Across the thousands of cyber incidents that Kroll’s global team investigates every year, our experts are constantly on the hunt to spot established patterns of threat actor activity—and to discover new ones. In observing attack patterns, our experts discovered that threat actors like repeatability. Certain actors can be predictable not only in how they attack, but also in the tools and tactics they use once they have access.

Why Are Low-Code Platforms Becoming the New Holy Grail of Cyberattackers? Low-code/no-code platforms for enterprise are booming. With more and more critical business assets now stored and handled by these platforms, it is essential to understand that low-code often leads to a large attack surface. This article will explore low-code/no-code from an attacker’s perspective to better understand their potential weaknesses and showcase why they are becoming the new holy grail for cybercriminals.

Everyday life depends on the internet, from online banking to shopping online in this digital world. However, with the increase in the use of networking, cyber-crimes have also increased, which results in the stealing of sensitive data and the spreading of malicious software through unnatural links. Here comes the importance of Public Key infrastructure. PKI is based on data encryption which secures online data from cyber-attacks.

Broadly speaking, an information security program is a set of activities and initiatives that support a company’s information technology while protecting the security of business data and enabling the company to accomplish its business objectives. An information security program safeguards the proprietary information of the business and its customers. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) has a more specific definition of what a security information program should entail.

Server security hardening is an essential element for preventing targeted attacks, as outlined in recent researches reported by both Gartner and the NSA. Consistent, continual IT security hardening is your enterprise’s most valuable security control.

Editor’s note: This is the latest in a series of posts we have planned over the next several weeks where we explore topics such as network monitoring in Kubernetes, using sidecars to sniff and tunnel traffic, show a real-world example of detecting malicious traffic between containers, and more!

Corporate credential theft is a targeted effort and makes FTSE 100 companies credentials particularly attractive to cybercriminals with accelerated digital transformation (BYOD and hybrid working). Once an attacker gets hold of stolen user credentials and passwords, they can sell the credentials in the cybercrime underground or use them to compromise an organization’s network, bypassing security measures and threaten the credibility and integrity of the institution.

According to Insight Partners, the AIOps platform market size is expected to grow from $2.83 billion in 2021 to $19.92 billion by 2028 at a compounded annual growth rate of 32.2%. This skyrocketing growth is fueled by the pace of the IT data deluge getting out of the human hand and the need for resource optimization. Every organization is increasingly producing more IT data, whether in a siloed or unified form.

On May 6, 2022, a critical CVE was published for RubyGems, the primary packages source for the Ruby ecosystem. This vulnerability created a window of opportunity for malicious actors to take over gems that met the following criteria: Because RubyGems provides data dumps that include a lot of information, it is unfortunately relatively simple to create an automated mining process for these criteria.
