A powerful hardware-based threat detection technology is being integrated into a Microsoft enterprise security product to help protect businesses from cryptojacking malware.
The move, which integrates Intel Threat Detection Technology with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, was announced Monday in a blog written by Karthik Selvaraj, principal research manager for Microsoft 365 s Defender Research Team. Microsoft s approach is a good move, observed Dirk Schrader, global vice president for New Net Technologies, a Naples, Fla.-based provider of IT security and compliance software.
He explained that since cryptominers are using a small fraction of the power of many devices, they re often ignored by security teams.
A set of flaws in a widely used network communication protocol that could affect millions of devices has been revealed by Forescout Research Labs and JSOF Research. The nine vulnerabilities discovered by security researchers dramatically increase the attack surface of at least 100 million Internet of Things devices, exposing them to potential attacks that could take the devices offline or to be hijacked by threat actors.
