Web Application Firewalls (WAFs): A false sense of security?

Web application firewalls (WAF) is a protection mechanism to help block potential malicious requests before they can reach the application itself. Often this is implemented as a proxy, intercepting HTTP requests, analyzing them, and finally deciding on an action. While effective, over relying on it could lead to a false sense of security that allows attackers to exploit unresolved internal issues.

Create a Reusable Function to Validate Configuration Settings Across Device Types

In a typical enterprise environment, NTP server configurations may differ not just between vendors, but even across OS variants within the same vendor. Ensuring that these configurations are correct and standardized is critical for time synchronization, which underpins security, logging, and automation.

Unmanaged Doesn't Have to Mean Unprotected

Today’s enterprises are more fluid than ever. Employees work from personal devices, contractors join from unmanaged devices, and IT teams are expected to secure it all—without adding complexity or degrading performance. But most secure access tools were never built for this reality. The Cato Browser Extension offers a better way forward. It brings zero-trust access to unmanaged devices, BYOD, or third-party systems without installing endpoint software.

Tackling the Modern WAF Challenge: Why Managed WAAP Is the Key to Effective Application Security

Organizations today face a continuous struggle to secure their web applications against threats that constantly evolve in the fast-paced digital landscape. The Web Application Firewall (WAF) serves as a primary line of defense against these threats; however, its management challenges often outweigh its security benefits, resulting in organizations not realizing the full value of their security investment.

Detecting EDR Evasion with Corelight Open NDR

This video walks through how Corelight Open NDR helps security teams detect EDR evasion by delivering complete visibility across all network assets. Using a real-world scenario, the video demonstrates how anomaly detection uncovers suspicious activity, mapping events directly to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. The investigation process highlights the detection of an anomalous user agent, which ultimately reveals a Linux privilege escalation toolkit.

Hunting GTPDOOR: The case of the "Black Hat Positive"

Ben Reardon, Lead Researcher Corelight Labs / NOC crew I'm a researcher on the Labs team at Corelight and, for me, working in the Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC) at the USA show in Las Vegas is up there as one of the most interesting and intense activities on the calendar.
