MITRE ATT&CK® round 2 APT emulation validates Elastic's ability to eliminate blind spots
Six months ago we celebrated the joining of forces between Endgame and Elastic under the banner of Elastic Security and announced the elimination of per endpoint pricing. Simultaneously, while the newest members of Elastic Security were getting acquainted with the Elastic SIEM team, a few of our analysts were locked away in an office at MITRE HQ for round 2 of MITRE’s APT emulation.
SQL Server, Part 2: Authentication and authorization mechanisms in SQL Server, simplified
In the previous blog of this series, we discussed how monitoring SQL Server activities helps secure databases. The database security can further be reinforced by carefully configuring the authentication and authorization mechanisms for database accesses. In this blog, we’ll briefly explain the various authorization and authentication mechanisms of SQL Server and some best practices you can follow.
Secured access to business-critical resources for your remote workforce
Over the past several years, telecommuting, or remote work, has gained significant traction across a wide variety of industries. According to a recent survey conducted by OWL Labs, 48 percent of employees worked from home at least once a week in 2019, and 34 percent were even willing to take a pay cut in order to work remotely.
Designing On-Prem Kubernetes Networks for High Availability
Designing and maintaining networks is hard. When deploying Kubernetes in your on-prem data center, you will need to answer a basic question: Should it be an overlay network on top of an existing network, or should it be part of an existing network? The Networking options table provides guidelines to choose the right type of networking based on various factors.
Between Two Alerts: Phishing Emails - Don't Get Reeled In!
Potential attackers are really good at what they do. Security analysts see this firsthand with the amount of phishing emails their organizations see daily. A newly released State of the Phish report reveals that nearly 90% of organizations dealt with business email compromise (BEC) attacks in 2019. End users reported 9.2 million suspicious phishing emails globally for the year.
Kubernetes Master Class - 2020-04-20 - Detecting Anomalous Kubernetes Activity with Falco
Even when processes are in place for vulnerability scanning and implementing pod security and network policies, not every risk will be addressed. You still need mechanisms to confirm these security barriers are effective and provide a last line of defense when they fail. In order to keep up with threats at runtime, an open-source based approach can help you stay up to date. In this Kubernetes Master Class, you will learn how to manage security risk at runtime in your RKE environments using Falco, a CNCF project for runtime security. Falco efficiently leverages Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), a secure mechanism, to capture system calls and gain deep visibility. By adding Kubernetes application context and Kubernetes API audit events, teams can understand exactly who did what.
PowerShell and 'Fileless Attacks'
PowerShell had its beginnings as a way to enable administrators to perform their tasks both locally and remotely with unprecedented access to underlying Windows components, such as COM objects and WMI. Since being included in every major Windows Operating System since Windows 7, PowerShell based tooling is well proliferated for both legitimate and malicious use and includes common tooling such as SharpSploit, PowerSploit, PowerShell Empire, Nishang and Invoke-Obfuscation.
PCI Compliance for Containers and Kubernetes
Attend our webinar about PCI compliance in containers & Kubernetes: Download our PCI Guide: More info in our blog: Many of your applications are now starting to run on containers in the cloud. If your applications are at all dealing with credit card data, you may be wondering how to validate PCI compliance, a well known regulation for handling this data securely. PCI is also a must have requirement to check off before your code gets to production.
