The Human Factor: Don't Let Your Identity Become App-Rehended

*Catch Lookout's On-Demand Session from Black Hat 2025!* Your digital identity is the crown jewel, and adversaries are bypassing traditional network and EDR defenses by weaponizing the human element. The modern kill chain has evolved, exploiting our most ubiquitous and often least-secured endpoints: mobile devices. This isn't theoretical; it's the operational reality for sophisticated threat actors.

Why Your Remote Workforce Needs EDR: Beyond VPNs and Firewalls [2025 Guide]

Companies now need EDR to protect their remote workforce because old security measures just don’t cut it anymore. Remote devices face 59% more malware attacks than office computers. VPNs and firewalls aren’t enough to protect our remote teams anymore. Home networks lack security, people use their personal devices, and security practices vary widely. These issues create weak spots that basic endpoint protection tools don’t deal very well with.

What to Look for in a Modern EDR Solution: 6 Critical Capabilities

The threat landscape now includes fileless attacks, zero-day exploits, and sophisticated lateral movements that evade signature based defenses. Basic antivirus or simple endpoint agents leave gaps that adversaries exploit. When today’s attackers bypass static defenses or hide in legitimate processes, security teams struggle with delayed alerts, false positives, and lengthy investigations. That fumbling window can lead to data loss, system encryption, or persistent footholds.

Advanced attacks: EDR alone is not sufficient

Your best defense against advanced attacks is your network. SOC teams need comprehensive network data to defend against attacks. Corelight combines industry-leading Zeek network metadata, multi-layered detections, packet capture (PCAP), and file analysis (YARA) for the best approach to network-driven defense. Disrupt attacks, address gaps within your security stack, and reduce risk to your organization with Corelight's NDR solution.

CrowdStrike Falcon Wins AV-Comparatives Awards for EDR Detection and Mac Security

AV-Comparatives, an independent cybersecurity software testing organization, has released the results of two key evaluations of enterprise security solutions. The CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform achieved the EDR Detection Certification in AV-Comparatives’ inaugural 2025 EDR Detection Validation Test and the AV-Comparatives 2025 Mac Approved Security Award. This independent validation confirms the Falcon platform’s ability to stop breaches across the modern enterprise.

How EDR evasion is changing threat detection

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) have become integral to modern SecOps architecture and threat detection capabilities. However, the urgency of the situation is clear—attackers are deploying increasingly sophisticated techniques to bypass threat detection centered on these systems.

Edge exploits, EDR blind spots, 51-second breakouts

For every advancement in defense, attackers supply the equal and opposite adaptation. In the last few years EDRs have become so effective that adversaries have radically shifted gears. That shift shows up unmistakably in three heavyweight reports—Verizon’s DBIR, Mandiant’s M-Trends, and CrowdStrike’s Global Threat Report. Here’s how I’m stitching their data together.

How to Start a Career as a Cybersecurity Analyst Without Experience

The demand for cybersecurity analysts has skyrocketed in recent years, driven by the increasing need for organizations to protect sensitive data and prevent cyber threats. Many aspiring professionals wonder how to become a cyber security analyst when they don't have prior experience in the field. The good news is that while cybersecurity can seem like a complex and intimidating career path, there are clear, achievable steps you can take to break into the industry - even if you're starting from scratch.
