A critical part of an organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy, Attack Surface Management (ASM) helps organizations to: This article describes ASM is, including why it is needed and how it works. At the end, I’ll discuss how software solutions can automate attack surface management. (This article was written by Shanika Wickramasinghe. See more of Shanika's contributions to Splunk Learn.)

An Introduction to Agile Penetration Testing

Kroll helps development teams build agile penetration testing programs that prioritize security posture throughout the project life cycle while maintaining a rapid release cadence. When it comes to modern application delivery, speed and agility are the name of the game. Customer demands are driving rapid release cycles, pushing development teams to create new products and to update existing ones at a much more aggressive pace.

Getting Dumped: A Trust Relationship Destroyed by Lorenz

As organizations implement additional security controls and detections, threat actors adjust to bypass them. Since our initial investigation into a Lorenz ransomware intrusion that exploited a Mitel MiVoice VoIP appliance, we have observed a shift in the group’s Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).

Stories from the SOC - The case for human response actions

Mitigate Cyber Risk From Email With the Falcon LogScale and Mimecast Integration

Email is the top initial attack vector, with phishing campaigns responsible for many damaging cyber attacks, including ransomware. Being able to search Mimecast email security logs in CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale (formerly known as Humio), alongside other log sources such as endpoint, network and authentication data helps cybersecurity teams detect and respond to cyber attacks.
