In the realm of red teaming, rapid and efficient information gathering is very important. To streamline this process, we’ve developed Vermilion, a lightweight post-exploitation tool for the rapid collection and optional exfiltration of sensitive data from Linux systems. A significant percentage of computational workflows worldwide run on GNU/Linux. Primarily used in servers and increasingly in…
Read MoreAs the digital arena evolves at lightning speed, so do the tactics of those seeking to breach it. Traditional security measures are no longer enough for today’s increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The perimeter of technological infrastructure is no longer carved in stone – it shifts continuously, reflecting systems that are more distributed and challenging to…
Read MoreWhile traditional vulnerability scanning techniques provide valuable insights from the outside, authenticated scans offer a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of system security by providing more vulnerability details on the scanned system from an internal perspective. By leveraging valid system credentials, Greenbone’s authenticated scans provide critical insights about system configurations, software versions, and potential internal weaknesses…
Read MoreNowadays attacks evolve over time and threat actors are following different ways to reach the same objectives. This could represent a problem on the defensive side. How can you always be up-to-date and ready to detect, but then when a vulnerability is exploited be able to act in several ways depending on the threat actor?…
Read MoreIn today’s digital landscape where cyber threats are constantly evolving, recurring vulnerability scanning is not only a best practice, but a strategic imperative with the aim of minimizing exposure to potential risks. Regular vulnerability scanning helps identify weaknesses in systems, applications and infrastructures, allowing them to be addressed in a timely and strategic way before…
Read MoreThere’s no way around it: Artificial Intelligence is reshaping our world in profound ways, and it’s here to stay. In recent years we’ve entered a golden age for specialized hardware and algorithms suited to enhance machine learning models. These technologies are now bringing significant advances across various sectors, from finance to healthcare, from e-commerce to…
Read MoreHave you already read this blog post Adding soar features to the soc part 1 vulnerability management? If not, you have to! It explains the SOAR features leveraged by the Würth Phoenix SOC and how we implement our Vulnerability Management process. In this article, I’ll take a step back, focusing on what happens before the…
Read MoreDuring a Vulnerability Remediation process, understanding which vulnerabilities pose a real and significant risk for an organization is not so obvious, and most of the time it involves several different aspects. It takes into consideration several factors related to available resources and time, company assets, severity, compatibility with fix methodologies, and others. There is no…
Read MoreSecurity Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) is a set of functionalities used by the SOC team to automate security activites, improve workflow management and share threat intelligence data. Security Operation Centres (SOCs) can leverage SOAR to gain in-depth knowledge of the threats they face, trigger automatic responses to security issues and achieve better efficiency. In this…
Read MoreIn this article we’ll discuss the security concerns caused by Google’s introduction of .zip domains. First things first, let’s understand what a domain is and how it’s structured. What is a domain? A domain is a text string that allows a user to access the specified web site once typed into a browser. This string…
Read More0-day vulnerabilities are predicted to grow more and more, posing new threats for the cybersecurity. It’s hard to predict them and when their exploit occurs, since developers and vendors are unaware of the flaw until they are actually exploited. Hence, there is no ready patch available for a 0-day vulnerability. MOVEit Transfer 0-day On May…
Read MoreWelcome, today’s blog is dedicated to data breach analyses and evaluating their reliability. In an increasingly data-centric digital landscape, it’s crucial to delve into the complexities of data breaches and develop effective methods for determining the trustworthiness of the information they contain. In this blog, we’ll explore a professional approach to data breach analysis using…
Read MoreAs technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the financial sector faces increasing risks and challenges in safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring the security of critical systems. In response to this evolving threat landscape, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) introduced a groundbreaking framework known as TIBER-EU…
Read MoreIn 2022, more than half of Italian companies suffered at least one email attack despite the presence of spam filters, blacklisted domains and other available solutions for blocking threats. This shows how crucial it is for companies to both test their employees’ awareness about security and invest in training. A phishing campaign includes scam emails…
Read MoreCybersecurity is a discipline that deals with protecting computer systems and digital data from attacks and security breaches. With the increasing use of technology and dependence on computer systems in everyday life, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important. But what are the risks for those who don’t know how to protect themselves? Online security risks can…
