Kaspersky Lab and Anomali announce partnership
aspersky Lab has
announced that its Threat
Data Feeds are now
integrated with the Anomali Threat
Platform. Thanks to this partnership,
organisations can leverage
constantly updated, contextual and
actionable threat intelligence from
Kaspersky Lab to enrich their insight
about the global security landscape.
K
To navigate in this world of changing
and evolving cyberthreats, it’s
important for Security Operation
Centre (SOC) teams to obtain
timely and relevant threat data
from reliable threat intelligence
sources. To make this a reality for
its customers, Kaspersky Lab has
partnered with Anomali.
The Anomali Threat Platform helps
organisations detect, understand
and respond to threats. The platform
provides security teams with threat
intelligence from numerous feeds
so they can identify and prioritise
threats that pose the greatest danger to
their business.
Kaspersky Threat Data Feeds cover
a wide spectrum of malicious activity
aggregated from the Kaspersky
Security Network that accumulates
information about the latest
cyberthreats and other reliable
sources of threat data. By adding
Kaspersky Threat Data Feeds, users
of the Anomali Threat Platform –
including SOC teams – can get
more accurate answers to the who,
what, where, when questions to get
a clearer picture of threats.
NEW AKAMAI RESEARCH REVEALS THE
TRUE COST OF CREDENTIAL STUFFING
ompanies are losing an average of US$4 million due
to credential stuffing attacks each year, according to
new research commissioned by Akamai, the intelligent
edge platform for delivering and securing web experiences.
C
Credential stuffing plays on the likelihood that individuals
will use the same username and password across multiple
applications, sites and services.
Cybercriminals take stolen account details from one platform
and deploy bots to log into vast numbers of others using the
same credentials.
Once they have gained entry, criminals will abuse an account
until its owners become aware, often making fraudulent
purchases or stealing confidential information.
The research, carried out by Ponemon Institute, identified that
the volume and severity of credential stuffing is increasing,
with companies now experiencing an average of 11 credential
stuffing attacks every month.

Each attack targets an average of 1,041 user accounts and
can cause costly application downtime, loss of customers and
involvement of IT security. This is resulting in annual average
costs per business of US$1.2 million, US$1.6 million and US$1.2
million, respectively, in addition to the direct cost of fraud.
