Microsoft’s new incident response playbooks cover specific campaigns and common attack vectors
These guides contain practical advice on how to prevent attacks, as well as handy resources such as security checklists.
A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Swig that more guides will be released via the Azure Active Directory Identity Blog.
“We constantly provide guidance on a wide range of topics and get very positive feedback from our customers,” the spokesperson said.
Encouraging move
Speaking to The Daily Swig, George Daglas, chief operating officer at Obrela Security Industries, said the move by Microsoft has come at the right time.
How do you solve a problem like North Korea?
Crippled by economic sanctions and isolated from the rest of the world bar China, North Korea is increasingly relying on cybercrime to keep its economy running.
Over recent years, the North Korea has evolved from a nuisance to its neighbor and rival South Korea and purveyor of ransomware and DDoS attacks to become the scourge of banks and cryptocurrency exchanges.
Threat intel experts polled by The Daily Swig said that the tactics and tradecraft of attackers deployed by North Korea have evolved to elevate the country to a top-tier cyber-adversary.
This threat extends beyond the notorious Lazarus Group, a crew of cybercriminals blamed for the destructive attack on Sony Pictures in 2014 and the audacious $81 million cyber-heist of reserves held by the Central Bank of Bangladesh in 2016, among other attacks.
