What is File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) Today, most IT systems that store and process information use file-based architectures. The core operating system and applications binaries, system and application configuration data, organizational data, and logs are stored in files. These files ultimately: Determine how the operating system, its subsystems and hosted applications should operate; Track (in
There is some confusion about the differences of Red, Blue, and Purple teams within Computer Security. The purpose of a Red Team is to find ways to improve the Blue Team, so Purple Teams should not be needed in organizations where the Red Team / Blue Team interaction is functioning properly. Red Teams are external entities
Defense in red team isn’t just about finding holes but to continue the sports analogy, a good red team engagement will also provide a playbook to improve that defense in the future. Effective red teaming operations don’t end with the discovery phase. You want to work with a red team consultant that offers remediation assistance
15 Indicators of Compromise on your network. Most people don’t like to compromise; people dislike it even more when it jeopardizes our network. Below we highlight the ways you can see a compromise coming and perhaps even stop it before it becomes an incident. Unusual Outbound Network Traffic You may not be able to keep people
Containers present a golden opportunity to take bake security into development and operation processes.When it comes to enterprise application development, security is still a concern, comes just before the release is used. The rapid application of software provides a rare opportunity for security to move upstream (or in conversation, to facilitate shift left) and to
Three Ways Indicators of Compromise Help SOC Teams Threat Intelligence plays a major role in the modern Security Operations Center (SOC). This threat data can help analysts to detect security incidents earlier, take more informed actions, and implement security controls to defend against known threats. Threat Intelligence includes context about threat actors, their intentions and
Reasons why behavior based IoC enhance security Attackers are tricky Today’s attacks are increasingly fileless, meaning they don’t rely on having to write or download a file to infect the target device/system. Instead, they use the services that already exist on the device/system to perpetrate their exploit. There are no specific strings, names, addresses or
Start with the beachhead. In most situation where there is long term breach, there is a beachhead; the system attackers use to get into and maintain access to the network. This is the primary thing you want to find. Hackers generally install an implant such as a Remote Access Tool (RAT), rootkit, or backdoor on
Red team is a group of white-hat hackers that attack an organization’s digital infrastructure as an attacker would in order to test the organization’s defenses (often known as “penetration testing“). Companies including Microsoft perform regular exercises under which both red and blue teams are utilized. The use of cyber red teams provides “real-world attack simulations designed to assess and significantly improve the
Potential attack vectors that threaten containerized applications can be grouped into several types: Threats to the Build Environment The built environment should be at the top of your security checklist, especially as developers can not expect all to be security experts. Developers have an interest in building products as quickly as possible, meaning that they
