In an era when every aspect of our society depends on reliable critical infrastructure, the role of identity security in safeguarding these essential services has never been more pivotal. With sophisticated cyberthreats escalating, understanding the transformational potential of identity security is akin to orchestrating a symphony. Each section – strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion – must perfectly harmonize to produce a masterpiece.

The art of risk assessment has long been a crucial element of military strategy and decision-making – and it remains critical to today’s best practices in cybersecurity defense. Abraham Wald, a mathematical genius, played a pivotal role in revolutionizing the understanding of hidden risk and exposure with his innovative work on aircraft survivability. During World War II, the US air force wanted effective methods to protect aircraft against enemy fire.

In this version of the Hacker’s Playbook Threat Coverage round-up, we are highlighting attack coverage for newly discovered or analyzed threats, including those based on original research conducted by SafeBreach Labs.

Using our own proprietary External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solution, Outpost24’s Sweepatic, we have conducted an attack surface analysis on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games online infrastructure. The Paris 2024 cybersecurity team have done plenty right, but we’ve also highlighted some real-life attack surface risks that have slipped through the gaps (and do so for many organizations) including open ports, SSL misconfigurations, cookie consent violations, and domain squatting.

There’s a seemingly endless list of cybersecurity threats facing organisations today. Among these threats, typosquatting stands out as a deceptive practice used by threat actors to exploit user errors in typing website addresses. To combat this growing menace, asset discovery tools play a crucial role in identifying and mitigating the risks associated with malicious typosquatting domains.
