MITRE ATT&CK

The financial services and insurance industries have always been in the center of targeted waves…

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.

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.

The landscape of global cybersecurity is undergoing a seismic shift, marked by a fervent departure from traditional compliance-based strategies towards a new era of performance-based fortification. Spearheaded by dynamic changes in the regulatory frameworks of powerhouse economies like the US and EU, this evolution aims not just for compliance checkboxes but tangible security outcomes that defy mounting threats and historical failures in defense mechanisms.

AttackIQ has released a new fully featured attack graph that emulates the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) observed in cyberattacks involving Royal Ransomware.

Reactive to Preactive. Atomic to Anatomic. Lists to Graphs. Simulation to Emulation. To be prepared for the next attack, defenders must adapt and shift their focus to a threat-informed defense, to think like the adversary, and to test their security programs in a realistic manner.

AttackIQ is democratiziing the practice of threat-informed defense and adversary emulation, including by funding research from the Center for Threat-Informed Defense on micro-emulation planning. Learn more out how we put adversary emulation into practice in the AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform.

OpenAI's ChatGPT can tell you exactly how to use BAS to improve your cyberdefense effectiveness. But it won't help you with the Russian military specifically, and that's a very good thing. See below for why OpenAI deserves credit for this algorithmic limit.

We asked OpenAI's ChaptGPT to write a 750-800 word blog post about breach and attack simulation (BAS) in the voice of Langston Hughes. It did great; see below. And well-done, team OpenAI. 

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph emulating the techniques used by Iranian actors to compromise and encrypt systems — without the need for malware — to help customers defend against threats that try to operate while living solely off the land.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph emulating a Vice Society attack to help customers validate their security controls and their ability to defend against this threat actor and others who utilize similar behaviors.
