FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Malware
Linux systems are a popular delivery mechanism for malware. While they’re not the most popular – that distinction goes to HTML and Javascript – don’t think you can ignore them.
Organizations can strengthen their security posture by getting detailed information on current attack techniques and keeping their employees’ cyber hygiene training up to date.
Malware and targeted attacks on operating systems and firmware have become increasingly destructive in nature, and these more nefarious attack methods are rising in prevalence.
Botnets have become a fixture in the threat landscape, and are in a state of evolution as they learn and use newer, more evolved cybercriminal attack techniques.
Organization must remain hyper-vigilant and upgrade their defenses as thoroughly and quickly as possible.
Botnets are becoming more malicious, sometimes able to create hundreds of thousands of drones that can attack a variety of machines, including Mac systems, Linux, Windows systems, edge devices, IoT devices, and so on.
How can organizations fight ransomware? The best solution is always prevention. Here are three tactics toward that goal.
The fact that so many large and high-profile enterprises fall prey to ransomware attacks that in many cases does not pose any new technical challenge suggests that there are still many gaps that needs to be closed.
Threat hunting must be non-attributable, while maintaining a clear audit trail to satisfy legal and governance requirements.
Each side of the public-private collaboration has resources and capabilities that shore up the other and increase effectiveness in combatting cybercrime.
