Securin Inc.’s Post

🚨 Salt Typhoon: mitigating the risks 🚨 Salt Typhoon continues its aggressive targeting of critical infrastructure via high-severity vulnerabilities in enterprise security products and VPN solutions. Securin’s researchers analyzed more than 40 attacks associated with the group in the past year. What they found: a strategic shift towards long-term cyberespionage, with APT-like behaviors. This is underlined by the evolution of the group’s toolkit  from Mimikatz to custom malware such as GHOSTSPIDER). Check out our latest blog for the full details (link in comments), but for now: 👉 Defense recommendations: 🛡️ Implement robust patch management processes, prioritizing vulnerabilities in security infrastructure. 🛡️ Enhance network monitoring capabilities to detect anomalous behavior and potential lateral movement. 🛡️ Conduct regular threat hunting exercises, focusing on indicators associated with Salt Typhoon's tactics and techniques. 🛡️ Strengthen authentication mechanisms, particularly for remote access and privileged accounts. 🛡️ Develop and test incident response plans specifically tailored to APT intrusions. 👉 Bottom line: The targeting of security products underlines the importance of timely patching and vendor management. It’s a good time to implement defense-in-depth strategies. #ProactiveSecurity #SaltTyphoon #Cybersecurity
