Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

ThoughtLab’s newly released cybersecurity benchmark study revealed that cybersecurity is at a critical inflection point across industries.

Following our February announcement that Devo has been designated as FedRAMP “In-Process,” I’m excited to report that our public sector momentum continues in other key areas. Here are some recent highlights: All of this momentum and growth is an affirmation of the excellence of the Devo Platform and the exceptional quality of our success services to support them. And it also demonstrates Devo’s long-term commitment to serving our customers and partners in the public sector.

Threats knock on your door all the time. In this research piece, we explore BPFDoor — a backdoor payload specifically crafted for Linux in order to gain re-entry into a previously or actively compromised target environment. This payload has been observed across systems for five years, suggesting that the threat actors responsible for operating the malware have been around for some time and have likely operated undetected in many environments.

If you are an application developer or security analyst, you likely spend a lot of time thinking about your customers’ security. IT operations teams have found many ways to help secure login portals by implementing dual authentication and Single-Sign-On (SSO) portals. Many IT organizations have learned to use SSO and Two Factor Authentication (2FA) to help secure their codebase and employee data. This method is great, assuming that all users are compliant with 2FA.

Cyber ​​security threats and measures mandated by regulations require an advanced security solution for organizations. Many reasons, such as false positives, difficulty in budget control, vulnerable protocols, and misconfigurations, can be confusing when choosing the right security solution. In order to get rid of all these concerns, security information and event management (SIEM) solutions come to the fore as solid and centralized security platforms.

Today, we’re happy to announce that Elastic and Tines are partnering to help our joint users detect security threats and reduce mean time to respond. Many of the world’s best security teams rely on the power of Elastic’s high-speed, cloud-scale detection, prevention, and response capabilities to investigate and contain potential security threats within their environments.

Cybersecurity strategies within cloud environments are often seen as a complicated landscape with rapidly developing technologies, architectures, and terms. Simultaneously, there are continuously motivated individuals and groups trying to utilize vulnerabilities for illicit uses such as to increase access to the data, install malware, disrupt services, and more.

Yesterday, the Elastic Security Research Team released a detailed report outlining technical details regarding the BLISTER launcher, a sophisticated campaign that we uncovered in December 2021. This latest release continues on research we’ve developed while observing the campaign over the last few months — specifically pertaining to the technical details of how the group behind this payload is able to stay under the radar and evade detection for many new samples identified.

Many organizations need to meet various compliance standards, and investing in a security information and event management (SIEM) solution can often help them reach that goal. But it worth the cost and effort to deploy a SIEM solution solely for compliance? Or is there a way to maximize the value of your SIEM by strengthening cybersecurity as well as achieving compliance? This article will help you answer those critical questions.

Artificial intelligence has been (and continues to be) a popular topic of discussion in areas ranging from science fiction to cybersecurity. But as much fun as it might be to discuss my favorite sci-fi AI stories, let’s set aside the works of Asimov, Bradbury and other storytellers to focus on the role of AI in cybersecurity.
