The malicious documents employed in this campaign used job postings from leading defense contractors as lures and installed a data gathering implant on a victim's system. If these services are required, use strong passwords or Active Directory authentication. Keep operating system patches up-to-date.

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is not enforced. Cyber actors send emails with malicious macros—primarily in Microsoft Word documents or Excel files—to infect computer systems. These are the 10 most commonly exploited initial attack vectors, according to the Five Eyes: 1. Strong password policies are not implemented.

Having basic cyber hygiene Advanced technology is important, but basics like regular data backups, software updates, strong password policies, and multi-factor authentication are fundamental. For instance, hardware- or software-based firewalls can monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic and block suspicious activity.

All other needs, for example, authentication, encryption, log management, system configuration, would be treated the same—by using the architectural patterns available. Some of them not only can provide strong authentication, but also have the ability to be used as a secret repository.

This includes rigorous authentication procedures, regular vulnerability scanning, and refined access control for customer data. Network security firewalls might detect anomalous requests on an API, but that’s hardly a tailored API solution. Creating detailed documentation can help make it easier to identify malicious activity.

I don’t, in normal day-to-day life, talk like a policy document. Because if you think about the complexities around the way an event or attack happened or a really complex TSA regulation, no one wants you to regurgitate the low-level details or the policy documents. They want to understand, in summary, what is it? What are they?
