Cyber forensics refers to the practice of extracting information, analyzing the data and gaining intelligence into activities that involve the use of technology as a structured chain of evidence that can be presented in the court of law. In this article, I’ll look at the basics of cyber forensics: what it’s for, phases in a forensic procedure, challenges and how it goes far beyond auditing.

Every day, thousands of companies download updates to their software. With a click of a button, they can walk away and return the next morning with everything reorganized and in order. While a staple of modern life, this action is no longer completely harmless. It is now one of many attacks that bad actors use to access systems and execute supply chain attacks.

Behavior Analytics (BA) is a widely used technique that helps you gain insights into various behavioral patterns to make data-driven decisions. This article describes behavior analytics, particularly how it is used in cybersecurity, and the actions it involves. We’ll also provide describe popular BA tools and discuss their key benefits.

The ongoing geo-political crisis in Eastern Europe continues to be the scenario of deployment of a variety of payloads linked to information stealing and data/network destruction. The deployment of these payloads has been associated or contingent with Military actions as Microsoft and ESET have observed in some of their publications. These campaigns have targeted critical infrastructure affecting civilian populations in addition to military targets.

As digital transformation expands the threat landscape, compliance mandates adapt to meet new challenges. In 2020, the European Commission announced its decision to accelerate its revision of the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2). When carrying out its impact assessment, the Commission realized that it needed to update the NIS Directive in response to new risks.

After having accelerated cloud and digital transformations during the pandemic, manufacturers might be forgiven for wanting to take a pit stop. But there is no time to slow down and rest on their laurels. On top of inflation, energy price shocks and economic uncertainty the technology landscape is shifting, faster than ever before — and so are the new kids on the block such as massive cyberattacks and sustainability imperatives.

Armed with innovative techniques, cyber attackers today come from various organized cybercrime groups, foreign intelligence services and other competitor organizations. With more sophisticated attacking techniques developed daily by such attackers, organizations must know their purpose and behaviors in advance — and devise strategies to avoid them. Cyber counterintelligence is an effective way to improve your cybersecurity posture.

Freshen up how you build security into the software pipeline. In this article, we’re looking at the seven core principles of DevSecOps: Let’s get started.
