AttackIQ

AttackIQ recently launched AttackIQ Mission Control, a powerful new feature within AttackIQ Enterprise designed to streamline security control testing for large organizations with decentralized teams. Effective security control testing empowers businesses to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and maximize the return on investment (ROI) of their cybersecurity programs.

Federal agencies need strong security controls and continuous compliance. The Cyber Operational Readiness Assessment (CORA) is a framework or methodology used to evaluate an agency’s cybersecurity posture and operational risks. It typically involves assessing various aspects of an organization's cybersecurity practices. CORA assessments help agencies understand their current cybersecurity landscape, prioritize risks, and implement strategies to enhance their resilience against cyber threats.

As businesses continue to adopt container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes for their deployment efficiency and scalability, they also face a growing challenge—securing these environments. Container security is still a developing field, with many organizations just beginning to understand the extent and effectiveness of necessary security controls.

AttackIQs Engineering Team recently took another innovative step forward in cybersecurity, mapping our content to Sigma Rules and deploying a library to convert rules to product queries to improve detection efficacy through enhanced mitigation recommendations. Dubbed SigmAIQ, this is the first opensource repository of its kind, and yet another tool AttackIQ has added to our already vast testing and detection arsenal.

As 2023 draws to a close, AttackIQ is proud to present a comprehensive recap of a transformative year marked by groundbreaking achievements and advancements in the realm of cybersecurity. This year has seen us reach new heights in innovation, collaboration, and commitment to fortifying global defenses against evolving cyber threats.

The National Security Agency (NSA) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently released their top 10 list of common cybersecurity misconfigurations. Some of these include your standard slew of don’t use default software settings, don’t make weak passwords, and don’t practice poor MFA hygiene. No surprise there for most security teams, but apparently, it’s common enough that they all made the top 10 list of things people do anyway.

Programmatic cloud testing can be your true north.

As we look forward to our next Purple Hats Conference, the industry destination for all cybersecurity professionals, we want to remember and celebrate the winners of our inaugural customer awards program.
