LogRhythm wins "Best of 2014" from SANS

SANS surveyed the SANS community for nominations for the yearly SANS “Best of the Year” awards for products and services successfully used to provide increases in both the effectiveness and efficiency of cybersecurity programs. In 2014 the products were voted on by more than 650 security operations professionals and security managers from within the SANS community, all of whom are actual users of these products.

The SANS Best of Awards are not driven by vendors, but by the people actually using these products. The Awards are an extension of the SANS WhatWorks Program which creates awareness of security programs and solutions that are actually being used to stop bad guys and improve security.

SANS Best of 2014 product category winners will be recognized at the SANS 2015 Orlando training event during the evening Vendor Welcome Reception.

Major Media Websites Caught up inNew Malicious Advertising Attacks Last week multiple major advertising networks, including Google's DoubleClick, AppNexus, Rubicon, and AOL were abused by attackers to serve up malicious advertisements on major media sites. These malicious advertisements were redirecting to the "Angler" exploit kit, which uses multiple means to attempt to compromise a browser and install malware. While such malicious ads are common on smaller websites, they are not unheard-of on major media sites. This outbreak, however, was unusually large and long-lived, lasting at least the better part of two days. Given how common malicious web ads are, some security experts are recommending the use of ad blocking technology in web browsers. http://www.computerworld.com/article/3044565/security/advertising-based-cyberattacks-hit-bbc-new-york-times-msn.html Malicious Macros in Word Documents Used to Install Malware with No Files Needed Everything old is new a

FBI Sees Massive Increase in Espionage, Including Industrial Espionage, Against the US The FBI on Thursday issued a press release discussing what they believe is an increasing threat of economic espionage against US companies. They estimate that such espionage may cost the US as much as "hundreds of billions" of dollars a year. This espionage is not just directed against large industrial companies, but any place where trade secrets and innovations might be found, including third-party organizations (e.g. business partners, vendors, consultants, lawyers, etc.) affiliated with targeted companies. A key take-away is that the threat is more widespread than most people think, and that few organizations are immune. https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-announces-economic-espionage-awareness-campaign http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/24/politics/fbi-economic-espionage/ Microsoft Releases Out-of-Cycle Patch for Critical Font Driver Bug A flaw uncovered in connecti

Ransomware Observed to Jump from One Device to Another via the Cloud Researchers described last week an incident where they observed malicious "ransomware" propagating from one device to another via cloud-based file synchronization. When the ransomware encrypted files on one machine that synchronized files to a specific folder, it spread to other PCs that synchronized to that same folder. This type of phenomenon is simply another reason for organizations to serious consider limiting or eliminating the use of such file-synchronizing software within their networks. http://www.scmagazine.com/researchers-confirm-cases-of-ransomware-encryption-jumping-devices-via-cloud-apps/article/479572/ New OpenSSL Patches Soon to Come The OpenSSL project team announced last Thursday that they are working on patches to fix at least two "high" severity vulnerabilities in OpenSSL.
