Report: Organisations Have Endpoint Security Tools But Are Still Falling Short on the Basics
2024-05-13 19:02

Most IT and security teams would agree that ensuring endpoint security and network access security applications are running in compliance with security policies on managed PCs should be a basic task. The 2024 Cyber Resilience Risk Index report found that, if not supported by automated remediation technologies, top endpoint protection platforms and network access security applications are failing to maintain compliance with security policies 24% of the time across its sample of managed PCs. When combined with data showing significant delays in patching applications, Absolute Security argued organisations may be ill-equipped to make the landmark shift to AI PCs, which would require significant resourcing and direct attention away from these foundations of cyber security.

2023-12-29 16:13

Multiple information-stealing malware families are abusing an undocumented Google OAuth endpoint named "MultiLogin" to restore expired authentication cookies and log into users' accounts, even if an account's password was reset. These cookies would allow the cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to Google accounts even after the legitimate owners have logged out, reset their passwords, or their session has expired.
