Put simply, it’s the collection of various types of threat intelligence, such as IOCs, TTPs used by threat actors, and their motivations and capabilities, with the ultimate goal of understanding your system’s attack surface and proactively patching vulnerabilities.…
A proxy server is an intermediary system that sits between end users and the websites or services they access online. It provides functions like web filtering, enhanced security, and data caching to improve network performance. Proxies also help in masking user IP addresses, enabling anonymous web browsing and managing internet usage within an organization.…
tldr: In this article, we take a deeper dive into a prevalent “DLL sideloading” attack technique we’ve been observing in real-world attacks, including many of those we discovered, to understand its variations, how it works, and how we can detect it.…
This is part two in our series on building honeypots with Falco, vcluster, and other assorted open source tools. For the previous installment, see Building honeypots with vcluster and Falco: Episode I.
When Last We Left our HeroesIn the previous article, we discussed high-interaction honeypots and used vcluster to build an intentionally-vulnerable SSH server inside of its own cluster so it couldn’t hurt anything else in the environment when it got owned.…
Threat detection and response are critical components of a robust cybersecurity strategy. However, simply relying on automated detections is no longer enough to protect your organization from downtime.
To reduce the chances of business disruption from advanced and unknown threats, security teams must operationalize threat intelligence by conducting proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunts.…
