Bitdefender GravityZone PHASR: Intelligently reduce attack surfaces before attackers become active
Hello! Cyber attacks have changed fundamentally in recent years. Instead of relying exclusively on malware, attackers are increasingly using legitimate tools and already existing system functions to act undiscovered in corporate networks. These methods known as "living-off-the-country" techniques make recognition considerably more difficult, as they rely on applications and processes that actually belong to normal operation. [...]
User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) – From Behavior to Threat Defense
A warm Hello, User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) is a concept of cyber security that analyzes the behaviour of users and IT systems to identify different activities and potential security incidents. Many data are evaluated using machine learning to create a standard behavior profile for each identity and system. UEBA goes beyond classic User Behavior Analytics, as not only human users, but also so-called entities (e.g. [...]

In a business email compromise, attackers present themselves as trustworthy [...]
External Attack Surface Management: The Blind Spot of Your IT
A very warm hello! Many companies invest significant sums in their IT security architecture. Firewalls, EDR, SIEM and zero-trust models are standard today. This ensures a good feeling of security – and is also right. But despite these investments, successful cyberattacks continue to increase. Phishing, fake domains, compromised social media accounts or data leaks hit organizations of all sizes. The reason for this is [...]
Dark Web Monitoring: Find Stolen Data Before It Burns
A very warm hello! In today’s digital world, corporate data is a valuable target for cybercriminals. What many do not know, however, is that dangerous data leaks and hacker attacks can often be traded on the dark web months before they become a real problem.
