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. By pretending to be IT administrators, they bypass traditional security defenses, moving through networks unnoticed and stealing valuable data.

While working on Amazon Bedrock APIs and developing detection mechanisms for Sysdig customers, the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) discovered an unusual behavior in the way some of these APIs were logged in CloudTrail. Specifically, failed Bedrock API calls were logged in the same manner as successful calls, without providing any specific error codes. The lack of error information in API responses may hinder detection efforts by generating false positives in CloudTrail logs.

In today’s digital age, achieving cyber resilience is no longer an option—it has become a necessity. Yet, according to the latest report by Splunk, conducted in collaboration with Foundry, a significant cyber confidence gap exists among public sector organizations in this critical area.

Cyberattackers are exploring stealthier and more sophisticated methods to infiltrate cloud environments. From exploiting misconfigurations to leveraging stolen credentials, adversaries are skilled at evading detection. Cloud logs are invaluable in helping organizations identify potential threats before they can cause damage.

In life, you get a lot of different alerts. Your bank may send emails or texts about normal account activities, like privacy notices, product updates, or account statements. It also sends alerts when someone fraudulently makes a purchase with your credit card. You can ignore most of the normal messages, but you need to pay attention to the fraud alerts. Security is the same way.

Managing a SOC is no easy task. SOC managers must balance the demands of process development and team management while simultaneously staying ahead of threats. Each of these challenges can hinder operational efficiency and an organization’s security if not addressed strategically. Here are some of the most common challenges faced by SOC managers, plus practical solutions to overcome them and lead a high-performing SOC.

As organizations face the imminent threat of an IT service outage or cyberattack, they often fail to step back and understand how well they've planned to deal with the crisis. According to recent research, we know that: Perhaps the most regrettable part of it all? Almost half (45%) of these organizations already acknowledge the inadequacy of their disaster recovery capabilities.

In the realm of cybersecurity, understanding how unauthorized access can compromise sensitive systems is critical—this is where the concept of privilege escalation comes into play. In this article, we will look at what privilege escalation is, how it exploits vulnerabilities and best practices for protecting your organization against privilege escalation.

Illicit streaming devices have become an unnoticed yet significant threat in many households and corporate environments. These devices, often advertised with wild promises of free access to premium content, have a dark side that many users might not be aware of. They operate much like the “black boxes” of the 1990s, offering access to pay-per-view events and premium channels at suspiciously low costs.
