BotNet News

Cyberthreat News is a brief, timely snapshot of new threat activity that could impact your business. It covers high-priority vulnerabilities and attacks that have a chance of being exploited in the wild, and it provides guidance for detection, mitigation, workarounds, and response. Alerts cover a wide range of threats, from zero-day flaws and targeted attacks to ransomware, critical supply chain vulnerabilities, a massive DDoS attack, and more.

Cybercriminals pursue a variety of goals: profit — by stealing credit card information for resale or access to systems for direct theft; industrial espionage – targeting rival companies’ systems, such as product designs and proprietary research; extortion – by holding data hostage and demanding a ransom for its return; and identity theft — often through phishing, whale phishing, and BEC scams, which target senior executives and co-workers. But they all share a common threat vector: social engineering.

Instead of arriving as files, today’s attackers use tools that already exist in your environment to quietly hide in plain sight and evade traditional defenses. Join this session with experts from Zscaler to learn how to unmask these tactics and why they’re succeeding where legacy defenses fail. You’ll also gain insight into how to prioritize the most urgent risk and protect against them with a vulnerability priority rating, powered by Tenable One.
