Ransomware Defense Essentials: Why EDR and NDR Are Key

Increasingly targeted ransomware attacks, has cyber professionals on high alert securing their networks and understandably with a single attack being potentially such a massive loss (both in terms of finance, operational disruption as well as brand damage). A company that relies on its data to operate or grow should make setting in place a defense against ransomware a top priority. But we cannot take any protection measure without knowing what ransomware is all about.

The 443 Podcast - Episode 306 -Kicking EDR Out of the Kernel

This week on the podcast, we discuss Microsoft's recent Windows Endpoint Security Ecosystem Summit and what it means for the future of endpoint security on the Windows platform. After that, we cover a research post on a malware campaign using Google Sheets as a command and control channel before ending with a chat about the US federal government's push to classify cybersecurity as a national service role.

Understanding XDR, NDR, and EDR: A Comprehensive Guide to Modern Cybersecurity Solutions

However, as cyber threats become increasingly elaborate, traditional measures to secure systems are usually inadequate. So how does one bolster an organization’s security? Today, 70% of organizations are fighting a broad set of threats ranging from sophisticated malware to advanced persistent threats. The necessity of real time threat detection and response mechanisms has never been greater. XDR, NDR, and EDR serve as strong detectors against this adversary. Let’s see why they are important.

How Overreliance on EDR is Failing Healthcare Providers

Ransomware attacks have a profound impact on healthcare organizations, extending well beyond financial losses and the disrupted sleep of staff and shareholders. A University of Minnesota School of Public Health study highlighted by The HIPAA Journal reveals that these attacks can lead to higher in-hospital mortality rates for patients admitted during the incidents. Additionally, the study found that hospital volumes dropped by 17%-25% during the first week of an attack.

The 443 Podcast - Episode 303 - Leaking Every American's SSN

This week on the podcast, we cover the National Public Data breach that may have leaked every American's social security number. After that, we discuss research from TALOS on how attackers can abuse Microsoft applications on macOS to gain access to your camera and microphone. We end the episode by discussing recent research on how attackers are attempting to evade Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools.

3 Ways to Realize Full Value from Microsoft Security Product Investments

As companies look to realize the full value of Microsoft Security products, they may find a managed security service provider can play a key role in helping them maximize the value of their investment. For many companies, the Microsoft 365 E5 license makes good business sense. In addition to the Office suite of productivity applications, E5 includes expanded capabilities for Microsoft cybersecurity solutions for endpoint detection and response (EDR), identity and access management (IAM), and more.

Understanding the Key Differences Between FIM and EDR

File integrity monitoring (FIM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) are two cybersecurity solutions that are often foundational aspects of organizations’ security strategies. EDR is implemented in order to stop known and unknown threats at endpoints, often with advanced functions such as behavioral monitoring and analysis, antivirus protection, and threat response capabilities.

Streamlining Incident Response: How CrowdStrike Falcon EDR integration enhances threat detection

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, staying ahead requires more than just detection; it demands comprehensive correlation and analysis for informed decision-making. Understanding the context surrounding an alert is important to effectively mitigate risk. That's why we're thrilled to announce the integration of CrowdStrike Falcon EDR with Investigator, part of Corelight’s Open NDR Platform.

EDR - The Multi-Tool of Security Defenses

This is Part 8 in my ongoing project to cover 30 cybersecurity topics in 30 weekly blog posts. The full series can be found here. If your organization has computers, and I’m sure it does, then it's likely it has an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution installed. Since the capabilities of EDR solutions have changed over the years, it’s recommended to re-evaluate the solution’s features periodically to ensure it is up to date.

The Dark Side of EDR: Repurpose EDR as an Offensive Tool

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions have become a key component of many enterprise endpoint security strategies, resulting in a forecasted market value close to $17 billion by 2030. This is due in no small part to the increase in remote work following the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend in which employees use personal devices for work-related activities, and the constant evolution of cyber threats.
