Socialengineering attacks have long been a threat to businesses worldwide, statistically comprising roughly 98% of cyberattacks worldwide. Given the much more psychologically focused and methodical ways that socialengineering attacks can be conducted, it makes spotting them hard to do.
As the demand for robust securitydefense grows by the day, the market for cybersecurity technology has exploded, as well as the number of available solutions. The Rapid7 Insight Platform gives you a broad spectrum of solutions for cloud security, vulnerability risk management, threatdetection and response, and threat intelligence.
Despite all the advances in cybersecurity, email remains the starting point for the vast majority of cyberattacks, as phishing, malware and socialengineering remain effective attack techniques. That makes email security software a worthwhile investment for organizations of all sizes. user/month.
This can occur due to data leakage through faulty apps or systems, by laptops or portable storage devices being lost, by malicious actors breaking through securitydefenses, by socialengineering attacks, or by data being intercepted in man-in-the-middle attacks.
It simplifies operations by lowering the chance of configuration conflicts and misconfigurations or oversights that could affect security. It also allows for centralized tracking of firewall activity, which simplifies threatdetection and response. Why It Matters Preventing socialengineering attacks requires user awareness.
These checklists include security standards and best practices for SaaS and cloud applications, and B2B SaaS providers use them to guarantee that their solutions match customer security standards. Socialengineering, for example, is a threat that makes use of human vulnerabilities for illegal access.
This method involves using emails, social media, instant messaging, and other platforms to manipulate users into revealing personal information or performing actions that can lead to network compromise, data loss, or financial harm. socialengineering tactics and strange sender behaviors), they also use artificial intelligence algorithms.
Vulnerability Management Product Guides 8 Best Vulnerability Scanner Tools Top 10 Open Source Vulnerability Assessment Tools 12 Top Vulnerability Management Tools Threat Intelligence and Detection At the most basic level, threatdetection strategies and tools monitor networks for suspicious and anomalous activity.
As cybercriminals leverage publicly available and custom-made AI tools to orchestrate highly targeted campaigns, exploiting the trust of individuals and organizations alike, security vendors will integrate generative AI into their toolkits to enhance threatdetection and response capabilities.
Insider Threats Malicious insiders may purposefully abuse their access privileges, whereas reckless insiders may accidentally expose critical data or misconfigure security settings. The lack of awareness, employee dissatisfaction, or socialengineering attacks targeting an employee may all cause insider threats.
Conduct user awareness training: Incorporate a focused training program into onboarding and workflow process so employees can learn about socialengineering strategies, phishing risks, and cloud security best practices. Offer regular workshops: Provide monthly training, webinars, and seminars on cloud security.
“As organizations quickly adopt technologies like Okta Fastpass which uses biometrics for authentication instead of passwords, … we expect an increase in two areas: breaches caused by socialengineering (already on the rise), and breaches caused by Insiders (already over 40% of all breaches).
Among these experienced affiliates is the “Scattered Spider” group, known for its custom tools and advanced socialengineering skills, which helped RansomHub become the most active ransomware group in Q3 2024 (see Figure 1). In November 2022, IntelBroker reportedly used Endurance to target the US Federal Government.
