Investing heavily in cybersecurity is a positive trend observed across the EU. Companies implement SIEM, EDR, threat intelligence and dedicated SOC teams. Everything seems to be in place, the budgets have been spent. But what does it take for security leaders to conclude that these investments are well-spent and keep their organization protected? With the […]

European businesses, particularly in the UK and Italy, face malware campaigns that exploit routine business correspondence. A recent Formbook (now also known as XLoader) campaign uses localized order and procurement lures to deliver an information stealer. Manufacturing and technology companies are especially exposed because employees regularly handle purchase orders, supplier documents, and payment requests. A […]

Your SOC pays for multiple threat intelligence feeds, yet fresh malicious domains and IPs can still appear in telemetry as unknown. When feeds rely on overlapping sources, more subscriptions may deliver the same indicators while leaving emerging threats uncovered. Analysts must fill these gaps manually, checking indicator reputations, comparing sources, and gathering evidence. Every extra […]

Security investigations often begin with a single suspicious IOC, but deciding what it means requires context. The more relevant intelligence analysts can connect to that finding, the better they can determine what deserves attention and what to do next. October’s release introduces a new powerful capability in ANY.RUN’s Interactive Sandbox– Related Threat Context. Now SOCs […]

SkyW4lker (SkyW4lker x365 Sentinel) is an active device-code phishing kit targeting Microsoft 365 users in the United States, Europe, and other regions. By abusing Microsoft’s legitimate authentication process, the kit can give attackers access to corporate accounts without stealing passwords or bypassing MFA. This puts business emails, sensitive documents, and other Microsoft 365 resources at […]

When an IOC hits the SOC, the clock is already running. An IP address, domain, file hash, or suspicious URL can trigger a detection, but an analyst still needs to understand what it is, whether it is connected to known malicious activity, and what happened around it. The longer it takes to build that context, […]

During triage, analysts may overlook valuable threat intelligence simply because they don’t know it exists. Previous investigations, related malicious activity, and industry-specific observations could provide the context needed to decide what to investigate next. Now, all that valuable context is finally within reach! With Related Threat Context, now available to ANY.RUN Enterprise clients, SOC and […]

The DORA TLPT requirements push selected EU financial entities beyond standard penetration testing. TLPT must be based on realistic threat scenarios, relevant threat actors, and current intelligence about how attacks are actually carried out. That makes threat intelligence a core part of the process. It helps define what should be tested, which TTPs matter, and […]

Adding 10 new clients sounds like exactly the kind of problem an MSSP wants to have. More revenue, more accounts, more room to grow. But growth also brings more alerts, suspicious files and URLs, investigations, escalations, reports, and SLA commitments. And if too much of that work still depends on manual analyst effort, those 10 […]
