Why Pen-Test Scoping Matters: A Lesson from a Breach at BrowserStack In 2014, BrowserStack experienced a breach due to an unpatched, forgotten server. This led to the exposure of customer information and malicious emails sent to thousands of users. The lesson? Every asset, even inactive ones, can become a critical security risk if not properly managed. At FoxTech, our Intelligent Pen-Test Scoping ensures all assets, active or dormant, are assessed to prevent vulnerabilities from being overlooked. Don’t let forgotten infrastructure become your weak link. #PenetrationTesting #VulnerabilityManagement #CloudSecurity #SecurityBreach Read more at:

Battling Internet “Noise” - The Importance of Blocking SSH Bruteforce Attacks. At FoxTech, we see over 500 unique IPs attempting SSH password bruteforce attacks against each internet-facing server every week. These attacks highlight a crucial point: exposing administration ports like SSH to the internet is inherently risky. Our FoxTech DEFEND service automatically blocks these threats with instant response capabilities. It detects threats with real-time monitoring then drops malicious traffic with dynamic firewall rules. Key takeaways for IT Managers: 🔒 Avoid exposing admin ports like SSH to the internet. 🚀 Instant response and blocking are critical for security. 🔐 Strong, unique passwords are a must to prevent unauthorized access. #CyberSecurity #ITSecurity #FoxTechDEFEND #SSH #PasswordSafety #InstantResponse

Just how easy is it to spoof a company's email? In the early days of email, networks operated on a basis of mutual trust, assuming that the users and the information exchanged were legitimate. However, malicious actors often exploit this trust today. Without proper safeguards, it's surprisingly easy to impersonate an email address and deceive recipients. Why does this matter? Email spoofing can lead to phishing attacks, loss of sensitive data, and severe reputational damage. The primary defences against these vulnerabilities are DMARC, SPF, and DKIM. Together, these technologies serve to verify that the sender of an email is authorized by the domain owner and that the message has not been tampered with during transmission. * SPF (Sender Policy Framework) helps validate that an email has come from an authorized server. * DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) ensures the content of emails remains trusted and unchanged from the source. * DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) ties the previous two together, providing a way for the email recipient systems to decide what to do if neither of the authentication methods pass. Without these, your company's emails could be an open door for cybercriminals. Are you curious to see how your organization stacks up? Visit CyberRisk to discover and analyze your company's internet attack surface and find out just how susceptible your company email is to being spoofed. Protect your business. Stay informed. Stay secure. #AttachSurfaceManagement #EmailSecurity

Even cybercriminals have vulnerabilities! Ransomware developers make mistakes like the rest of us, and flaws have been found in many of the encryption malware they deploy. Europol has been collaborating with the cybersecurity industry to maintain a comprehensive list of more than 170 public decryption tools. While no guarantee of success, it is another tool in the incident responders' playbook when all else fails. Being targeted by ransomware can significantly disrupt your operations, but through collective efforts, we can mitigate its impact. Let’s work together to make cybercrime less profitable.
