Some people ask me why I'm an advocate for CIS Benchmarks. Some reasons: 1. They are created by a consortium of experts from around the world in every vertical. 2. 95% of them are found in MS Docs /1

I've had a couple people ask me for some quick tips about responding to an Adversary-in-the-Middle (AITM) successful phish. Let's make a thread! PS: Put your pitchforks away. This is to help the orgs that don't have dedicated security pros on staff. Perfectionists UNwelcome!

Running @msftsecurity Defender AV and want to avoid a @CrowdStrike moment - then ensure you set your update channels to "Broad" or similar on most of your devices and "Staged" on some so you can pilot changes @msftdefenderxdr

Imagine being able to identify dozens of vulnerabilities within your Active Directory environment that if left unchecked could be abused by threat actors....PingCastle helps solve this problem. It's not a silver bullet but it's free. Why NOT use it?!

A little info obtained from patch diffing and root cause analysis on CVE-2024-30103 Microsoft Outlook RCE: - It requires valid credentials of the target user to exploit. This is important to know because there is a lot of posting calling this a 'zero-click' exploit and while it might be true to an extent, you still need to be able to create a Form in the target users Outlook client, which requires authorization. - It's a bypass for a previously patched vulnerability (CVE-2024-21378) - Indicators of exploitation may include a suspicious DLL loaded in the Outlook.exe process, suspicious outbound connections from Outlook.exe and spawned child processes. Exploitation is less likely at a large scale given that an attacker would need a user's credentials to set the attack up. Applying the latest patches is the best way to defend against this exploit.

4 FREE solutions, low complexity, huge security dividends 1) Use Windows LAPS 2) Use Hello for Business 3) Use Windows Firewall, default to Block all inbound (define rules) 4) Use AppLocker to restrict users from running admin tools like PowerShell, WMIC, MSBuild, certutil, etc
More complex security solutions are not necessarily better...more complex = more moving parts = more changes for things to go wrong

During a 2016 #SANS course lead by @strandjs, he repeated how blocking SMB between endpoints is table stakes. It took me ~5yrs of requesting IT to do that. I finally gave up - and did it myself. Built the rules, added OUs to the new policy, checked the SIEM for blocked traffic >>

Heard the news? #MSIntune now has a Chrome Enterprise connector! This means you can establish a relationship between Google Admin and Intune allowing you to be able to view Chrome OS devices with hw details, and apply (very limited) remote actions. Connected Chrome OS device:

I got a really convincing phish today from @PayPal. And when I say "from Paypal", the from address is [email protected]. I knew right away that I didn't have a PayPal account for this email, so I was sure it was fake. It took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at. 🧵

Getting a web app to run in Edge in Kiosk mode on iOS has been a journey, so here's a guide on how I did it :) Every example I found online used either a 3rd party app or Safari with a Web Content Filtering policy, but Edge was needed for a specific authentication requirement

We detected a recent spike in busines email compromise (BEC) attacks soliciting gift cards primarily targeting K-12 schoolteachers. Attackers impersonate colleagues or school officials to ask recipients to purchase various gift cards.
