Hitting A Particular Target
Bryley 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]

Risks in the Software Supply Chain
XDR (Extended Detection and Response) Can Help
Part of a Layered Security Approach
We all use software that is built on a foundation of strangers’ work. Even if you hire a developer to write a custom application, software calls trigger functions that were previously programmed by someone else. This means code weaknesses — put there either accidentally (like from mistyping) or maliciously by a criminal — end up in many different kinds of software. And these weaknesses can be exploited by criminals … [6 min. read]
Why Add an Outside IT Staff?
What’s Wrong With This Picture?
If you have an internal IT staff, those people may often be stuck dealing with day-to-day ‘putting out fires’ – like answering, ‘why can’t I print this?’ or ‘I erased a file.’ And then occasionally the IT staff has to deal with something really going wrong – like a hardware failure or cybercriminal disruption.
The staff also has to stay up-to-date with patching vulnerabilities and fulfilling regulations and industry compliancies, and similarly meeting the demands of a cybersecurity insurance policy.
These issues keep many internal teams from having the space to think about IT proactively. Dealing with issues limits anyone’s ability to stand back and see the whole picture.
Big-Picture Thinking
A deep external team is an ideal supplement to an IT team embedded in the business. First by adding outside support, you automatically gain perspective. The external team is situated to provide a view of your overall IT operations. This in itself can lead to more strategic decision-making. And considering IT strategically can clarify how you will achieve the business results you’re after [4 min. read]
