🌐 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 🌐 Nowadays there is a never-ending supply of news stories describing the latest cyberattacks. Although some organizations, especially those in highly regulated industries, have attained a high level of cybersecurity maturity, evolving tactics and emerging technologies make it increasingly challenging for smaller organizations to keep up. Above all else, the biggest flaw in the cybersecurity plan seems to be human error and interference. Here are just a few examples of how the threat domain is evolving in our everchanging world: • Living Off the Land (LOTL) – these attacks are fileless and utilise the technology built into an operating system to take control and extort information. By taking advantage of the tools already installed in the environment, these attacks are more discreet and harder to detect leaving organisations wide open. • Social Engineering – the best type of attack is one that involves getting the victim to expose themselves and social engineering is exactly this. Whether its by getting the victim to unknowingly grant access, send money, or disclose private information, social engineering is a threat that can be subtle and difficult to block. • Generative AI – the widespread introduction of AI has been controversial to say the least. Some praise the introduction of the tool as a lifesaver when it comes to speeding up monotonous tasks. This has been realised by hackers too! Cybercriminals can exploit the abilities of AI to understand and analyse large datasets in a fraction of a time it would manually take them. • Operational Technology (OT) – attacks on OT targets can be direct or indirect, and either way cause a lot of damage for the system, individual, and organisation. Direct attacks will inflict direct damage to an OT system, breaching it and inserting malware or code to modify/control its logic and cause a malfunction. Whereas an indirect attack can either breach IT systems to access the OT or target the OT supply chain to cause disruption. These techniques are just the tip of the hacking iceberg, with new safety procedures inspiring cybercriminals to get more creative with their methods. The best way to combat the oncoming threat is to simplify your method and ensure your process is running smoothly. In no way is this the complete solution, but by ensuring systems aren’t left completely automated, staff are fully trained on proper IT procedures, and regularly evaluating the technology environment of your systems, companies are sure to at least catch the problem before it escalates beyond repair. #cybersecurity #cyberattack #threat #technology

🚨 Critical Security Update from Nwaj Tech 🚨 Heads up, Tech Community! A new cybersecurity threat is on the horizon, involving sophisticated AI-written PowerShell scripts that are pushing malware undetected. As reported by BleepingComputer, these scripts are particularly dangerous because they can easily slip past traditional security measures due to their seemingly benign nature. 🤖🔒 🔍 Why This Matters: These AI-enhanced scripts represent a significant step forward in malware development, making it crucial for organizations to reconsider their security strategies and embrace comprehensive frameworks like Zero Trust. 🛡️ Implementing Zero Trust: Zero Trust is a security model that mandates strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network, regardless of whether they are sitting within or outside of the network perimeter. Here’s how you can start implementing Zero Trust to protect against such threats: Verify Explicitly: Always authenticate and authorize based on all available data points, including user identity, location, device health, service or workload, data classification, and anomalies. Use Least Privilege Access: Limit user access with just-in-time and just-enough-access (JIT/JEA), risk-based adaptive policies, and data protection to help secure both data and productivity. Assume Breach: Minimize blast radius for breaches and prevent lateral movement by segmenting access by network, user, devices, and app awareness. Verify all sessions as if they are a threat. 📖 For a detailed look at this emerging threat, read the full BleepingComputer article here: https://lnkd.in/eQa9S5T9 Stay vigilant and proactive in updating your cybersecurity protocols!

In our SOCtober series, Senthorus and ELCASecurity explore the clash between traditional reactive Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and the cutting-edge proactive ones. Imagine a reactive SOC as a security guard responding after alarms, versus a proactive SOC spotting threats from afar, deterring them before they strike. Traditional Reactive SOC: Reacts post-event, relying on predefined rules. Often misses new threats, leading to alert fatigue and delayed responses, detached from business needs. Proactive Next-Gen SOC: Actively scans networks, uses AI, and behavioral analysis, aligning seamlessly with business objectives. Anticipates and addresses threats in real-time, staying ahead of the curve. Why the Shift Matters: Cyber threats are now business challenges. Proactive SOCs ensure businesses not only respond but also anticipate threats, staying a step ahead.
