  Managing vast amounts of data, reducing alert fatigue, and improving threat detection can all be accomplished with automation.  This week on Feds At the Edge, we have three experts in automating cybersecurity response to provide guidance on best practices to deploy automation. They highlighted the need to establish a valid baseline for expected network behavior to identify deviations effectively, reducing false positives.   Bob Costello, CIO at CISA, stressed keeping humans involved in the process, citing a recent incident where AI breached an organization, bypassed security features by defeating automation.   Richard LaTulip, Field Chief Information Security Officer, Recorded Future, addressed resistance to AI in cybersecurity, warning that the overwhelming volume of attacks makes proper automation essential for staying competitive.  Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform as we discuss how automation is essential but must be applied with caution and human oversight to ensure robust defense mechanisms.

As the payment industry works to address security and fraud, they're moving beyond being consumers of security technology and becoming acquirers. Mastercard's recent acquisition of Recorded Future is the latest example of this trend. Jordan McKee and Scott Crawford return to discuss the dynamics on both sides of this equation with host Eric Hanselman. This is only the latest of nine transactions for Mastercard and it indicates the need for greater payment security in a number of ways. As transaction security is ratcheted up, attackers are shifting tactics. Identity fraud has become the stage on which this struggle is playing out. Fraud liability can fall to merchants and fraud prevention can build value for issuing banks. At the same time, banks want to minimize false declines to encourage use of their cards. Mastercard isn't the only payment company making acquisitions and it raises the question of this becoming a more viable exit path for security companies. The $2.65 billion deal is the thirteenth largest by a strategic acquirer in the 451 Research M&A Knowledgebase. American Express, Discover and Visa have been active in dealmaking, as well, but not yet at this scale.

Sean mentions his active participation at the HITRUST conference, working closely with risk management and compliance experts, while Marco expresses his envy yet supports Sean's engagements.Allan Liska, the guest of this episode, brings a wealth of knowledge as an intelligence analyst specializing in ransomware research at Recorded Future. Allan delineates the ongoing challenges faced by organizations, particularly in healthcare, in mitigating ransomware threats. He highlights the increase in law enforcement activities targeting ransomware groups, which has led to more internal drama within the cybercriminal community, making the topic more relatable and urgent for organizations.A substantial part of the conversation revolves around the significance of tabletop exercises in preparing organizations for ransomware incidents. Allan stresses that effective tabletop exercises must involve representatives from across the entire organization, ensuring comprehensive preparedness. The exercises should be engaging and realistic, incorporating lessons learned to update incident response plans continually. Allan also recommends keeping out-of-band communication methods ready, such as using Signal, to ensure seamless operations during a ransomware attack.The importance of leadership buy-in is underlined, with Allan explaining how having senior leaders understand and support these exercises can significantly enhance the overall security posture. The discussion touches on common pitfalls, such as the assumption that backups alone will suffice, highlighting the necessity of regular, holistic testing of recovery processes.The hosts also reflect on the collaborative aspect of the HITRUST conference, noting that it provides an invaluable opportunity for participants to network, share best practices, and learn from each other's experiences. That's precisely the spirit Allan hopes to capture during his session at the conference.In conclusion, this episode is a deep dive into the complexities of ransomware defense, offering practical advice and underscoring the collective effort required to protect healthcare systems against cyber threats. Sean and Marco invite listeners to stay engaged and informed through their podcast series, promising more enlightening discussions on critical cybersecurity topics.____________________________This Episode's SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________Follow our HITRUST Collaborate 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/hitrust-collaborate-2024-information-risk-management-and-compliance-event-coverage-frisco-texasOn YouTube:

A former American IRS investigator responsible for some of the earliest dark market takedowns has been in Nigerian custody since February. Neither Nigerian nor the US authorities seem to be distinguishing Tigran Gambaryan from Binance, the company where he works.

