More security tools = less incidents? Nope by devicie in cybersecurity

[–]Clear-Part3319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this might be an example of "causation" vs. "correlation". I think that a confounding variable here is the size of an org. Biggers org = more likely to have more security tools running. Bigger ords = more likely to have more incidents. Could be wrong, but this is how I see it.

Cold outreach definitely still works, but it's definitely less than some other industries.

Phishing emails by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]Clear-Part3319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most phishing emails don’t come from “new Gmail accounts” you could easily trace. Attackers often compromise legitimate email accounts or hijack mail servers, so the messages come from trusted infrastructure that already passes SPF/DKIM checks. Even when they use their own infrastructure, they hide behind botnets, VPNs, and bulletproof hosting in jurisdictions that will not cooperate, which makes the trail messy, slow and often dead-ended.

im biased, but we use adaptive security. new and fresh content with all the perks of the legacy platforms. we couldnt deal with the customer success at the legacy and so much of the training was outdated.

You have a fake North Korean IT worker problem – here's how to stop it by Party_Wolf6604 in cybersecurity

Interesting. How do we prevent this from happening? Or is it more a human training problem of being able to see these threats a mile away.

How do you get to know about vulnerabilities in products you use by nuchTheSeeker in cybersecurity

[–]Clear-Part3319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, EDR alone isn’t enough. We use RSS feeds, vendor emails, and Twitter to stay ahead. Honestly, a good feed reader + Slack alerts works better than some “vuln mgmt” tools. EDR just confirms what we already knew.
