The cybersecurity threat landscape is ever-changing and evolving, with bad actors implementing increasingly sophisticated strategies to evade detection. However, many security teams struggle to adapt their detection strategies at the same pace. Supporting advanced threat detection requires organizations to invest in consistent threat research and detection engineering. Without that, they cannot develop the high-quality detections needed to target the latest threats.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global standard designed to ensure the security of cardholder information. It is crucial for any organization that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data to comply with PCI DSS to protect the integrity and confidentiality of cardholder information.
We all know how often attackers gain access to online devices to compromise security. That’s why digital defense is as important as physical defense. However, ensuring digital safety can be more challenging than physical safety. To overcome this problem, authorities combine digital forensics with incident response. But what does this mean?
From April to September 2024, Netskope Threat Labs tracked a 10-fold increase in traffic to phishing pages crafted through Webflow. The campaigns target sensitive information from different crypto wallets, including Coinbase, MetaMask, Phantom, Trezor, and Bitbuy, as well as login credentials for multiple company webmail platforms, as well as Microsoft365 login credentials.

This is the second episode of the CSI Container series, published and presented at CloudNativeSecurityCon 2024. In this episode, we focus on Kubernetes CSI, how to conduct DFIR activities on K8s and containers, and how to perform static and dynamic analysis. As we covered in the first episode, DFIR refers to the union of Digital Forensics (DF) and Incident Response (IR). We also highlighted how conducting DFIR activities in a container environment differs from the usual DFIR in a host environment.
In 2019, the Capital One breach led to the exposure of 100 million customers’ personal data due to a misconfigured WAF. The incident ultimately cost Capital One over $270 million in fines and compensation, demonstrating the serious risks inherent in cloud security and highlighting the urgent need for robust security measures. As cloud adoption accelerates, public cloud services spend is expected to jump 20.4% versus 2023, reaching $675.4 billion this year.
A recent analysis of the ransomware group Meow raises the notion that groups are evolving from using encryption as a tactic to more profitable and cost-effective methods. At the end of the day, ransomware is a business. Those behind the malware used in ransomware attacks typically seek to make money, whether that be directly from the victim organization or by way of a nation-state paying for the gang’s services.
Monitoring remote desktop protocol (RDP) connections to your infrastructure is essential for maintaining a secure IT environment and managing insider risks. Additionally, recording remote user activity on your organization’s servers and other critical endpoints is often a requirement of cybersecurity laws and regulations.
