Many organizations will see a continued breakdown of their perimeter defense as threat actors target VPN gateways and other edge devices and services.
Once the conerstone of a strong cybersecurity posture, the perimeter has undergone unprecedented transformation in recent years — resulting in both a larger attack surface and a plethora of remote access tools that threat actors are eager to exploit.
Arctic Wolf Recommends:
Ensure network and endpoint logs are available for examination and correlation. Additionally, utilize network segmentation and a vulnerability management program, and ensure your organization trains users to follow credential security best practices to limit any initial access into web-based applications.
Adversaries will continue to create and leverage opportunities for large-scale social engineering campaigns, while incorporating new TTPs.
Arctic Wolf Recommends:
Educate users about phishing and conduct phishing attack simulations that help create a culture of security awareness across your organization, while also implementing identity and access management (IAM) techniques such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), email security, and segmentation.
