Ransomware

A malicious attack where threat actors encrypt an organization's data and demand payment to restore access

ProxyLogon:

A pre-authenticated vulnerability that affects the Microsoft Exchange server. This means a threat actor can complete a user authentication process to deploy malicious code from a remote location.

ZeroLogon:

A vulnerability in Microsoft's Netlogon authentication protocol. An authentication protocol is a way to verify a person's identity. Netlogon is a service that ensures a user's identity before allowing access to a website's location.

A threat actor maintains unauthorized access to a system for an extended period of time

Shared Responsibility

All individuals in an organization take an active role in lowering risk and maintaining both physical and virtual security.

Server-side request forgery:

Allows attackers to manipulate a server-side application into accessing and updating backend resources. It can also allow threat actors to steal data.

Log4Shell:

Allows attackers to run Java code on someone else's computer or leak sensitive information. It does this by enabling a remote attacker to take control of devices connected to the internet and run malicious code.

5. IAM- principle of least privilage

As an example, a cybersecurity analyst might be asked to ensure that customer service representatives can only view the private data of a customer, such as their phone number, while working to resolve the customer's issue; then remove access when the customer's issue is resolved.
