Operating in kernel-space is vitally important for security products, both to monitor user-space and to counter threats within the kernel itself. But it also comes with risks. A wrong step in this environment can cause outages and prolonged impacts. Our latest Sophos X-Ops blog delves into the 5 kernel drivers used in our endpoint solution, Intercept X Advanced (as of release 2024.2), including what they do, when they start, how they’re signed, and what their inputs are – and provide details and examples. We also explore some of the safeguards we put in place to minimize risk (such as staged rollouts), and customer options for configuration and control – and how we approach the complex problem of trying to protect our customers from threats, in as safe a manner as possible. For more information, read the full article on Sophos News: https://lnkd.in/eVacudRV

A recent FBI and HSS advisory warns of a #SocialEngineering campaign that targets healthcare organizations and aims to divert automated clearinghouse (ACH) payments. In many cases, adversaries connect with IT help desks and impersonate employees to gain system access, Jill McKeon reports in HealthTech Security. It’s a prime example of the power of regular employee #phishing training. In cases like these, humans across your organization are your first line of defense. https://bit.ly/3SvYbvU

Historically, organizations hit by #ransomware tried to keep incidents under wraps. Fear of making matters worse, whether through negative press, customer attrition, or #compliance investigations, led many victims to quietly handle the situation internally. But as ransomware attacks continue to increase in volume and impact, more victims are willing to acknowledge their experiences — and in many cases, today’s reporting requirements don’t give teams an option.
