industry struggled with fragmented and inefficient testing methods. Testing was manual, labor-intensive, and prone to human error, which limited testing coverage and left many critical issues undetected until later stages of development. This manual approach relied heavily on developers and testers executing test cases by hand, leading to substantial inefficiencies and incomplete test coverage.

If you’ve been paying attention to the latest AI product releases or evaluating AI tools for your teams, you’ll probably have noticed how difficult it is to distinguish between hype and reality. Vendors are under an enormous amount of pressure to deliver AI features, and, as a result, many of these new tools feel rushed and fragile, and simply aren’t capable of solving important, real-world problems.

The Black Hat network is unlike an enterprise network. The network operations center (NOC), which Corelight helps to operate, sees traffic that would never be permissible on most enterprise networks. Still, in many ways the Black Hat network is a microcosm of many real-world environments, with similar challenges that require similar solutions.

The recent surge in phishing attacks capable of bypassing multi-factor authentication (MFA) has raised significant concerns in the cybersecurity landscape. These attacks highlight the fact that even systems protected by MFA have vulnerabilities, making it imperative for organizations to stay vigilant and not rely on a single control as a silver bullet. One such campaign, known as 0ktapus, provides a crucial case study in understanding the methods and impacts of these phishing attacks.

Data is growing at an exponential rate, with organizations expected to generate a staggering 181 zettabytes by 2025. This surge is driven by the proliferation of multimedia content, user-generated content, and IoT devices. However, 90% of this data is unstructured, making it challenging for conventional search engines to efficiently index and deliver relevant results. According to IDC, knowledge workers spend about 2.5 hours or 30% of their workday, searching and retrieving information.

Trustwave SpiderLabs has put together nine vertical threat reports over the past 12 months, but in its most recent effort, the 2024 Professional Services Threat Landscape: Trustwave Threat Intelligence Briefing and Mitigation Strategies report, our team of elite researchers delve into one of the broadest and most complicated vertical sectors yet covered.

Threat Intelligence, or just TI, is sometimes criticized for possibly being inaccurate or outdated. However, there are compelling reasons to incorporate it into your cybersecurity defense strategy. Let’s present some ways to use TI effectively as part of your security operations lifecycle.