This episode features an interview with Tom Wentworth, CMO at Recorded Future, the world's largest threat intelligence company, working with over 1,600 businesses and government organizations across more than 74 countries.In this episode, Tom talks about building Recorded Future News, a separate P&L that has become one of the largest cyber intelligence news sites, and a trusted media entity that breaks important news in the cybersecurity/intelligence world.Key Takeaways:Brand building is not just about creating awareness, it is about building trust and building relationships. Sometimes, the only information you need to determine ROI is whether your clients and prospects feel your initiative provides them with value.A quick way to fail as a CMO is to run someone else's playbook. Make sure that you understand the current company and context; create a bespoke plan. Quote:  “If you think about brand building, what most people do in cyber security, when they get to be Recorded Future size, we're about over 300 million in ARR, which makes us a pretty good sized company. What most companies our size do, is they go buy an F1 sponsorship, or they go put their logo on some sports team's jersey. And that's cool. That's a cool way to get in front of people, but I don't think it builds trust. Like, why would I trust this vendor just because their logo is on a jersey or their logo is on a car? That just tells me they've got a lot of money to spend. So we said, instead of going to do that, the way that we're going to build awareness for Recorded Future and build a relationship with our audience is through news and then through a podcast, which I'll talk about a little bit too. So that's our brand awareness investment. We feel very confident that people who fall in love with our news are also going to like our product. I don't have to prove it, in the sense that I don't have to have this super complicated attribution scheme. We just ask our clients and our prospects, ‘Hey, do you like Recorded Future News?' And they love it. That's just about enough for us.”Episode Timestamps:*(04:22) The Trust Tree: Becoming a fan of account-based marketing *(25:34) The Playbook: Building Recorded Future News*(43:45) Quick Hits: Tom's quick Hits Sponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for pipeline pros.

Key recovery factors: understanding hacker access, affected records, and data retrievability. Scope and Perpetrators: Six NHS trusts and numerous GP practices in south-east London, serving 2 million patients, are affected. Russian Qilin gang believed responsible, using ransomware to lock systems and demand money for decryption keys. Service Disruptions: Critical incident declared due to inability to perform non-urgent operations, including cancer procedures and planned C-sections. Blood test analysis severely restricted, forcing rationing and cancellation of many medical procedures. Recovery Challenges: IT systems encrypted by attackers force victims to rebuild infrastructure, even if decrypted. Former NCSC head, Ciaran Martin, noted that recovery from such attacks often takes weeks or months. Mitigation Efforts: NHS London region employs "mutual aid" by redistributing tasks to unaffected trusts to mitigate care delivery impact. Example: Patients with heart issues transferred from affected hospitals to St George's hospital. Leadership Insights: NHS England's chief executive, Amanda Pritchard, emphasized the vulnerability to international events and the critical, often unseen, role of pathology services. Ongoing Threats: Qilin gang typically also steals data, posting it on the dark web for extortion if ransom isn't paid. No data has been posted yet.

Like the grade-school dweeb who reminds their teacher to assign tonight's homework, or the power-tripping homeowner who threatens every neighbor with an HOA citation, the ransomware group ALPHV can now add itself to a shameful roster of pathetic, little tattle-tales.In November, the ransomware gang ALPHV, which also goes by the name Black Cat, notified the US Securities and Exchange Commission about the Costa Mesa-based software company MeridianLink, alleging that the company had failed to notify the government about a data breach. Under newly announced rules by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), public companies will be expected to notify the government agency about “material cybersecurity incidents” within four days of determining whether such an incident could have impacted the company's stock prices or any investment decisions from the public.According to ALPHV, MeridianLink had violated that rule. But how did ALPHV know about this alleged breach?Simple. They claimed to have done it.“It has come to our attention that MeridianLink, in light of a significant breach compromising customer data and operational information, has failed to file the requisite disclosure under Item 1.05 of Form 8-K within the stipulated four business days, as mandated by the new SEC rules,” wrote ALPHV in a complaint that the group claimed to have filed with the US government.The victim, MeridianLink, refuted the claims. According to a MeridianLink spokesperson, while the company confirmed a cybersecurity incident, it denied the severity of the incident.“Based on our investigation to date, we have identified no evidence of unauthorized access to our production platforms, and the incident has caused minimal business interruption,” a MeridianLink spokesperson said at the time. “If we determine that any consumer personal information was involved in this incident, we will provide notifications as required by law.”This week on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak to Recorded Future intelligence analyst Allan Liska about what ALPHV could hope to accomplish with its SEC complaint, whether similar threats have been made in the past under other regulatory regime, and what organizations everywhere should know about ransomware attacks going into the new year. One big takeaway, Liska said, is that attacks are getting bigger, bolder, and brasher.“There are no protections anymore,” Liska said. “For a while, some ransomware actors were like, ‘No, we won't go after hospitals, or we won't do this, or we won't do that.' Those protections all seem to have flown out the window, and they'll go after anything and anyone that will make them money. It doesn't matter how small they are or how big they are.”Liska continued:“We've seen ransomware actors go after food banks. You're not going to get a ransom from a food bank. Don't do that.”Tune in today to listen to the full conversation.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, plus whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0...

