Posted by Alexis Diediker on Apr 2, 2025 12:05:55 PM

With EDR (Extended Detection and Response) becoming more necessary and common, it begs the question of what tactics and techniques are evading these protections. ProCircular recently conducted a penetration test involving evasion methods that did just that by successfully bypassing EDR protections by leveraging lay-of-the-land tools and incident response techniques. Our objective was to achieve full domain compromise within the targeted network, demonstrating the vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses that need to be addressed for robust cybersecurity. A walkthrough of the attack can be examined below.

Posted by Taylor Herr on Oct 6, 2022 1:12:32 PM

In 1999, Congress passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which requires financial institutions to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data.[1] The Act mandated the passage of the Safeguards Rule, which was promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in May 2002 and made effective May 2003.[2] In 2019, the FTC began working on amendments to the Safeguards Rule, and on December 9, 2021, the FTC finalized these amendments.[3] Depending on the classification of their financial institution, clients will need to understand the following rule changes and properly abide by the new FTC regulations.

How to Prioritize Cybersecurity Before a Recession

Posted by ProCircular Team on Jul 28, 2022 3:08:13 PM

Cybersecurity is one of the main factors to incorporate into your organization’s recession planning. One notorious online cybercriminal group, the Cobalt Cybercrime Gang, has been operating since 2013, completing over 100 heists totaling over EUR 10 billion in losses to the European financial industry. In a time when attackers are highly motivated and financial and reputational losses can have significant effects, it is crucial to have a clear picture and action plan regarding your cybersecurity posture.

With new threats emerging daily, it is essential to identify and address technical and operational risks proactively. Ensuring reliable and uninterrupted function of your operations during an incident means preparing for, protecting against, responding to, and recovering from a cyberattack.

A recession can occur unexpectedly with little to no warning and leave companies vulnerable to opportunistic and persistent threat actors. The two-fold impact of an economic downturn would be that companies reduce spending, often cybersecurity spending, and highly skilled individuals across the globe become desperate for income, possibly turning to “black hat” or malicious hacking. Successful cyberattacks lead to significant financial and reputational losses. Businesses need a mature cybersecurity program that is resilient to today’s complex and often uncertain threat environment.
