🌐 In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks stand out as one of the most challenging. These attacks involve flooding a server with internet traffic - rendering connected online services and sites inaccessible. With the rise of IoT and remote work, more network-connected devices create security challenges, emphasizing the importance of robust DDoS protection and mitigation strategies. Our Threat Intel Report dives into what DDoS attacks are and how organizations can stay protected. 🔗 Read it here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.ploom.ly/_mLqUZ8 #ThreatIntelligence #DDoS #ThreatProtection

Say “cybersecurity” and “cost” and the mental response is almost instantaneous: 💰💰💰. We work with a mid-market, member-owned Farm Credit cooperative that provides financial services to agriculture and rural communities in the Midwest. By its very nature, #cybersecurity is critical to its operations. 🎯 The want: to streamline operations and reduce its dependency on multiple fragmented solutions. 🎯 The need: a partner with broader #MicrosoftSecurity expertise who could assess, design, and implement a comprehensive strategy across their security footprint. Frameworks included #NIST, #CIS, and #ZeroTrust principles. 🎯 The plan: adopt and optimize E5 & Azure Arc before 2025. 🎯 The outcome: The customer leveraged Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft #DefenderXDR, #MicrosoftPurview, and a fully optimized E5 suite … and sunsetted Cisco AMP, MobileIron, and LogRhythm, leading to an estimated savings of $390,000 annually in licensing costs. Some of the best work we do ends up cutting costs for our customers. So, if you are interested in how we can partner with your organization to not only reduce cost, but to develop a forward-looking strategy that will deepen your cyber maturity, reach out and let’s start the conversation: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.ploom.ly/PuibZPM

Just days after law enforcement seized BlackSuit’s dark web infrastructure, a new ransomware-as-a-service group, Chaos, has emerged, likely composed of former BlackSuit members. Chaos is already making waves with big-game hunting and double extortion tactics, demanding ransoms up to $300K from U.S. victims. Their attacks blend phishing, voice-based social engineering, and abuse of remote monitoring tools. The ransomware itself is fast, multi-threaded, and packed with anti-analysis techniques to evade detection. 🔍 The ransomware landscape is evolving fast. Rebrands like this show how threat actors adapt and regroup - making it critical for defenders to stay agile and informed. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.ploom.ly/4cGlwLg #ThreatIntelligence #ChaosRansomware #BlackSuit #DoubleExtortion #LinkedInSecurity
