In recent years, organizations have learned how crucial penetration testing is for enhancing cyber resilience. However, traditional penetration testing is insufficient in today’s dynamic threat landscape. Recent trends highlight the need for a more continuous and proactive approach to security testing, and continuous penetration testing is set to record huge growth over the next few years, both among large enterprises as well as SMEs.

Trustwave SpiderLabs has been actively monitoring the rise of Phishing-as-a-Service (PaaS) platforms, which are increasingly popular among threat actors. In our previous blog, we explored the appeal of these platforms and discussed various major phishing kits today. In this two-part blog, we'll focus on a phishing kit named ‘Rockstar 2FA’ that is linked to widespread adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing attacks.

This is one definition by the Infosec Institute but to explain it in simpler terms – Network Forensics is a process where we collect and analyze organizations’ traffic data to detect any potential cyberattack or investigate any cybercrime. You can think of network forensics analysis as putting up CCTV cameras on your network so in case of any data breach you can look at recorded data and track the root cause.

Cloud security isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential. More companies are shifting to the cloud, which makes their IT setups more intricate. In fact, 73% of experts say that using cloud tech has added a lot of complexity. This makes it even more urgent to beef up cloud security and stop data leaks. What’s the answer? – It is XDR (Extended Detection and Response). As cloud environments get trickier, XDR becomes vital to protect.

Analysis of a new phishing attack highlight just how easy it can be to spot these kinds of attacks if recipients were properly educated. Action Fraud, the U.K.’s national fraud & cyber reporting center, recently warned U.K. residents of a scam impersonating Starbucks.

If you missed it, over the summer months launched our product on the AWS Marketplace with the promise to deliver the fastest “time-to-security” in the industry for new AWS users. We’ve also officially joined the AWS Partner Network (APN) as a validated AWS partner. This means we went through the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR). We are FTR-approved* and meet the well-architected best practices enforced by AWS, not to brag. ;) Psst.

97% of enterprise leaders consider a well-executed API strategy critical in driving their organization's growth and protecting revenue streams, yet according to a recent study, 84% of security professionals reported API security incidents over the past year. In March, a GitHub breach exposed nearly 13 million API secrets that users had left in the repository over time, severely impacting customer trust and causing reputational damage.

As businesses manage their data, an effective and well-implemented data architecture is the blueprint companies need to utilize, structure, and store data to ensure it is handled safely and securely without interrupting business operations. Furthermore, businesses must consider how they can manage data while also complying with numerous regulations and auditing processes to prevent the risk of data breaches and cyber or network attacks.

In today’s fast-paced cybersecurity environment, the ability to quickly and effectively manage threat intelligence and incident response is critical. The solution? A seamless integration of human expertise with cutting-edge automation. Standardizing how intelligence and incidents are handled by merging human processes with automated workflows is necessary.

An “Evil Proxy” is a malicious proxy server used by attackers to intercept and change the communication between a client and a legitimate server. It is also known as Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS), where the attackers attempt to deceive individuals into providing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers.
