Ground Zero: Five Critical Steps After a Cyberattack

🛡️ Rapid, methodical incident response is essential when you suspect unauthorized access. Activating a rehearsed IR plan and notifying a cross-functional incident team (including HR, PR, legal and executives) helps you quickly establish scope, preserve evidence and maintain chain of custody. Contain affected systems without destroying forensic data, protect offline backups, notify regulators, insurers and law enforcement, then proceed to eradication, recovery and hardening.

How MDR Gives MSPs a Competitive Market Edge Today

🛡️ Managed detection and response (MDR) helps managed service providers (MSPs) overcome talent shortages, alert overload and rapidly evolving threats by outsourcing 24/7 SOC monitoring, behavioral detection, threat hunting and automated incident response. MDR can open recurring revenue streams, strengthen customer relationships and meet cyberinsurance conditions, while intelligent prioritization and GenAI-assisted playbooks reduce operational strain and false positives. Choosing a partner with proven threat intelligence, continuous operations and a human-plus-machine approach is critical.

Manufacturing Under Fire: Strengthening Cyber Defenses

🔒 Manufacturers face growing, targeted cyber threats driven by legacy OT, complex supply chains, and high-value IP. Attackers increasingly use credential theft, social engineering and sophisticated malware to achieve prolonged access, data theft and ransomware extortion that can halt production and ripple across partners. Building resilience with MFA, prompt patching and continuous detection such as MDR — offering 24/7 threat monitoring, expert hunting and rapid containment — reduces downtime and strengthens supply chain security while aligning with Zero Trust principles.

Choosing Internal XDR or Managed MXDR for Growth Strategies

🔐 Growing SMEs face rising security complexity and must choose between building internal XDR capabilities or outsourcing to managed MXDR services. The article contrasts Kaspersky Next XDR Optimum for teams aiming to develop in-house expertise with Kaspersky Next MXDR Optimum for organizations prioritizing 24/7 monitoring and lower operational overhead. It highlights key XDR features—sandboxing, Active Directory integration, robust investigation tools and security-awareness integration—and explains how managed services can both provide immediate protection and accelerate staff training.

Protecting SMBs From Ransomware: Trends and Defenses

🔒 Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly targeted by ransomware gangs that exploit weak defenses, offer Ransomware-as-a-Service, and adapt tactics with AI-driven tools. RaaS industrialization and discoveries like ESET's PromptLock demonstrate how attackers can scale reconnaissance, exploitation and social engineering. SMBs face double-extortion, DDoS and coercive pressures while repeat payments remain an issue despite a decline in aggregate crypto payouts. Practical defenses—Zero Trust, timely patching, reliable backups, EDR/MDR and tested incident response—can materially reduce risk.

Preventing Business Disruption with MDR for Resilience

🛡️ Organizations face escalating operational risk as threat actors leverage optimized supply chains, pre-packaged services and AI to accelerate attacks and social engineering. Managed detection and response (MDR) is promoted as a prevention-first approach that prioritizes speed of detection, containment and response. Best-in-class MDR combines 24/7 monitoring, proactive threat hunting and automated compliance and forensic reporting to reduce downtime and support recovery.
