Job No. 1 for any provider of security services is to keep bad guys out of customer environments. When those efforts fail—and they will eventually, no matter how good you are—Job No. 2 is spotting the breach and mitigating its effects. That’s where Attivo Networks aims to help. In a new spin on the threat detection and response products businesses increasingly use to undo the effects of successful attacks, Attivo makes a threat deception and response solution that employs various kinds of decoys and lures to fool intruders into exposing their presence inside the firewall. Preassembled incident response processes can then kick in to implement automated, orchestrated remediation measures. The system is designed to be easy enough for small businesses to deploy and operate, and it’s priced to fit SMB budgets as well.

Why Threat Deception Technology Adoption is Soaring

Unlike other security solutions, Attivo focuses on detecting the threats that have bypassed perimeter security controls, which all determined attackers eventually do. Highly authentic deception traps, along with data, application, and credential lures are deployed to attract an attacker into engaging and revealing their presence. This is quick, efficient, and customers have cited being able to detect and respond to threats in 15 minutes, a dramatic difference compared to the 100+ days of dwell time that many organizations contend with. The solution also adds continuous detection value throughout the phases of the kill chain.

Leave a Comment / Industry News / By / July 26, 2016

A hacker is selling stolen credentials that purportedly give access to servers of the US Navy, Centers for Disease Control, US Postal Service, and other US government sites.

Listings for the accounts were found recently by Tech Insider on a dark web marketplace called The Real Deal, a popular site many cyber criminals use for buying and selling everything from illegal drugs to zero-day software exploits. It’s unclear when the postings were made, since the site offers no dates for when sellers create their listings.

Leave a Comment / Industry News / By / May 31, 2016

A few weeks ago, Tumblr notified users of a data breach that resulted in the theft of user email addresses and hashed passwords. The company did not say how many accounts were affected, but recently someone put the data up for sale and the number is: 65 million records.

The data is being sold on a Tor dark market website called TheRealDeal by a user named peace_of_mind who also sold 167 million user records stolen from LinkedIn. Recently he also posted offers for 360 million accounts allegedly stolen from MySpace and 40 million from adult dating website Fling.com.

According to Tumblr’s security note on May 12, attackers obtained user email addresses with salted and hashed passwords in early 2013, before the company was acquired by Yahoo.

New botnet steals account credentials to login to banking sites

Leave a Comment / Industry News / By / May 25, 2016

A new botnet has been discovered that collects account credentials from users on popular sites and then tries the logins it has acquired on bank login pages.

This new tactic is quite clever in the way that it is able to avoid setting off botnet detection and the rate-limiters that most modern banks have in place. These same security measures are generally not present on the rest of the web which allows the botnet to collect passwords and prey on users guilty of password re-use.

It also has a high rate of possible success since anywhere from 15 to 60 per cent of users re-use their passwords across multiple sites for the sake of convenience. Many users also select easy to remember passwords that are often re-used as opposed to complex and unique passwords. Password lockers are also often overlooked by the average internet user.
