Robert Cioffi’s Post

This is a talk every #MSP should see. On July 2, 2021, my phone rang off the hook (and continued to do so for 3 days). There were #ConnectWise MSPs from around the globe that beat a path to our doorstep. They saw the Kaseya VSA disaster unfolding and were scared themselves. At Automation Theory, we sell reverse proxy and WAF services for MSP tools. This technology allows for additional security controls and offers protection against 0-day exploits. I can't speak for Robert, but I'm guessing he'll give you advice on how to prepare for and prevent situations like this. I don't know if security technology will come up, but the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" probably still applies. Go to this talk, and get yourself a healthy dose of reality. Once you're ready to take action, come talk to us, and we can go over the technology you can put in place to defend against your worst nightmare.

Huge thank you to Ong Johnson, Khai Yi Lo and the team at Halim Hong & Quek, a member firm of Andersen Global for having us yesterday. It was a great session sharing one of S-RM cyber training series, "The First 48 Hours," which provided an overview of what a cyber incident response typically entails, including recommendations and common missteps to avoid.   From our experience in dealing with cyber incidents, the first 48 hours are often the most critical. The decisions and actions taken during this vital period can have significant impacts on the overall response.   Taking the right actions early can prevent further harm and stop the threat actor from maintaining or regaining access to the network. This allows attention and efforts to be focused on restoring and recovering systems, ultimately minimizing business interruption, which is often the most costly aspect of a response and notoriously difficult to quantify.

What type of threat intelligence is your organisation actioning and consuming? 🔹Shield 3: World-Class Threat Sharing and Blocking - A key layer of the Australian Cyber Security Strategy 2023–2030, emphasising Government Threat Intelligence Systems and Efficient distribution of information across industries. 🔹Despite the benefits of threat sharing, criticism is we don’t want our potential enemies to know how we got the intelligence on them and what we know about them. 🔹Yet, the collaborative exchange of real-time intelligence renders attack campaigns effectively non-reusable. Forcing adversaries to create entirely new attack sequences from scratch after a single use, which is not cheap. 🔹Most important thing is, we will need to make the threat sharing inclusive as small to medium-sized organisations often lack the money and resources to undertake such initiatives independently. 🔹Therefore, those with ample resources can contribute significantly to assisting less well-resourced entities - sharing is caring 🤗 . 🔸For more insight, this article explores the first-ever cyber threat - the Morris worm - alongside Shield 3's projected impacts, common critiques, and the strategic advantages it offers: ▶ https://lnkd.in/gZdjcRMc #Scyne #CyberSecurity #CyberResilience #AustralianCyberStrategy #DigitalIdentity

A strong security plan includes a strong backup and recovery plan.

The security of your organization's DNS is like leaving the keys to your back door - unguarded, and exposed to unnecessary risks. Just as you wouldn't leave those keys under the plant pot for all to see, your DNS infrastructure requires a proactive, layered approach to security. DNS intelligence can provide the essential elements to solve the riddles that confuse and leave other security systems vulnerable. It's not just about ticking the boxes of technology implementation - it's about understanding the underlying layers of security you need to protect your network. Too often, organizations overlook or ignore the importance of robust DNS security practices. They focus on the shiny new tools and technologies without truly grasping the fundamentals of what they're trying to protect in the first place. With the right methods, (OSSTMM), effort, and resources are available to help you get it right. By understanding the critical layers of DNS security, you can build a resilient defense against the evolving threats that seek to exploit this often-overlooked attack vector.
