State of Malware
As entire businesses switched to remote working, IT teams found themselves trying to fit months-long projects into days, with security an unfortunate but understandable casualty. Faced with a new landscape, cybercriminals ditched some old tactics and placed a new emphasis on gathering intelligence. And as people adapted to their “new normal,” scammers exploited their isolation with a resurgence in tech support scams. New adversaries crawled out of the woodwork, too. April’s global shutdown was accompanied by a staggering rise in the use of stalkerware, a shorthand term for the type of mobile monitoring and spyware apps that are sometimes deployed by abusive partners.
MSPs transform their endpoint security
Read about three case studies of MSPs who overcame their endpoint security challenges with Malwarebytes.
MSPs: The 5 essentials from your endpoint security partner
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are an important part of the IT environment, providing the knowledge and the trusted partnerships that enable organizations of all sizes to embrace innovations made available by our era of digital transformation.
While there has never been a more exciting time to be an MSP, there are also many challenges MSPs must navigate to acquire and preserve long-lasting client relationships. Specifically, MSPs cite maintaining profitability (27 percent), bolstering growth (33 percent), and managing cybersecurity (30 percent) as some of their top business issues.
When it comes to managing cybersecurity, safeguarding client endpoints is a critical piece of the MSP service offering. MSPs should have an endpoint security vendor that helps them overcome common issues that can cut into profits and lead to client churn.
Your selected endpoint security vendor should ensure that you can streamline your client deployments, simplify your ability to prioritize your response efforts, and manage your clients at scale. Ultimately, your vendor should optimize the efficiency of your time and efforts so that you can continue to grow your business and maximize revenue.

Link your social and CRM to drive real business value
Running paid and organic social campaigns is crucial for businesses today, but tracking likes, comments, and shares doesn’t tell you how—or if—those engagements are leading to actual sales.
The problem is a lack of data integration: Without pushing social engagement data into your CRM, it’s hard to match it with other behaviors like purchasing, applying, or donating.
Explore how Hootsuite is integrating social data into Microsoft Dynamics 365 to reach consumers in their favorite digital spaces and turn likes into real leads. Download the e-book Linking Social and CRM to learn how data integration is the key to extracting real business value from social, and what steps your business can take to truly capitalize on the time and resources it invests in social media.

How to Integrate Everything and Connect to Anything
April 28 at 2:00 PM EDT
With the number of systems of record growing, application integration has become a time-consuming aspect of application development. There’s often a lack of APIs, and even when they are available, using APIs from different systems spread across an organization, or even outside it, is no easy task.
Setting up integrations with any external system of record, regardless of the communication protocol, shouldn’t cause application delays. To see how you can quickly link your applications to data in existing systems, join our upcoming Tech Talk where we’ll cover:
- The growing importance to integrate with everything and the challenges you may encounter along the way
- How to build, accelerate, and complete the integrations needed for the most complex, feature-rich applications
- Ways you can extend existing applications, infrastructure, and SaaS, all without slowing anything down
- How to consume and expose REST APIs and SOAP web services visually and rapidly
Measuring Cyber Security Controls Effectiveness with Security Validation
Protecting an organization from advanced attacks is no easy task. Year after year, breaches seem to get worse, even as we hear about improvements in security controls. CISOs are left to wonder if they need to spend more on cyber security, or if their tools or personnel are not performing as expected. Understandably, answers are unique to each organization and its security strategy.
According to Ernst and Young’s 2020 paper titled “How does security evolve from bolted on to built-in?”:
- 20% of organizations are extremely confident that cyber security risks and mitigation measures presented to them can protect the organization from major cyber attacks.
- 25% of organizations can financially quantify the effectiveness of their cyber spend.
- 26% of breaches in the past 12 months were detected by the security operations center (SOC).
This paper explores best practices for getting in front of these issues by measuring cyber security control effectiveness. It covers the origin, capabilities and selection criteria for security validation technologies.
Remediation and Hardening Strategies for Microsoft 365 to Defend Against UNC2452
This past winter, FireEye uncovered a widespread campaign conducted by a threat group we labeled UNC2452. In some of the intrusions linked with this campaign, the attackers used their access to on-premises networks to infiltrate Microsoft 365 environments. An estimated 60,000 organizations have been affected.
Because there is no formal security boundary between on-premises networks and cloud services provided by Microsoft 365, a thorough review of potentially affected cloud environments may be necessary.
This paper can help you understand the nature of this attack and outline steps you can take to detect and protect your potentially compromised environments. You can learn about:
- The four main techniques threat actors are using to exploit Microsoft 365
- Actionable detection and remediation strategies for each threat
- Hardening recommendations for your Microsoft 365 environment
Light in the Dark: Hunting for SUNBURST
This past winter, FireEye uncovered a widespread campaign conducted by a threat group we labeled UNC2452. This group used SolarWinds’ Orion Platform to launch a supply chain attack and deploy a backdoor called SUNBURST that affected organizations around the globe.
Mandiant Managed Defense was hunting down the threat and identifying potential victims before the attack had a name.
In this on-demand webinar, Mandiant’s Matt Bromiley and Andrew Rector share an inside look at how Mandiant addressed the SUNBURST threat with clients. You’ll hear frontline stories, and:
- See how this attack influences the way we view cyber security
- Learn SUNBURST threat actors TTPs
