OM DENNE EPISODE
Defenders aren't losing ground on one front, they're losing it on two at once. The largest Patch Tuesday in history just dropped alongside a 1,380% surge in phishing, and threat actors aren't waiting for you to catch up.
Join hosts Alexandra Moore and John Dilgen as they break down:
- How new extortion group Helix and ClickFix are weaponizing identity compromise at scale
- Why 622 vulnerabilities in a single week signals a permanent shift in the discovery rate
- Practical defenses for both fronts without doubling your team
Two questions your organization should be asking right now:
- Have you audited which accounts in your environment are permitted to authenticate via device code grants and restricted the ones that don't need it?
- Does your IR runbook hunt for additional compromised accounts, or does it stop at the one sending extortion demands?