We journey through the history of ransomware with Allan Liska from the Computer Security Incident Response Team at Recorded Future. From its early origins to its current impact on infrastructure deployment and disaster recovery, Allan provides a comprehensive overview, sharing expert insights into data protection strategies for both on-prem and cloud environments, and emphasizing the importance of understanding data ownership in the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Allan Liska —Threat Intelligence Analyst at Recorded Future, the Ransomware Sommelier, and a guy with a mildly exciting expense account Allan Liska is a Threat Intelligence Analyst at Recorded Future. In this episode, Allan returns to No Password Required to talk with Carlton Fields Attorney Jack Clabby and KnowBe4's Kayley Melton about his experiences in the ever-evolving battlefield of cyber threats, what has changed in ransomware since his first time on the show, and his perspective on the power of AI in the battle against cyber threats. He also updates us on his passion project: the upcoming release of the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar comic book. In this thrilling new venture, Allan breathes new life into iconic insurance investigator Johnny Dollar by casting him in a role that hits close to home: a ransomware investigator. The best part was that he gifted the No Password Required team the chance to act out a scene from the comic. Jack and Kayley also talk about the dismantling of Qakbot, marking one of the largest-ever U.S.-led enforcement actions against a botnet (and also marking one of the best U.S. mission titles - Operation Duck Hunt.)

When we started this show, we knew we wanted it to be unabashedly for operators, with expert guests sharing lessons from those who had been there, done that. But this episode's guest made us realize that the show can not only be the place to reflect on the hard-earned lessons our guests have to share, but we can also be the place where operators can come to brainstorm, to debate, and to hypothesize about what's to come. That guest is Tom Wentworth. Tom is the CMO of Recorded Future. As AI use cases explode and new technologies emerge, Tom, like all of us, is trying to adjust to the new possibilities available to him. But unlike most of us, Tom is already plotting where he, and his team at Recorded Future, will take advantage of these tectonic shifts.In our conversation, Tom and I discuss the macro shift from best of breed tools to all-in-one platforms, he teaches me why data sets, not features will be the differentiators of software products moving forward, and we both realize together that those previously fluffy product roadmaps may actually mean a lot more than they used to. Like this episode?

Since it launched in November of last year, ChatGPT has been subject to widespread attention. Cyber criminals have been quick to try to find ways to abuse the AI tool for their own purposes, from improving their phishing emails and supporting money-making schemes, to writing malware. Could ChatGPT help lower entry barriers for less skilled cyber criminals to be? To answer that question, Lawfare fellow in technology policy and law Eugenia Lostri sat down with Alexander Leslie, associate threat intelligence analyst at Recorded Future. Alexander was the lead analyst for the recent report, “I, Chatbot,” which looked at how threat actors are trying to misuse ChatGPT. They discussed who are the threat actors that can benefit from it the most, the impact this will have on the cybercrime-as-a-service business model, and how to think through mitigation strategies.
