Over recent months, the CrowdStrike Falcon OverWatch™ team has tracked an ongoing, widespread intrusion campaign leveraging bundled.msi installers to trick victims into downloading malicious payloads alongside legitimate software. These payloads and scripts were used to perform reconnaissance and ultimately download and execute NIGHT SPIDER’s Zloader trojan, as detailed in CrowdStrike Falcon X™ Premium reporting.
Machine learning (ML) detections are a powerful tool for detecting emerging threats when we don’t yet know what we’re looking for. The power of anomaly detection is the ability to detect and provide early warning on new threat activity for which rules, indicators, or signatures are not yet available.
Cyber attacks are an ever–present threat and hackers continue to develop more sophisticated ways to gain access to business data. Organisations host a vast amount of sensitive information online that can be exploited by cybercriminals if left unprotected. With the way business is conducted, including an increase in remote workers and migration to the cloud, businesses need to implement strong security controls to bolster their cyber posture and secure their data.
Brilliant business ideas are driven by brilliant entrepreneurs. Enter Feroot’s own Ivan Tsarynny, CEO and Vitaly Lim, CTO, whose vision to improve client-side or “front-end” security for businesses around the globe resulted in the closing of $11 million in seed funding led by True Ventures. Feroot will use the funds to meet growing demand for client-side security solutions by accelerating product development and go-to-market initiatives.
Struggling with the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape often means feeling one step behind cybercriminals. Interconnected cloud ecosystems expand your digital footprint, increasing the attack surface. More users, data, and devices connected to your networks mean more monitoring for cyber attacks. Detecting suspicious activity before or during the forensic investigation is how centralized log management supports cybersecurity.
With our mundane lives becoming more and more integrated with technology daily, it is important to impart awareness of the subject matter, as well. Technology and mainly the internet has changed the landscape of even our imagination, to say the least, and while it is still embarked on curving the bits and nooks of the world, some tweaks need to be paid attention to, also.
The past few years have emphasized just how important cybersecurity is. As cybercrime reached record heights and more companies went digital, industries realized their current security efforts fell short. Healthcare is a prime example. The medical sector has had the second highest number of data breaches of any industry for more than five years. This became increasingly noticeable in 2019 alone, when the industry experienced 525 data breaches, up from 369 the year before.
