With a CVSS score of 10, Zerologon is a privilege escalation vulnerability that can be used to spoof domain controller accounts and hijack domains.

For most businesses, the corporate boundaries have expanded over time. The traditional office has now morphed into a hub-and-spoke model with an increasing number of employees working remotely. This shift to remote work isn't new. Between 2005 and 2018, there was a 173% rise in the US remote workforce. The trend spiked in 2020 when 88% of organizations worldwide encouraged remote work to flatten the pandemic's spread.

The global pandemic has fueled a rapid digital transformation — and led to permanent shifts in cybersecurity. In a recent joint webinar with Bryan McAninch, senior solutions engineer at Splunk, and guest speaker Chris Kissel from IDC, "Sp(e)lunking Security with MITRE ATT&CK® featuring IDC Research," they shared seven overarching trends in cybersecurity for 2021. One notable, but foundational, trend mentioned was the need to understand risk.

The job of IT admins and IT security analysts are, without a doubt, some of the most important jobs in any company. When things are running smoothly, it is easy for everyone to forget they exist. However, the moment things go askew, everyone points fingers at them. IT security professionals are expected to know everything. Most of them are self-taught and have learned on-the-job. Over time, experience has turned them into battle-hardened soldiers.

We are certainly in unique times, with COVID driving digital transformation at an unprecedented pace, remote work appearing to be long term, and the specter of new threats looming over security professionals as they strategized how to protect a rapidly changing business and tech landscape. To use perhaps one too many cliches: it is the best of times, it is the worst of times, the times are a changin’, and a change will do you good. No really, it will.

Security is not compliance. This is something that the security champions at Detectify can agree on and each employee practices security everyday to help keep our customers and business secure. You’ve probably never met a more engaged group about security training than us at Detectify! We are passionate about our industry and maybe even gain a few new security nerds every few months as we go.

SIEM has traditionally earned itself a bad reputation as an unwieldy and unmanageable tool that really never lived up to its promises. In my presentation during Illuminate, I talked about what Sumo Logic is doing to modernize log analytics and SIEM as a whole. Today, we see that despite how overall technology is accelerating, security always seems to lag behind. In Sumo Logic, we address this head-on.

We at Netskope Threat Labs have published a series of blogs detailing the misconfigurations in cloud apps causing data exposure. Misconfiguration and sensitive data exposure have been listed as predominant top 10 OWASP security risks for years, and are now also the predominant cause of cloud data breaches.

Access control is a security technique that regulates who or what can view, use or access a place or other resources. It is a fundamental concept in physical security and information security designed to minimize risk. At a high level, access control is about restricting access to a resource. Any access control system, whether physical or logical, has five main components: Access control can be split into two groups designed to improve physical security or cybersecurity:
