How a Small Business Becomes a Liability
/in Blog Post /by Lawrence StraussA plastics supplier sells parts to a major appliance manufacturer. The small business, focused on production, meeting deadlines and tight budgets, hasn’t prioritized cybersecurity. The small business relies on outdated equipment and software, has weak or default passwords on machinery and networked devices, and lacks properly configured firewalls. Employees are allowed to use personal devices on the company network. There is no formal security training program. These qualify the small business as a springboard for a cybercriminal operation seeking access to the larger, more moneyed appliance manufacture … [5 min. read]
Why you should care about BEC
/in Blog Post /by Lawrence Strauss… within a week of my business partner and I taking over the retail space, we were visited by a firefighter in a firefighting suit who said that because the business had changed hands he needed to inspect the location for safety violations. He walked around and pointed out problems with extension cords, wiring, circuits, fixtures and junction boxes and left us with a notice saying that if we did not have his substantial violations corrected within 30-days the doors would be padlocked. We panicked.
But it turns out the firefighter’s uniform, a sign of trust, had been exploited to intimidate us. This mirrors what happens with Business Email Compromise (BEC). Like the firefighter used a symbol of trust to gain access, BEC attackers use trusted email communication to infiltrate your organization and steal funds … [6 min. read]

/in Blog Post /by Lawrence StraussWe were able to rely on Andrew – soup-to-nuts – to create a procedure and install XDR for Bryley’s clients

–Vice President Anna Darlagiannis-Livingstone
Tom Barnes has been announced as Director of Client Services after nearly five years at Bryley Systems. Tom has been responsible for improving Bryley’s periodic client review process among other innovations.

Trick or Treat: How Hackers Use Social Engineering to Gain Access
/in Blog Post /by Tech Pro MarketingHitting A Particular Target
/in Blog Post /by Lawrence StraussBryley Partner Huntress Releases its 2024 Threat Report
Its main findings involve ransomware changes and the abuse of remote access software
Last year the FBI announced a major, international disruption to a ransomware-delivering botnet (botnets are networked, task-executing computers). While to be celebrated, from the new data it doesn’t look like ransomware criminals have given up – they have found other ways of stealing and causing havoc.
According to Huntress’ researchers ransomware continues to be a significant and growing threat that affects businesses of all sizes. Over the past year cybercriminals have ramped up their efforts to exfiltrate sensitive data so they can extort large sums of money. And in 2023 until now Huntress’ data scientists have seen a shift in adversarial tactics, with threat actors using trusted tools – like remote access software – to exploit vulnerabilities … [5 min. read]
