3CX Desktop App Supply Chain Attack Targets Millions

Recently, 3CX, a voice and video conferencing software company, suffered a software supply chain attack that targeted its downstream customers. Exabeam CISO Tyler Farrar discusses the steps organizations should take to minimize the consequences of software supply chain attacks. Additionally, he highlights the crucial role of alert fatigue in the delayed detection of the 3CX attack.

Identity Management Day: Three Things MSSPs Need to Know

April 11 was Identity Management Day, providing MSSPs with an opportunity to educate prospects and customers about the importance of identity management. Matt Rider, VP of Sales Engineering, EMEA at Exabeam, explains how MSSPs can use UEBA to help their customers create a baseline of normal activity. By flagging deviations from this activity as potential security alerts, MSSPs can investigate and resolve any security issues before they lead to identity data breaches.

Organizations Have Security Priorities Mismatched as Breaches Continue to Rise

While security professionals remain confident in the face of modernizing adversaries despite rising breach numbers, the Exabeam State of SIEM survey has revealed that there is a mismatch between organizational security priorities and actual breaches. Although 97% of security professionals feel assured that they are well-equipped with the tools and processes needed to prevent and detect intrusions or breaches, other recent security industry reports indicate that 83% of organizations experienced more than one data breach in 2022. Tyler Farrar examines the survey results and dives deeper into the disconnect.

Supply Chain Breaches and other OT/IoT Scenarios

Today with international sourcing, the mixture of proprietary and open-source code, and enormous variability in vendor practices, perfectly securing the enterprise supply chain borders upon the impossible.

The list of supply chain attacks is long and infamous, and, of course, this applies to hardware as well — peripherals, networking equipment, and IoT devices. But in the end, the commonality to all IoT devices and supply chain attacks is the compromise of credentials and authentication, followed by abuses of network privileges in proliferation and spread.

The infamous SolarWinds supply chain cyberattack in December 2020 was devastating not only because of its reach — extending to at least nine federal agencies, critical infrastructure entities, and more than 100 private sector organizations. Its sophisticated strategy made it virtually invisible unless you had tools to uncover user behavior.

In this on-demand webinar, you’ll learn:

• What steps can CISOs, and IT security teams take to mitigate risk from supply chain attacks
• How SIEM and XDR solutions can detect attacks that have slipped past your perimeter defenses
• How third-party credentials are being used, and how user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) can help detect unauthorized access
