In The Importance of Layering Offensive Security Solutions, Fortra experts underscore the advantage of developing a single source offensive security tooling portfolio.
When school is out for summer, it seems like everyone is on vacation – everyone except your (un)friendly neighborhood cybercriminals.
Something about the summer months puts us off our guard and threat actors on high alert. The only way to stay safe is to know what’s causing the trouble in the first place. We’ve packed our sunscreen – now read on to find out how to make sure your security also doesn’t get burned.
Cyber attacks may not have been around when Ben Franklin said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail,” but it has become an appropriate cybersecurity principle, nonetheless. So what does preparation involve and how are organizations ensuring that is integrated into their security strategy?
To stay ahead of cyber threats, organizations must anticipate attacks and eliminate weaknesses before they are exploited. This requires offensive security tactics delivered by an effective set of proactive tools that include pen testing, red teaming and vulnerability management.
PRODUCT SUMMARY
How can we do more with less? It’s a question all cybersecurity teams are asking themselves as they are confronted with more attacks and fewer resources. A proactive strategy that layers offensive security solutions like vulnerability management, pen testing, and red teaming can give your team the capabilities and efficiency it needs to identify threats and protect your critical assets.
Organized ransomware isn’t slowing down – in fact, a group just discovered a month ago is already responsible for dozens of attacks – and they are experts at discovering weaknesses we miss.
The times, they are a changin', as Bob Dylan would say. It's a time of a lot of global change, leading to dramatic shifts in different industries. Organizations have to be agile and change along with it, all while keeping cybersecurity top of mind.
What’s the point of establishing a baseline if you don’t intend to track your progress? When organizations only run an initial pen test, they are only getting half the picture.
A pen test is used to give a business a baseline idea of how well their systems would stack up against hackers who wanted to exploit vulnerabilities. Once the results are delivered, it’s up to the team to implement those changes. And then –
Some time ago, Core Impact added a module that supports the use BloodHound, a data analysis tool that uncovers hidden relationships within an Active Di
There’s something positive about a healthy degree of fear. It lets us understand our own limitations, heightens our senses, and keeps us alive. The tendency to err on the side of caution was called out in our recent 2023 Penetration Testing Report as a smart practice when it comes to cybersecurity. In fact, though security professionals reported less confidence in their security posture, this loss confidence is a good thing. Overconfidence can blind us to risk and is more of a liability than an asset in cybersecurity.
