Detecting and Preventing Reconnaissance Attacks
In 2024, every business across the world is already aware of the looming potential of a cyber attack. With billions of dollars pouring into the cyber criminal market each year, hackers have more backing to create large-scale attacks, breaching financial records, private data, and customer information. Reconnaissance attacks are the first step in many of these major breaches. By scouting out a business, collecting information about its security posture, and aiming to identify vulnerabilities, these initial attacks give hackers the data they need to launch precise, damaging attacks.
Managed WAF: A Must-Have to Stop Website Attacks
Web applications are crucial for business growth but are often targeted by cyber attackers. In 2023 alone, over 6.8 billion attacks were blocked across 1400 web applications, underscoring the growing threat. One mitigation measure to shield your business’s critical websites and applications is blocking malicious traffic with a WAF or a WAAP, as what the category is called now. Deploying Cloud WAF is just the beginning. To achieve top-notch security, a managed solution is essential.
UK PSTI Act is a milestone for IoT security and passwords
The growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is reshaping our digital landscape. From smart thermostats to industrial sensors to IP cameras to smart toilets, these devices drive efficiency through innovation. But they aren’t secure by nature. A new UK law aims to make IoT products much more secure. On April 29, the UK’s Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act became official and is now enforcing compliance across IoT assets.
Beyond Bullet Holes: Unveiling Cybersecurity's Hidden Risk Exposures
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.
The cyber threat landscape in Japan - risks, threats and mitigation guidance
In our recent research “Better Safe Than Sorry”, we reported how the number of exposed OT/ICS devices in Japan grew by 372% over the past six years. During this time, several notable cyber-attacks targeted businesses and government entities in Japan. The substantial increase in exposed OT/ICS combined with the recent cyber-attacks in Japan has prompted us to give a deeper look at the current threat landscape in the country.
Fuel for Security AI
The big idea behind Corelight has always been simple: ground truth is priceless. What really happened, both now and looking back in time. Whether it is used to detect attacks, investigate routine alerts, respond to new vulnerabilities or a full scale incident response, the constant is that ground truth makes everything in security better. We have no claim of authorship here. By contrast, we learn from the world’s most accomplished defenders through their use of Zeek® and Suricata®.
The Importance Of Call Recording Security
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the way we communicate has transformed dramatically. The ability to forge and sustain social connections globally is a remarkable advancement. However, the issue of online privacy continues to be a significant challenge for both individual users and businesses.
Going Beyond Network Detection and Response Tools
Are most network detection and response tools missing something? We think so. Network detection and response (NDR) is an incredible technology. With it, you can analyse network packets for malicious behaviour, spot insider threats, and even find connected devices you don’t own. However, if you want to implement NDR in your environment, you typically need to install proprietary hardware or run your NDR on a dedicated server.
Why Chinese-made IoT devices are growing in the US despite bans
Between 2023 and 2024, Chinese-made IoT devices in US networks grew by over 40%, as reported in our recent Forescout Research — Vedere Labs report. Why have banned Chinese-devices grown over the last year in the US and in other regions? In this video, Elisa Costante, our VP of Research, and Rik Ferguson, our VP of Security Intelligence, explore this question in detail.
