Agent Tesla is a remote access trojan (RAT) written for the.NET framework that has knowingly been in operation since 2014. Threat actors behind this malware have leveraged many different methods to deliver their payload over time including macro enabled Word documents, Microsoft Office vulnerabilities, OLE objects and most recently, compiled HTML help files.
We live in a world of rapid technological advancements. Technologies such as big data, the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence have created a world full of opportunities and solutions. However, it has also opened doors to increased threats, cyberattacks and network vulnerabilities. This post will explain network security, including relevant concepts and issues, as well as best practices that can your organizations secure all your networks and surfaces.
Sometimes referred to as CKC or the cyberattack lifecycle, the cyber kill chain is a security defense model developed to identify and stop sophisticated cyberattacks before they impact an organization. Typically comprised of seven steps, a cyber kill chain model breaks down the multiple stages of a cyberattack, allowing security teams to recognize, intercept or prevent them.
Security teams need the ability to model their complex organizations by splitting data across multiple tenants while maintaining complete visibility throughout the entire infrastructure. At the same time, they must keep data segregated to maintain security and meet data residency and compliance requirements.
As available software on the market increases, so do vulnerabilities. When a company's system is weak due to vulnerabilities in the software it uses, attackers take advantage of the situation to: This, in turn, causes the company to lose customers, reputation and money. To reduce threats, network personnel and system administrators are always on the front line, constantly patching the organization's software and operating systems. But to what end?
