Security teams have spent years trying to detect threats faster. AI is changing the harder part: how much time defenders have left to act.

Introduction A couple of months ago, our research revealed a highly sophisticated infection chain and a complex .NET assembly-loading framework built on XAML markup, which strongly indicates a supply-chain attack targeting a custom Windows build used exclusively by government entities in Asia. The malicious framework has been labeled NetamLoader; at present,…
Researchers can't quite explain why cyber threats look so different in Italy compared with everywhere else.
Building your malware analysis lab is a key point before playing with malware. Today, thanks to virtualization, it's convenient to play with snapshots in your lab. Start a new investigation from a clean snapshot and take some more when you reached a critical step. But, if you need to revert to a previous snapshot, all changes applied to the VM are... lost! T…
