Combining AI and Playbooks to Predict Cyberattacks

When organizations invest in AI, they are not only able to automate menial tasks like patching, but they can also create an automated system that looks for and discovers attacks, not only after the fact, but even before they occur. This predictive capability becomes increasingly necessary as...

Data governance and retention in your Microsoft 365 tenant—a secure and highly capable solution

Data governance has relied on transferring data to a third-party for hosting an archive service. Emails, documents, chat logs, and third-party data Bloomberg, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. must be saved in a way that it can’t be changed and won’t be lost. Data governance is part of IT at the enterpris...

Finding a common language to describe AI security threats

As artificial intelligence AI and machine learning systems become increasingly important to our lives, it’s critical that when they fail we understand how and why. Many research papers have been dedicated to this topic, but inconsistent vocabulary has limited their usefulness. In collaboration wi...

Failure Modes in Machine Learning

Interesting taxonomy of machine-learning failures pdf that encompasses both mistakes and attacks, or -- in their words -- intentional and unintentional failure modes. It's a good basis for threat modeling...

Manipulating Machine Learning Systems by Manipulating Training Data

Interesting research: "TrojDRL: Trojan Attacks on Deep Reinforcement Learning Agents": Abstract:: Recent work has identified that classification models implemented as neural networks are vulnerable to data-poisoning and Trojan attacks at training time. In this work, we show that these training-ti...

Gartner Names Microsoft a Leader in the 2019 Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA) Magic Quadrant

We often hear from customers about the explosion of data, and the challenge this presents for organizations in remaining compliant and protecting their information. We’ve invested in capabilities across the landscape of information protection and information governance, inclusive of archiving,...

Deployment Isn’t the Final Step – Monitoring Machine Learning Models in Production

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last decade, you’ve probably heard of the concept of a machine learning system at least once in your life. Whether it’s auto-translation, auto-completion, face or voice recognition, recommendation systems or autonomous driving, AI-based systems can be...

This Week in Security News: APT33 Botnets Used for Extreme Narrow Targeting and Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday Arrives with A Patch for An IE Zero-Day

Welcome to our weekly roundup, where we share what you need to know about the cybersecurity news and events that happened over the past few days. This week, learn about the APT33 threat group that is using live C&C servers for extremely narrow targeting. Also, read about Trend Micro’s complete...

How Machine Learning is Changing the Face of Financial Services

Artificial intelligence AI has become integrated into our everyday lives. It powers what we see in our social media newsfeeds, activates facial recognition to unlock our smartphones, and even suggests music for us to listen to. Machine learning, a subset of AI, is progressively integrating into o...

Time for day 2 of briefings at BlueHat Seattle!

Definitive Dossier of Devilish Debug Details – Part Deux: A Didactic Deep Dive into Data Driven Deductions

In Part One of this blog series, Steve Miller outlined what PDB paths are, how they appear in malware, how we use them to detect malicious files, and how we sometimes use them to make associations about groups and actors. As Steve continued his research into PDB paths, we became interested in...

Using Machine Learning to Detect IP Hijacking

This is interesting research: In a BGP hijack, a malicious actor convinces nearby networks that the best path to reach a specific IP address is through their network. That's unfortunately not very hard to do, since BGP itself doesn't have any security procedures for validating that a message is...

Top 6 email security best practices to protect against phishing attacks and business email compromise

Most cyberattacks start over email—a user is tricked into opening a malicious attachment, or into clicking a malicious link and divulging credentials, or into responding with confidential data. Attackers dupe victims by using carefully crafted emails to build a false sense of trust and/or urgency...
