Endpoint security tools worked, but the hackers worked harder for their payday.

While everyone likes to know how someone else might have screwed up and what the fallout looks like, the more import elements of episodes like this one come from the in-depth conversations about new tactics and strategies that are being used by the bad guys, and simultaneously, the insight on new best practices for the good guys.

So while I did enjoy diving into how the ransomware group Akira was able to use webcam access to infiltrate an organization, it was also great to discuss the evolution of these hacking groups, EDR tools, dark web monitoring and the need for better credential security with Steve Ross. He’s the director of cybersecurity at S-RM, a leading provider or cyber intelligence and solutions.

Watch/listen as we also discuss:

• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools.
• The rise of Akira, and the evolving symbiotic strategies used by this and other RaaS groups.
• Patching challenges.
• The growing need for dark web monitoring.
• The continued rise in login/credential harvesting.
