Passwords to your employees’ and vendors’ accounts serve as gateways to your enterprise’s most sensitive information. Without proper password management, these accounts can fall prey to password attacks, impacting your business processes, finances, and reputation. In this article, we’ll explore the most common types of password attacks in cybersecurity and outline eight password attack prevention best practices to safeguard your organization.

Attackers are becoming more sophisticated and stealthier. Their methods are more advanced. Of these advanced methods, living-off-the-land (LOTL) attacks are the sneakiest and most effective. By using legitimate tools and processes already in your environment, malicious actors can get what they want without being seen. But with the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform and our industry leading user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), security teams can stop them.

Today, cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting data but about protecting operations, reputation, and trust. Unfortunately, many organizations continue to operate under the false assumption that their security posture is strong because they’ve checked off compliance boxes—only to be blindsided when a breach occurs.

Artifactory token leaks are not the most common, but they pose significant risks, exposing sensitive assets and enabling supply chain attacks. This article explores the dangers of leaked tokens and proposes mitigation strategies, including token scoping and implementing least privilege policies.

Let’s start with the fundamentals: What is Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)? ARP is a vital networking protocol that ensures effective communication between devices on a local-area network (LAN). Its primary function is to map IP addresses to MAC addresses, allowing devices to recognize and communicate with each other within the network. ARP bridges the gap between the logical layer (IP addresses) and the physical layer (MAC addresses).

2024 is behind us, but the cybersecurity lessons it left behind are still highly relevant. Data breaches remain a persistent threat to large enterprises and government agencies, as the data they store is prized by organizations and a prized target for cybercriminals. Attacks have economic consequences and serious reputational and legal repercussions, putting business stability at risk.

Server Message Block (SMB) is a ubiquitous protocol used for file sharing, remote access, and resource management across enterprise networks. While critical for business operations, its misconfigurations can expose vulnerabilities to attackers. In this blog post, we’ll dive into a real-world red team operation where a simple yet effective PowerShell-based tool led us from SMB enumeration to full network takeover.
