The New Face of Organized Cybercrime

The need for trusted threat intelligence is greater than ever, as 80 percent of cyber attacks are driven by highly organized crime rings in which data, tools and expertise are widely shared. Though hackers have mobilized, their targets have not. A majority (65 percent) of in-house cybersecurity teams use multiple sources of trusted and untrusted external intelligence to fight attackers.

Experience threat intelligence: Visit the IBM X-Force Exchange

Built by IBM Security, the IBM X-Force Exchange is a new, cloud-based platform that allows organizations to easily collaborate on security incidents, as well as benefit from the ongoing contributions of IBM experts and community members. By freely consuming, sharing and acting on real-time threat intelligence from their networks and IBM’s own repository of known threat intelligence, users can identify and help stop threats.

Being a good CLR host – Modernizing offensive .NET tradecraft

14 min read - The modern red team is defined by its ability to compromise endpoints and take actions to complete objectives. To achieve the former, many teams implement their own custom command-and-control (C2) or use an open-source option. For the latter, there is a constant stream of post-exploitation tooling being released that takes advantage of various features in Windows, Active Directory and third-party applications. The execution mechanism for this tooling has, for the last several years, relied heavily on executing .NET assemblies in…

Abusing MLOps platforms to compromise ML models and enterprise data lakes

15 min read - For full details on this research, see the X-Force Red whitepaper “Disrupting the Model: Abusing MLOps Platforms to Compromise ML Models and Enterprise Data Lakes”.Machine learning operations (MLOps) platforms are used by enterprises of all sizes to develop, train, deploy and monitor large language models (LLMs) and other foundation models (FMs), as well as the generative AI (gen AI) applications built on top of these models. The rush to leverage AI throughout enterprises has meant that security has been often…
