In this blog post, we'll explore common techniques used to penetrate systems and how organizations can defend against each type of attack. Common Types of Cyber Attacks Common techniques that criminal hackers use to penetrate systems include social engineering, password attacks, malware, and exploitation of software vulnerabilities.

Disabling default accounts and changing passwords improve security, as does requiring strong passwords for administrator accounts. Testing in a controlled environment confirms that the firewall performs as expected, blocking unwanted traffic based on ACL configurations. Sample firewall log management tool from SolarWinds 6.

Do antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools stop ransomware? Only about 20% of the ransomware tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) used by ransomware attackers are identified out-of-the-box by antivirus (AV), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and security information and event management (SIEM) tools.

We will group these technical controls into: User Access Controls Asset Discovery Controls Traffic Monitoring Controls Resilience, Maintenance & Testing Controls These tools rely heavily on the effective determination of administrative controls that define and determine the policies that will be implemented through the technical controls.

The open source security tool, Nmap, originally focused on port scanning, but a robust community continues to add features and capabilities to make Nmap a formidable penetration testing tool. This article will delve into the power of Nmap, how attackers use Nmap, and alternative penetration testing (pentesting) tools.

These controls include: Active Directory (AD): Manages users, groups, and passwords as a fundamental access control for an organization and the basis for most other security tools. Disaster recovery : Implements redundancy and data backups to improve resilience from inevitable device failures, cybersecurity attacks, or natural disasters.

Phishing: Phishing is a type of social engineering attack where cybercriminals trick people into giving away sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. It includes various security measures such as access control, encryption, and backups. It includes viruses, worms, and Trojans.

For example, the credit card industry’s PCI DSS requirements force organizations to use vendors unaffiliated with implementing IT infrastructure to conduct penetration testing. Where required, the MSP will also install software related to the service to be performed (antivirus, network monitoring software, etc.).

Compromised Credentials Compromised identities from phishing, info stealers, keyloggers, and bad password habits provide the entry point for most ransomware attacks and data breaches. 583% increase in Kerberoasting [password hash cracking] attacks. 64% of managers and higher admit to poor password practices.

So basically, we deliver custom penetration tests. So a hacker is able to do misconfiguration, able to escalate to a local system, and then maybe extract hashes and maybe someone is not using labs or maybe they are so they are randomizing administrators passwords or not. Being on the good side and also on the bad side.
