Practicing incident response procedures is as important as practicing fire drills, said CISO Nick Prescot of Norgine. But beyond regularly testing the plan, security leaders must foster a collaborative environment so their teams maintain a sense of calm in the heat of an incident.
The fallout from Clop group's data-grabbing attacks against MOVEit managed file transfer software users keeps mounting. In recent days, the extortionists have added 70 more organizations to their data leak site, taking the tally of known victims to over 515 organizations and 36 million individuals.
A new IBM study of data breaches found that if an organization's internal team first detects a breach and the organization has well-practiced incident response plans, that organization will be able to more quickly detect and respond, which will lead to lower breach cleanup costs.
Unnecessary cyber alerts are a threat that can overwhelm defenders, leading to burnout and reduced efficiency within the team. Chris Waynforth, vice president and general manager at Expel, said adopting automation solutions to filter and prioritize alerts allows for more effective incident response.
Microsoft customers will gain access to expanded cloud logging capabilities at no additional cost just days after lower-level customers were unable to detect a Chinese cyberattack. CISA has identified several security logs - critical to detect and prevent threat activity - that currently cost extra.
Microsoft estimates that each day threat actors attack 95 million Active Directory accounts. In the face of so many attacks, security teams should assume compromise and focus not just on securing Active Directory but also on recovery and resilience, said Semperis' Simon Hodgkinson.
Cyber crooks are performing server hijacking or proxyjacking to make money from the sale of their victims' compromised bandwidth on proxy networks, a new report by security firm Akamai finds. "The attacker doesn't just steal resources but also leverages the victim's unused bandwidth," it says.

It doesn’t matter how big a SOC team is, or how dedicated its members are. There’s no way for people to respond fast enough to stop an attack in progress.
SOC teams need AI—the right models, resources, and data—to automate cybersecurity, so they can handle the volume and sophistication of the threats seen...
Hacking group Asylum Ambuscade, which security researchers say aligns with Belarusian government interests, has an "unusual" twist: It appears to be mixing cybercrime - focused on banking and cryptocurrency customers - with cyberespionage, including attacks targeting Ukraine.
Criminals are continuing to wield stolen credentials, compromise attacks, ransomware and social engineering to earn an illicit payday, according to Verizon's latest annual analysis of data breaches and how they happened, which finds that post-ransomware cleanup costs are rising.
