Everything RedTeam Monitor has reported about incident response: 11 stories, newest first. Part of our Malware & Ransomware coverage.
The detention of a prominent ransomware negotiator underscores the urgent need for organizations to rigorously vet third-party incident response partners.
Static IOCs miss modern threats that leave no files, so you must pair them with behavioral detection to catch living-off-the-land attacks before data exfiltration begins.
Red teaming reveals hidden gaps by simulating full adversary campaigns, exposing how small weaknesses chain together to bypass layered security controls.
Attackers exploit idle resources to drain accounts before alerts trigger, making budget caps and resource tagging the primary defense against financial loss.
Scareware relies on psychological pressure rather than deep system access, meaning immediate isolation stops the damage before technical removal begins.
Most teams confuse business continuity with disaster recovery, treating data restoration as the only goal while ignoring the operational steps that keep services alive during an outage.
Digital forensics treats hard drives like crime scenes, where deleted files leave magnetic traces that reveal hidden actions and timelines long after the event.
Policies often exclude the costs of digital forensics and remediation, leaving you to pay for the investigation that proves your loss.
Password spraying hides in plain sight by staying below lockout thresholds, making detection dependent on log correlation rather than single-event alerts.
Canary tokens generate noise by triggering external callbacks, which helps distinguish attacker noise from background traffic but fails against isolated networks.
Dwell time measures detection delay, not attack duration, and shrinking it requires changing how you define normal network behavior.
