"Trend Micro simply designed the driver to provide a significant amount of functionality to privileged callers in user-mode, allowing attackers to misuse the driver in several ways. The problem is that Trend Micro's driver is insecure by design, making it a perfect candidate for abuse by malicious actors around the world."

Corporations and public sector organizations can now assess their workforce's exposure to dangerous phishing attacks, which are escalating as social distancing requires most employees to work from home. Managers can now characterize the weaknesses in their staff's ability to defend against phishing and online social engineering scams, thanks to "Can We Be Phished?", a new, freely available online assessment from Click Armor, the Continuous Cybersecurity Awareness Platform.
A recent survey of security operations effectiveness found that just 37 percent of security professionals have hard evidence to verify their security products are configured and operating correctly. It's critical that organizations implement an in-depth testing strategy to close these security gaps and cut the risk of being breached, rather than simply trusting and hoping their security products are performing as expected.
