Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is an encryption system used for both sending encrypted emails and encrypting sensitive files. Since its invention back in 1991, PGP has become the de facto standard for email security.

Millions of remote workers are accessing cloud services and using VPNs to maintain business continuity. But attackers are pivoting to gain the upper hand.

Fileless malware most commonly uses PowerShell to execute attacks on your system without leaving any traces. This type of attack is also known as a zero-footprint attack and can be particularly hard to detect because it does not rely on infiltrating external malicious (and detectable) binaries into your systems. Rather, it uses your own tools against you.

Suddenly cybersecurity teams have to adjust to the reality of a nearly 100% remote workforce. Security best practices often take a back seat to business continuity in strange times like these. Teams that previously managed a primarily in-house workforce might not be prepared to combat new threats from a workplace without defined borders.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve become one of the millions of employees forced to work from home during the coronavirus crises. Accessing your emails and files in the cloud presents new challenges for a lot of companies — and attackers are taking advantage.

Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) is a Microsoft Management Console snap-in that you use to administer Active Directory (AD). You can manage objects (users, computers), Organizational Units (OU), and attributes of each.

It’s a familiar data security story: under-patched Windows software, hidden security vulnerabilities, and hackers who know how to exploit them. But if the patch involves Windows Remote Desk Protocol (RDP), as it did with the newly discovered BlueKeep vulnerability you’d think companies would have learned by now the first commandment of infosec: thou shalt not expose RDP on the public Internet.

What is CryptoLocker? CryptoLocker is by now a well known piece of malware that can be especially damaging for any data-driven organization. Once the code has been executed, it encrypts files on desktops and network shares and “holds them for ransom”, prompting any user that tries to open the file to pay a fee to decrypt them. For this reason, CryptoLocker and its variants have come to be known as “ransomware.”

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) mandates that access to physical materials or technical data related to defense and military technologies is restricted to US citizens only.

Even if you don’t have your sights on the highest office in the country, keeping a tight leash on your emails is now more important than ever.

Email, web, and brute force attacks are the primary ways that malware gets through your defenses. The Yahoo hacker’s favorite technique? VPN. The Sony hack? Phishing emails. Remote Access Trojans? DNS.

It’s a good time to be in cybersecurity. Incident Response(IR) teams are growing like crazy, and there are more jobs in cybersecurity than qualified candidates.
