There is an exploitation method that can automatically forward emails CC’d to external addresses via an Outlook Desktop rule, even when this action is prevented on the corporate Exchange server. This can be a serious data exfiltration risk allowing post-exploitation persistence in a previously breached account. The legitimate email account owner is highly likely to be unaware of the creation of this rule.
Organizations face a growing threat from cybercriminals while struggling to find qualified security professionals who can protect their infrastructure and sensitive data. This blog will explore the concept of a Security Operations Center (SOC) and the role of SOC analysts in securing your organization. We will also discuss how your organization can leverage automation to improve SOC effectiveness and fill in the gaps when you cannot support a full staff of security professionals.
Sysdig has validated its security, monitoring, and compliance capabilities with multiple Azure-related services.

Today we’re announcing support for SPNEGO-based Kerberos and NTLM proxy authentication protocol support in Snyk CLI for Windows, with support for other operating systems coming shortly.
Remember Log4j? Arbitrary code execution bugs are more common than you think, even in memory-safe languages, like Java. Learn how to find these vulnerabilities with fuzzing. Arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities represent one of the most dangerous classes of vulnerabilities in Java applications. Incidents such as Log4Shell clearly demonstrate the impact of these security issues, even in memory-safe languages. They also show that fuzzing can be very effective in finding these vulnerabilities.
In late August, a technology provider that offers student loan account management and payment services submitted a breach notice indicating that a compromise detected on July 22 exposed 2.5 million individuals’ data, including their names, contact information, and social security numbers. At present, neither the breach notice nor subsequent reporting have provided detailed insights into the nature of the breach, noting only that it likely began in June and continued until July 22.
When it comes to building secure cloud-native applications, the baseline is choosing a secure container image. Docker defines a container as “a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies, so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another.” The problem is, they’re often a pain point for many developers.
Government agencies rely on IoT and OT devices to carry out their missions and manage everything from security cameras and personal identity verification (PIV) card readers that monitor and control access to facilities and data, to environmental controls that improve comfort, safety and efficiency. Data centers couldn’t operate around the clock without tightly controlled air conditioning, electricity and other physical infrastructure, much of which relies on IoT.
Data compliance is a crucial and essential factor in organizations that should be carefully followed for data management. Data compliance is more than maintaining relevant standards and regulations and ensuring that the data is secured. The substantial amount of data that is processed and used in organizations must be managed properly. All phases of data access, usage, modification, and storage should be governed by correct policies, protocols, and standards.
