You’ll often hear people say the difference between the two is that CISOs focus entirely on information security issues, while a CSOs remit is wider, also taking in physical security as well as risk management.But reality is messier. Many companies, especially smaller ones, have only one C-level security officer, called a CSO, with IT…

How Machine Learning Detects Living off the Land (LotL) Attacks
Elite cybercriminals prefer LotL attacks because they’re incredibly hard to spot. Instead of deploying obvious malware, attackers use the same trusted tools that an IT team relies on daily, such as PowerShell, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and various integrated utilities on almost every computer. When attackers use legitimate system tools, traditional security software thinks everything…
