The Department of Health and Social Care has established a cyber security program aimed at improving cyber resilience across the NHS and social care sectors in England over the next seven years.The use of technology to access health and care services and information is on the rise – over 40 million people now have an NHS login, allowing them to make ap

A command-and-control server (C&C) is a computer that threat actors use to send instructions to compromised systems. Their goal is to direct infected devices into performing further malicious activities on the host or network.Hackers can use C&C or C2 servers to create botnets and launch DDoS attacks, steal, delete, and/or encrypt data. Basically, a

Today we are talking about one of the sneakiest cybersecurity threats out there: the logic bomb. The name might sound harmless, but this type of cyberattack can be hard to detect, can do all sorts of damage, and can even hit you from the inside of your organization.Let’s define the logic bomb, see how this attack works and what can you do to stay protected.W

As cyber-attacks continue to proliferate, it’s essential for organizations to stay ahead of the game when it comes to security. One area that requires particular attention is the Domain Name System (DNS).DNS attacks are more common than one might think, simply because they essentially exploit the way the internet works. During a DNS attack, threat acto

This is the time to remind you again that online threats are always changing and so should your cybersecurity strategy. You know all the major types of cyberattacks that could impact your organization, but hackers took everything to another level with the cybercrime-as-a-service model.Today we talk about DDoS-as-a-service, a practice that combines DDoS (Dist

Remote work has become a highly popular and common practice around the world, especially now as companies allow a significant part of their employees to remain remote. However, while this practice increases flexibility, improves productivity, and enhances work-life balance, there’s a downside to it – remote work security risks.In this new remote-working land

In the book about cybersecurity, protecting your endpoints must be the first and one of the most important chapters. Once an endpoint is breached, there is no way of telling what a cybercriminal will do next. Hackers can decide to encrypt your data, steal valuable information, infect the entire network, send malicious emails, and so on.So, we can’t stress en

Domain generation algorithms (DGA) are software that creates large numbers of domain names. This helps hackers deploy malware easier. Let`s take a closer look at what DGA is, how it works, and why it’s still popular among threat actors after all these years.Threat actors use DGA so they can swiftly change the domains they’re using to launch malwa

The state of cybersecurity continues to challenge defenders around the world. With hybrid work here to stay and emerging trends like Ransomware as a Service, organizations need a partner that empowers them with not only modern endpoint security but an integrated solution that helps security operations teams defend against the most advanced attacks.1 At the s

Today marks a significant shift in endpoint management and security. We’re launching the Microsoft Intune Suite, which unifies mission-critical advanced endpoint management and security solutions into one simple bundle. The new Intune Suite can simplify our customers’ endpoint management experience, improve their security posture, and keep people at th

Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) is yet another step toward the perfect security solution. Researchers designed MXDR with two major vectors in mind. First, it had to keep up with the latest internal and external threats. Second, to protect the more complex business networks.Because these two goals are hard to reach with in-house staff, vendors

DNS records or resource records (RR) contain various types of data about domain names and IP addresses. They are stocked in DNS databases on authoritative DNS servers.DNS records offer information about what IP address is associated with what domain, for example. When you type, let`s say, www.example.com on your mobile, the device sends further a DNS query.

Security breaches can have a devastating effect on an organization. That’s why developing an endpoint security plan is critical in protecting against malicious actors who seek to steal or damage the data and assets owned by a company. In this article, we’ll look at the key components that make up an endpoint security strategy and how you can deve

Keep in mind that the primary goal of every cybercriminal is to make as much money as possible. So, the apparition of the cybercrime-as-a-service (CaaS) model was the next inevitable step in pursuing this goal. CaaS, as an organized action, means more revenue with less effort. Hackers are now providing their skills and equipment to anyone ready to pay for it

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a fundamental communication protocol, used in computer networks, that does exactly what its name says: it controls how data is transmitted between two systems – the client and the server, and it makes sure this is achieved successfully.Because it has been widely used on the Internet since its inception, in the 197
