Incredibly, the seemingly simple task of managing corporate-owned devices is still a struggle for most organizations in 2023. Maybe best MDM for Mac doesn't work with Windows, or the best MDM for Windows doesn't work with Mac. Maybe neither have Linux support. Perhaps they don't provide enough insight into the endpoint, or control over it. Whatever the case, security leaders never seem satisfied with their MDM solution and are always investigating new ones. Now, Kolide has stepped in with a unique approach to device management, combining the flexibility and industry support for OSQuery and built to integrate with IdP giant Okta. We discuss Kolide's entrance into the device management space and the current state of MDM - what's wrong with it, and how does Kolide propose to fix it?

Record funding levels over the last two weeks top 2023 and the same time last year. We discuss Palo Alto's plans for the future, CISA's analysis of the LAPSUS$ hacking group, and the uselessness of Quantum Security pitches. Chrome adds the ability to alert users about malicious extensions. A great post from Thinkst has us talking about why vendors (and buyers) need to be careful about default behaviors and documentation.
You won't want to miss the excellent squirrel story - a front end for Reddit that looks like Microsoft Outlook.
During this segment, Jon will explore today’s ransomware economy players from IABS to RaaS affiliates, to money launders and now C2Ps. For the discussion, Jon will leverage Halcyon’s latest research, which demonstrates a new technique to uncover how C2Ps, like Cloudzy, are used to identify upcoming ransomware campaigns and other advanced attacks. The research revealed that Cloudzy, knowingly or not, provided services to attackers while assuming a legitimate business profile. Threat actors that leveraged Cloudzy include APT groups tied to the Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, Russian, Indian, Pakistani, and Vietnamese governments; a sanctioned Israeli spyware vendor whose tools are known to target civilians; several criminal syndicates and ransomware affiliates whose campaigns have spurred international headlines.

In this Black Hat 2023 interview, CRA’s Bill Brenner and Sophos’ John Shier discuss the company’s latest research on the Royal ransomware gang. Though Royal is a notoriously closed off group that doesn’t openly solicit affiliates from underground forums, granular similarities in the forensics of the attacks suggest all three groups are sharing either affiliates or highly specific technical details of their activities.

With Active Directory (AD) exploited in 9 out of 10 cyberattacks, delaying AD modernization—especially after a merger or acquisition—can compound security risks. Security is the most compelling reason to migrate to a pristine AD forest or perform an AD forest or domain consolidation, but many organizations delay such projects due to the effort and planning they require. Security Weekly talks with Semperis CEO Mickey Bresman about the keys to a smooth and secure AD modernization strategy.

Security organizations are increasingly adopting data lakes and cloud services as additions or alternatives to traditional SIEMs, but face challenges like scarcity of data engineering expertise and high data ingestion and cloud compute costs. To overcome these, a new security data stack is emerging, guided by models like SecDataOps and supported by solutions like Tenzir, purpose-built for security data use cases. In this segment, we will be talking about what is driving the heavy use of data in security operations, why that is stressing traditional security operations tools and processes, and what some early-adopter organizations are doing to meet these challenges.

The rapid growth of APIs used to build microservices in cloud-native architecture has left many enterprises in the dark when it comes to knowing where, how many, and what types of APIs they have. With multiple teams creating their own API endpoints without shared visibility or governance, exposed APIs can become a critical threat vector for hackers to exploit. Edgio's new advanced API security capabilities give customers integrated and unparalleled protection at the edge, protecting APIs that are critical to modern businesses. Edgio delivers these services as part of its fully integrated holistic Web Application and API protection solutions giving customers the ability to respond to threats quicker. An edge-enabled holistic security platform can effectively reduce the attack surface, and improve the effectiveness of the defense while reducing the latency of critical web applications via its multi-layered defense approach. Edgio's security platform “shrinks the haystacks” so that organizations can better focus on delivering key business outcomes.

Offensive security is a proactive approach that identifies weaknesses using the same exploitation techniques as threat actors. It combines vulnerability management with pen testing and red team operations to “expose and close” vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

Binarly is one of only a few startups focused on highlighting security issues in firmware. The company has discovered a remarkable number of vulnerabilities in firmware in a very short time. Its' founder, Alex Matrosov, joins us to discuss insights discovered along his company's journey to convince vendors that firmware is worth securing. This week in the Enterprise News, we discuss Kubernetes attacks and CPU attacks. We also have a better idea of what valuation losses might be for security startups, thanks to the Check Point/Perimeter 81 acquisition. MITRE releases, ATLAS, an ATT&CK-style framework for machine learning models. Bloodhound's new rearchitected Community Edition is out, and Las Vegas's Sphere hasn't been hacked... yet. We discuss Ian Amit's background and what led him to want to leave the CISO life to create a startup! It's one thing for a security product to report problems to a security team. Everyone has these tools, but the problem is that someone has to analyze and triage all those findings, leading to alert fatigue and not a lot getting fixed. Gomboc is proposing to address this gap by auto-generating the fix.

While malware and ransomware tend to dominate cybersecurity headlines, Fortra’s research shows that nearly 99% of email threats reaching corporate inboxes utilize impersonation rather than malware. Email impersonation is a key component of credential phishing, advance fee fraud, hybrid vishing, and business email compromise schemes. Because email impersonation scams rely on social engineering rather than technology, the barrier to entry for an aspiring cybercriminal is almost non-existent. In this segment, we’ll explore strategies for defending against email impersonation.
