B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

Security researchers have released the 2024 Incident Response Report, which paints a worrying picture of increasing cyber threats. The insights are based on data that Unit 42 collects through its daily work: The incident response and threat intelligence teams help companies assess, respond to and recover from cyberattacks. The 2024 Incident Response Report shows that threat actors are becoming more sophisticated: they are more organized, work in specialized teams for different steps of attacks, and use IT, cloud and security tools. They work more and more efficiently because they have processes and playbooks...

Machine learning in cybersecurity

For a dynamic and powerful security platform, machine learning (ML)-based tools can be an essential element. The technology can be used in a variety of tasks, such as detecting malware and network anomalies, categorizing user behavior, prioritizing vulnerabilities and threats, and also accurately predicting future attacks. Additionally, their use can help improve model risk, streamline threat classification – and even accurately predict immediate and potential attacks. In addition, ML-based automation relieves employees by minimizing manual effort. So ML has a lot…

Research team Unit 42 has released a new research report on the Medusa ransomware gang, revealing the threat actors' tactics, tools and procedures. Unit 42 noted an escalation in Medusa ransomware operations and a shift in tactics toward extortion, marked by the launch of a dedicated leak site (DLS) called Medusa Blog in early 2023. Medusa threat actors use this website to publish sensitive data of victims who are unwilling to meet their ransom demands. As part of their multi-extortion strategy, this group offers victims multiple options when their data is on…

CISOs in 2024

What do CISOs think will happen in 2024? One is Sergej Epp, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Central Europe at Palo Alto Networks. He presents his seven predictions for CISOs in 2024. In addition, the expert provides practical recommendations for action for each of these developments that companies can use to specifically protect themselves against new threats. Prediction 1: AI will challenge CISOs In the future, companies and IT departments will have difficulty defining the exact responsibilities for artificial intelligence (AI) in the company. At the same time, attackers are using Large Language Models (LLMs) and…

Connect IoT devices securely

As the number of IoT devices increases, so does the risk of attack from known and unknown threats. The 2023 IoT Security Benchmark Report shows how organizations are using advanced IoT security to protect connected devices. The number of connected IoT devices will continue to grow in the coming years, reaching an average of over 2025 devices per company by 9.000. Unfortunately, most existing IoT security solutions do not have any built-in prevention or enforcement measures. They often use legacy, signature-based detection methods that focus on known devices. Inadequate IoT security has been a factor in several spectacular security incidents in the...

Consolidation for comprehensive cloud security

Using cloud technologies to drive innovation, streamline processes, and stay competitive comes with challenges. This is especially true for maintaining a robust and consistent security structure in an increasingly complex digital environment. The rapid adoption of cloud technologies and digital transformation initiatives have prompted many organizations to seek point solutions to solve specific cloud security problems. This often leads to tool proliferation, Palo Alto Networks observes, which introduces another set of challenges that hamper the ability to manage cloud security...

B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

IPFS is a Web3 technology that decentralizes and distributes the storage of files and other data on a peer-to-peer network. Like any technology, IPFS can be misused by cybercriminals. However, since the content hosted on IPFS is decentralized and distributed, it is difficult to find and remove dangerous content from the ecosystem. What are Web3 and IPFS? IPFS is one of the technologies supporting Web3 infrastructures. Web3 – or the third iteration of the web – is a new version of the internet that uses blockchain technology and tokens to achieve decentralization in…

B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

As cloud infrastructure becomes more important, securing it has become a key issue for government agencies. Therefore, implementing cloud-native security is a key focus. Vulnerabilities in cloud systems and environments expose government agencies to similarly serious threats given the potential uses and the volume and sensitivity of data, Palo Alto Networks reports. The ongoing cloud trend makes this area of ​​risk even more serious. Several factors have driven the accelerated migration to the cloud, including significant technological advances, the impact of COVID on the delivery of...
