It isn’t just anti-virus blind spots that hinder cybersecurity team efforts to safeguard organizational assets from threat actors. Veteran incident management analysts will tell you many detection tools also have blind spots that can lead to incomplete investigations and incorrect conclusions.

As Slack becomes a dominant part of the infrastructure in your organization, it will become a target for attacks and at some point, it is likely to be breached (just like any other technology that we use). The impact of that breach, however, depends on how we prepare for it, by limiting its potential propagation and allowing for fast response.

In this blog, we will focus on the security and forensic aspects of Transit Gateway VPC flow logs and expand the way they can be used by organizations to respond to cloud incidents.

As an IR vendor, it is important to keep your customers up to date and prepared between breach attempts. Learn how to increase your peacetime value now.

In the past, many companies relied on backups to get back to business quickly if they were attacked. Reliable, secure backups separated from the primary environment made it much more difficult for an attacker to access and encrypt them. That long-standing process no longer deters double-extortionware actors — instead, today’s attackers not only encrypt the data but also exfiltrate it.

UserData script manipulation by threat actors is a technique that has been known in the wild for several years and has been observed being exploited by many attack groups, but monitoring and detecting malicious manipulation of user data script is not trivial with standard AWS Cloudtrail logging.

Ransomware attacks are on the rise, and it now more important then ever to be prepared. Be prepared by having an up-to-date incident response plan. Learn more.

Five years ago, the WannaCry ransomware cryptoworm targeted computers running Microsoft Windows, encrypting data at organizations around the world. The attackers demanded a ransom of just $300 worth of bitcoins within three days or the files would be permanently deleted. The cryptoworm leveraged the EternalBlue exploit, which the National Security Agency developed to attack older Windows Systems.

The Okta breach is yet another indication of what we have been seeing for the past few years in the cybersecurity industry, particularly in the incident response practice, demonstrating the increased sophistication and capabilities of various attack groups.
