4 questions to ask before outsourcing MDR
2. Can your team separate real threats from noise?: Alert fatigue is one of the biggest barriers to effective security. Tools generate volumes of signals, but not all alerts represent real risk. When everything looks critical, teams either burn out or miss the alerts that matter most.MDR helps by applying human expertise and threat intelligence…

China-linked cloud credential heist runs on typos and SMTP
Typosquatting for cloud-native espionage: The campaign relies heavily on deception, the researchers pointed out, using C2 domains closely resembling legitimate Alibaba Cloud services. The typosquatting approach allows malicious traffic to blend into routine cloud operations, specifically in environments where outbound filtering is absent.The implant used is an obfuscated ELF binary, with an executable designed for…

Why Network Monitoring Alone Misses Application Attacks
Tags: application-security, attack, defense, detection, exploit, monitoring, network, tool, vulnerability, waf<div cla TL;DR Network security monitoring excels at traffic analysis and perimeter defense, yet research shows WAF alerts generate overwhelming noise with minimal correlation to actual exploit attempts. The gap exists because network tools operate at the packet level or network edge, while application attacks exploit vulnerabilities during code execution. Runtime application security through Application…
