A multi-cloud governance solution can help improve data visibility, says Indrani Chandrasegaran, managing director at Accenture Security, who offers cloud security insights.
Initial access brokers continue to sell easy access to networks. Given the uptake of such access by ransomware operations over the past year, one surprise is that relatively few individuals appear to be serving as brokers, which, of course, makes them an obvious target for law enforcement authorities.
A seemingly nonstop number of ransomware-wielding attackers have been granting tell-all media interviews. One perhaps inadvertent takeaway from these interviews is the extent to which - surprise - so many criminals use lies in an attempt to compel more victims to pay a ransom.
Automation is essential to ensuring the security and success of any cloud migration, from the most basic to the most complex. This is the case made by Josh Zelonis of Palo Alto Networks and Dr. Anton Chuvakin of Chronicle Security. They discuss the value and benefits in this interview.
The Justice Department has filed seven new criminal charges against Paige Thompson, who is suspected of hacking Capital One in 2019, compromising the data of 100 million Americans, including exposing hundreds of thousands of Social Security numbers. If convicted, She now faces a possible 20-year sentence.
During the past year-plus of digital transformation, many enterprises have not just migrated to the cloud but to hybrid cloud environments. David Hill of Veeam says two security measures - data portability and protection - are often overlooked.
The code used to build copies of Babuk ransomware - to infect victims with the crypto-locking malware - has been leaked, after someone posted the software to virus-scanning service VirusTotal. Whether the leak was intentional - perhaps a rival gang seeking to burn the operation - remains unclear.
The global law enforcement "Anom" honeypot operation racked up impressive statistics for the number of criminals tricked into using the encrypted communications service. Psychology was at play: Officials say users flocked to the service after they disrupted rivals EncroChat and Sky Global.
Some 26 million passwords were exposed in a 1.2 terabyte batch of data found by NordLocker, a security company. It's workaday botnet data, but it highlights a hostile malware landscape, particularly for people still inclined to download pirated software.
Researchers believe that a malware variant that specifically targets poorly protected or misconfigured Windows containers has been uncovered for the first time, according to a report published by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42. A successful attack establishes a backdoor and persistence.
If you're a Russian cybercrime gang feeling the heat after being sanctioned by the U.S. government, why not rebrand? So goes an apparent move by Evil Corp to disguise its WastedLocker ransomware as rival gang Babuk's PayloadBin, so any ransom payers won't think they're violating U.S. sanctions.
Symphony Technology Group's acquisition of FireEye Products Business in a $1.2 billion deal will set up the private equity group to better compete with security giants such as Microsoft and Cisco, while unlocking profit potential for FireEye and the now stand-alone Mandiant Solutions, analysts say.
