PsExec and Renamed Backup Tools Enabled Data Theft Before INC Ransomware Attack
A ransomware intrusion in which attackers used legitimate Windows tools and a renamed backup utility to quietly stage and exfiltrate sensitive data before deploying INC ransomware. The incident highlights how threat actors increasingly rely on “living off the land” techniques to evade detection and operate within compromised environments. Investigators later determined that the threat actor…

Fileless Remcos RAT Attack Uses JavaScript and PowerShell to Slip Past Detection
A recent Remcos RAT campaign showcases how commodity malware has fully embraced fileless, multi”‘stage execution to bypass traditional defenses and remain stealthy on compromised Windows systems. Instead of dropping a static executable to disk, the operators rely on JavaScript, PowerShell, and a managed .NET injector to execute Remcos entirely in memory, dramatically reducing forensic artifacts…

The Threat Within: How Intelligent Detection Prevented a Potential Internal Malware Incident
Executive Overview Organizations often focus heavily on defending their perimeter against external attackers. Firewalls, threat intelligence feeds, and intrusion prevention systems are designed to stop threats attempting to break in from outside the network. However, experienced security professionals understand an important reality. Threats that originate from within the network can sometimes be more dangerous than…

Zscaler + CimTrak: Integrity-Driven Zero Trust for C2C
<div cla Across the first two blogs in this series, we confronted a hard truth: Cybersecurity doesn’t fail because organizations lack tools. It fails because it remains an open-loop system. Detection without enforcement. Visibility without control. Recovery without prevention. Frameworks like Zero Trust, Comply-to-Connect (C2C), and ransomware defense all stall at the same point: there…

How to Scale Phishing Detection in Your SOC: 3 Steps for CISOs
Phishing has quietly turned into one of the hardest enterprise threats to expose early. Instead of crude lures and obvious payloads, modern campaigns rely on trusted infrastructure, legitimate-looking authentication flows, and encrypted traffic that conceals malicious behavior from traditional detection layers. For CISOs, the priority is now clear: scale phishing detection in a way that…
