Cyberattacks are becoming more advanced, and groups like Scattered Spider are leading the way with their sophisticated techniques. This group is notorious for using social engineering methods like SIM swapping, voice phishing, and SMS phishing to trick employees into giving them access to sensitive systems.

This is a continuation of our series on web application security. If you haven't already read through parts 1 and 2, this is a good time to go back. If not, let's move on and answer the question left hanging during our last installment: what are request methods, including the POST request method, and how does logging out of a website work when it comes to cookies and session IDs?

In a co-ordinated international effort, the law enforcement agencies of 15 countries have made the holiday season a little less stressful for companies and consumers - by seizing control of some of the internet's most popular DDoS-for-hire services.

If you have ever built a LEGO set, then you have a general idea of how telemetry works. Telemetry starts with individual data points, just like your LEGO build starts with a box of bricks. In complex IT environments, your security telemetry is spread across different technologies and monitoring tools, just like in a large build your LEGO bricks come separated into smaller, individually numbered bags. In both cases, the individual bricks or data points aren’t special.

How many questions does your organization need to answer about your endpoints every day, and how long does it typically take to get the answer?
