The Confusion Between Scanning and Testing

The Illusion of Coverage Many still confuse vulnerability scanning with penetration testing.They sound similar. They are not. One is automated noise.The other is a human discipline. A scan gives you a list.A pentest gives you a story. Lists are comfortable. They feel complete.Stories are uncomfortable. They expose what actually breaks. Most organizations choose comfort. Getting […]

Security solution which acts like traditional painkiller

most security solutions are like traditional painkillers, we certainly feel better after talking them, but the root cause of pain remains intact and unresolved! as long as we do not address root cause of security incidents and vulnerabilities, we will be feeling better from short-term pain relief of “Security Solutions” and then suffering again soon […]

utilizing dark web as defense

I was shocked when I heard from a “security professional” that using dark web as means understanding cyber threats has been Just Recently been discovered by them as an effective defense mechanism! no kidding! then why we are surprised we get hacked by the most trivial TTP out there? this is very disappointing that “security […]

endpoint protection won’t work!

any solution 100% focused on endpoint protection would not actually protect you from cyber threats. best case scenario, you will discover IoC (not even necessary IoA) after the fact, after a system has actually been compromised. the easiest way to confirm this is what is happening everyday in companies with sophisticated but pure endpoint detection […]

you won’t get there without knowing the truth!

one of the main reasons Security community has hard time securing “stuff”, is lack of understanding of Hackers community. without knowing motives, the motivations behind breaking into computer systems, and deep knowledge of hacking and cracking techniques, securing a system is pointless. results are telling us every single day that we are not doing the […]

is Dark Web really dark?

it has been relatively a long time since threat intelligence sources started to integrate what they call as “dark web” into their system of data/intelligence gathering, prioritization and delivery as a service to threat hunters. nothing really wrong with that, it is actually a reasonable and even crucial part of any threat hunting system, but […]

Why Common Vulnerability Scanning Practice is Useless?

I hope you will find this so obvious but unfortunately security community is highly relied on vulnerability scanning in a way which makes it totally useless or even harmful!  Vulnerability assessment is evaluating of a System against known and potential security flaws. A System is simply a collection of processes, workflows, people, nodes, software…but traditional […]

Vendor Risk Assessment: Hassle or Blessing?!

A Security Questionnaire, RFI, VRA (Vendor Risk Assessment), VR Management…helps customers identify and evaluate the risks of using a vendor’s product or service. Performing such a review is sometimes mandatory based on the industry (e.g. healthcare). During this standard business process, customer collects written information about security capabilities of a supplier and you could barely […]
