Why FIM Add-Ons Aren’t Integrity Monitoring ( Why EDR Still Isn’t Enough)
<div cla If you are running a strong EDR platform, you’re doing something right. EDR is essential. It’s great at detecting and responding to malicious activity: suspicious processes, behaviors, lateral movement, and indicators of compromise. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: EDR does not tell you, with certainty, whether your systems are still in a known and…

Malicious NPM Packages Deliver NodeCordRAT
IntroductionZscaler ThreatLabz regularly monitors the npm database for suspicious packages. In November 2025, ThreatLabz identified three malicious packages: bitcoin-main-lib, bitcoin-lib-js, and bip40. The bitcoin-main-lib and bitcoin-lib-js packages execute a postinstall.cjs script during installation, which installs bip40, the package that contains the malicious payload. This final payload, named NodeCordRAT by ThreatLabz, is a remote access trojan (RAT) with data-stealing capabilities. It is also possible to download bip40…

How AutoSecT Helps Security Teams Handle 1000+ Endpoints Effortlessly?
Managing security across 1000+ endpoints is no longer a scale problem alone; it is a complexity problem. Modern enterprise environments are dynamic, hybrid, and API-driven. Cloud workloads, remote employees, containerized services, and third-party integrations constantly introduce new endpoints. Traditional security tools struggle to keep pace, resulting in blind spots, alert fatigue, and delayed remediation. To……

Real-World Cyber Attack Detection: How Modern SOCs Identify, Block, and Contain Advanced Threats
Executive Summary Modern cyberattacks rarely appear as a single, obvious incident. Instead, they manifest as multiple low-level signals across web, endpoint, DNS, cloud, and network telemetry. When analyzed in isolation, these signals may seem benign. When correlated intelligently, they reveal active attack campaigns targeting applications, identities, cloud storage, and network boundaries. This article presents a…
