On this episode I'll share my thoughts on the recent White House announcement below.

This episode is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EHtnyGM0TCE

WASHINGTON, June 1 (Reuters) - The White House said on Wednesday that any offensive cyber activity against Russia would not be a violation of U.S. policy of avoiding direct military conflict with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre commented on statements from U.S. cyber command chief General Paul Nakasone, who told Sky News on Wednesday the United States has conducted a series of digital operations in support of Ukraine.

Or at least that's my analysis of CISA Alert AA22-137A

It doesn't matter what fancy tools you have if you're using and configuring them incorrectly. 

This episode is also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MJLpCTG_kqI

In this episode I'm going to review CISA Alert (AA22-137A)
https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-137a

Weak Security Controls and Practices Routinely Exploited for Initial Access

Cyber actors routinely exploit poor security configurations (either misconfigured or left unsecured), weak controls, and other poor cyber hygiene practices to gain initial access or as part of other tactics to compromise a victim’s system. This joint Cybersecurity Advisory identifies commonly exploited controls and practices and includes best practices to mitigate the issues. This advisory was coauthored by the cybersecurity authorities of the United States,[1],[2],[3] Canada,[4] New Zealand,[5],[6] the Netherlands,[7] and the United Kingdom.[8]

Extended detection and response (XDR) collects threat data from previously siloed security tools across an organization’s technology stack for easier and faster investigation, threat hunting, and response. An XDR platform can collect security telemetry from endpoints, cloud workloads, network email, and more. With all of this enriched threat data filtered and condensed into a single console, XDR enables security teams to rapidly and efficiently hunt and eliminate security threats across multiple domains from one unified solution.
