Detection as Code: How To Embed Threat Detection into Code

Like many concepts at the intersection of software engineering and cybersecurity, threat detection has emerged as a recent candidate to adopt the ‘as-code’ discipline to detection. This is driven by two key factors: Detection as Code is a new paradigm that brings a structured, systematic and flexible methodology for threat detection inspired by the as-code best practice of software engineering, commonly adopted in DevOps and Agile software development frameworks.

Baseline Hunting with the PEAK Framework

Baselines are an essential part of effective cybersecurity. They provide a snapshot of normal activity within your network, which enables you to easily identify abnormal or suspicious behavior. Baseline hunting is a proactive approach to threat detection that involves setting up a baseline of normal activity, monitoring that baseline for deviations, and investigating any suspicious activity.

How To Prevent Internet of Things (IoT) Attacks

Smart devices are amazing, and they make our lives easier. Smart light bulbs for your home allow you to change the color and schedule lights to turn on and off based on your activities. Internet-connected cameras allow us to monitor our homes with phone apps. Unfortunately, even a device as simple as a light bulb connected to your WiFi can be a gateway for cybercriminals to launch an attack. It happens, and it can happen to you.

Phishing Campaigns Are Now Targeting the Hospitality and Tourism Ponds

A phishing campaign is targeting the tourism and hospitality industries, according to researchers at Votiro. “In this instance, the hacker booked a room at an international hotel and submitted a request for the hotel to get in touch with them immediately via WhatsApp about an urgent issue,” the researchers write. “Once the hotel employee engaged the customer over WhatsApp, the hacker responded with their request.

Build and secure multi-cluster CockroachDB using the Calico clustermesh: A step-by-step guide

With the rapid adoption of Kubernetes in organizations and the push to standardize the orchestration of resources with this approach, databases are now also being deployed into Kubernetes. Historically, persistent workloads like databases were not recommended for their deployment into Kuberntes as it was complex to manage how data would be stored. This was a result of Kubertnes originally being designed for non persistent microservice architectures.

Cyberattack Spotlight: The Zero-Day Exploit

A zero-day attack takes advantage of a weakness in a target’s network, software, or infrastructure—without the target even knowing. These type of cyber attacks can be devastating because the attack will continue unimpeded until it’s eventually spotted (that’s if it’s spotted at all). This article shines a spotlight on the danger. We define the features of zero-day incidents and consider some famous case studies.

Advanced Medical Management Suffered a Data Breach Impacted Nearly 320K People

Advanced Medical Management is a technical and healthcare management service that offers administrative and technical support to healthcare companies. The provider works with large-scale companies and their data in the process. It was alarming to learn the company suffered from a recent data breach, making its information available to individuals that shouldn't have it.

AI is the Future of Cybersecurity. Here Are 5 Reasons Why.

While Gen AI tools are useful conduits for creativity, security teams know that they’re not without risk. At worst, employees will leak sensitive company data in prompts to chatbots like ChatGPT. At best, attack surfaces will expand, requiring more security resources in a time when businesses are already looking to consolidate. How are security teams planning to tackle the daunting workload? According to a recent Morgan Stanley report, top CIOs and CISOs are also turning to AI.
