Cato XDR: Finally, A Tool Built by People Who Actually Read the Logs!

Ever feel like some tools are designed by people who’ve never had to use them? Like those public restroom hand dryers that leave your hands wetter than before, or CAPTCHAs that make you question if you even know what a bicycle looks like—it’s like a bad joke at our expense. In the 2022 Devo SOC Performance Report, questions were raised about the biggest challenges faced by security operations center (SOC) teams.

Keeping Secrets Out of Logs: Building a Robust Defence Against Log Leaks

Ever found sensitive data in your logs? You're not alone - even tech giants like Google and Facebook have faced this challenge. Watch this actionable webinar on keeping secrets out of logs featuring our special guest speaker, Allan Reyes. �������� ������'���� ����������: No theoretical fluff - just practical solutions that you can start using tomorrow. Perfect for security engineers, developers, and tech leads who want to sleep better at night knowing their logs aren't accidentally exposing sensitive data.

What Is a Watering Hole Attack? Detection and Prevention

We already know that cybercriminals exploit the weakest link in your IT networks. The best defense against these exploits comes down to safeguarding the most vulnerable entry points. But what if the weakest link in your cybersecurity defense lies beyond your IT network itself?

The Ultimate Guide to Sigma Rules

In cybersecurity as in sports, teamwork makes the dream work. In a world where security analysts can feel constantly bombarded by threat actors, banding together to share information and strategies is increasingly important. Over the last few years, security operations center (SOC) analysts started sharing open source Sigma rules to create and share detections that help them level the playing field.

Hey SDDL SDDL: Breaking Down Windows Security One ACE at a Time

Windows permission misconfigurations remain a common attack vector in enterprise environments. Attackers consistently leverage these misconfigurations for privilege escalation, with Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) emerging as a blind spot. From LockBit's manipulation of event log permissions to RomCom's exploitation of Task Scheduler vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-49039), SDDL misconfigurations have become a prime target for sophisticated attacks.

Using MITRE ATT&CK for Incident Response Playbooks

A structured approach to incident response enables you to create consistently repeatable processes. Your incident response playbook defines responsibilities and guides your security team through a list of activities to reduce uncertainty if or when an incident occurs. MITRE ATT&CK Framework outlines the tactics and techniques that threat actors use during different stages of an attack.

Adversary Tradecraft: A Deep Dive into RID Hijacking and Hidden Users

Researchers at AhnLab Security Intelligence Center (ASEC) recently published a report on the Andariel threat group, a DPRK state-sponsored APT active for over a decade, that has been leveraging RID hijacking and user account concealment techniques in its operations to stealthily maintain privileged access to compromised Windows systems.

Using Streaming Data for Cybersecurity

After a long day, you sit down on the couch to watch your favorite episode of I Love Lucy on your chosen streaming platform. You decide on the episode where Lucy can’t keep up with the chocolates on the conveyor belt at the factory where she works. Without realizing it, you’re actually watching an explanation of how the streaming platform – and your security analytics tool – work. Data streaming is the real-time processing and delivery of data.

Autonomous Adversaries: Are Blue Teams Ready for Cyberattacks To Go Agentic?

2024 was a year of incredible progression for Artificial Intelligence. As large language models (LLMs) have evolved, they have become invaluable tools for enriching the capabilities of defenders – instantly providing the knowledge, procedures, opinions, visualizations, or code any given situation demands. However, these same models provide outputs that enable even low-sophistication attackers to uplift their own skill-levels.
