Cybersecurity threats are always evolving, and today we’re seeing a new wave of advanced attacks specifically targeting IoT devices used in enterprise environments as well as operational technology devices used in industrial systems and critical infrastructure.
Microsoft found a vulnerability (CVE-2021-30892) that could allow an attacker to bypass System Integrity Protection (SIP) in macOS. We shared our findings with Apple via coordinated vulnerability disclosure, and a fix was released October 26.
Cyberattacks and ransomware demands are on the rise. Microsoft security solutions and managed security service providers help organizations enable a proactive cybersecurity approach.
Adapting to the evolving business landscape, organizations increasingly depend on Microsoft Endpoint Manager to enable hybrid work—where the endpoint is the new workplace.
Here at the global Microsoft Compromise Recovery Security Practice (CRSP), we work with customers who have experienced disruptive security incidents to restore trust in identity systems and remove adversary control. During 2020, the team responded to many incidents involving ransomware and the deployment of crypto-mining tools.
Our world is changing, and Microsoft Security is rising to the challenges of a new normal. Today, I want to share more about how we are empowering our partners to be successful in building trust with customers and enabling business growth.
Microsoft 365 Defender researchers recently uncovered and disrupted a large-scale business email compromise (BEC) infrastructure hosted in multiple web services. Attackers used this cloud-based infrastructure to compromise mailboxes via phishing and add forwarding rules, enabling these attackers to get access to emails about financial transactions.
Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) has uncovered a wide-scale malicious email campaign operated by NOBELIUM, the threat actor behind the attacks against SolarWinds, the SUNBURST backdoor, TEARDROP malware, GoldMax malware, and other related components. The campaign, initially observed and tracked by Microsoft since January 2021, evolved over a series of waves demonstrating significant experimentation.
We are excited to share that Microsoft has been named a Leader in The Forrester WaveTM: Endpoint Security Software as a Service, Q2 20211, receiving one of the highest scores in the strategy category and among the top three scores in the current offering category.
We are operating in the most complex cybersecurity landscape we’ve ever seen. Sophisticated and determined attackers are the norm. And we all are preparing for the next great disruption—hybrid work.
We are swiftly adapting to the lasting reality of a hybrid workforce, with the number of remote workers in the US expected to nearly double over the next five years, compared to pre-pandemic times.
We are so grateful to our customers who have collaborated with us in creating one of the best endpoint security solutions on the market and are thrilled that Gartner has recognized this work and the journey we’ve taken alongside our customers by naming Microsoft a Leader in the 2021 Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) Magic Quadrant,
