Catch attackers who slip past your security perimeter before it's too late
Attackers use nefarious techniques to hide and remain in systems indefinitely stealing credentials such as admin accounts thus moving laterally in your in your networks till they find what they want.
Be it forensically ( in cases of law enforcement ) or otherwise including risk assessments a security analyst will do hands on work looking for indicators of compromise using his techniques and your computer logs ( if set up properly ) to trace back in time how and when the attack began so as to advise how to prevent it happening in future.
As attackers keep trying to slip through threat detection systems using malicious website scripts with obfuscation and phishing tricks to make emails look legitimate the human analyst now is more in demand than ever before and plays a vital role in protecting and preventing the spread of attacks in company networks with his visibility tools.
As more applications we use daily if not already, have migrated to being more web based both on mobile and desktop platforms this also means the potential attack surface for bad actors increases as nearly everything is done online.
One of the most important tasks in any organization is how secure a server is from the start of operation. This means getting it done right before that server goes online. This should be deciding which services are a must to run on a server by disabling unecessary default configurations which most likely will expose you more and have a negative impact on your attack surface. Some things an expert should consider is patches, updates, strong unique passwords, two factor/ multi factor authentication, configuring firewalls and other network security control mechanisms, encryption for the sensitive data both in storage and in transmission. Overall, hardening of Windows/Linux servers by following the steps outlined above, you can greatly reduce the likelihood of a successful attack on your server.
Collect as much telemetry as possible to forensically be able to investigate suspicious looking events in available logs, such as specific patterns of behavior, known malicious sources, or other anomalous behaviour. No attack is 100% perfect as there is always a trail of evidence left behind which can also be seen even after logs may have been deleted by a successful hacker. There are many ways one can set bait for an attacker to reveal his methods so you have the advantage if you are prepared in advance for them coming.
Taking a proactive approach to defense means being proactive in identifying and addressing potential security threats. This is in contrast to a reactive approach, where security measures are only implemented after a breach has occurred. A proactive approach to defense is considered the best way to stay secure because it allows you to identify and mitigate potential threats before they can do significant damage. By constantly monitoring your systems and networks for signs of malicious activity, you can identify potential threats and take action to prevent them from becoming successful attacks.
Deep fakes are social engineering attacks with potential threat to the credibility of an individual, and such hacking techniques and deception add to the already large amount of disinformation on the internet. Manipulated content used maliciously for financial gain is a criminal offense. This newer form of hacking has caused financial losses to many be it through fake video or fake audio being used to trick people into believing what they see and hear. Techniques of detection are constantly evolving as does the technology of generating these deep fakes so the cat and mouse game continues. You should not hesitate to take legal action if you feel your privacy has been breached.
Artificial Intelligence is being use more and has become part of a daily routine for many now. It is used to save time and it can only keep getting better and more subject to scrutiny as it replaces human tasks with ease. The use of tools like Bard or ChatGpt have shown us the true potential of harnessing this power.
Deep fakes has reached a point where the technology can mimick our voice and faces so much so many people do not see the difference anymore. In such situations where the hacker may use your voice, your face in a video to pretend to be you to try defraud you or throw disinformation out into the internet is very real and damaging threat to anyone. This is where we use a combination of tools be it AI technology, and other means to fight back and detect these breaches of privacy, attacks on your reputation or security. It is important to be aware of the potential risks of deep fakes and develop strategies to combat them. We use various techniques to provide detailed reports for our clients.
