Rethinking MDR as Attackers and Defenders Embrace AI

·Source: The Hacker News

Executive Summary

For most of the past decade, managed detection and response was the answer to a real problem. Security teams couldn't staff around the clock, couldn't hire enough analysts, and needed someone else to handle the alert queue. MDR stepped in. It worked well enough. Until now. The threat landscape has changed faster than the MDR model can adapt. Attackers are using AI to move faster, generate more

Factoring "short-sleeve" RSA keys with polynomials

<p>What happens when the bits of an RSA private key are heavily biased toward 0 instead of being randomly generated? The public key’s bits could be biased enough for us to detect these incorrectly generated keys in the wild. Together with Hanno Böck of the <a href="https://badkeys.info/">badkeys</a> project, we found hundreds of unique keys that not only have this property, but can be quickly fact

‘Harvest now, decipher later’: The quantum threat few are preparing for

Quantum technology may feel far off but certain risks are already with us in the form of “harvest now, decrypt later” — an attack vector in which malicious actors steal data now for a future in which they have access to quantum computational tools capable of breaking encryption deployed by most companies today to protect their data. Despite increasing discussion surrounding this issue, not all org
