Patch Management: Overcoming Challenges 4 Continuous Security:
Today, I had the opportunity to engage with various departments of a bank, marking the beginning of a collaboration that starts with training and extends to GRC-based consulting and technical/system audits.
One of the key topics discussed was the challenges of security patch management in organizations. 👌(The era of monthly patching cycles is over!)
1. Cyber Threats Are Evolving Faster Than Ever
- Traditional patching cycles increase risk exposure and reduce an organization's ability to counter new attacks.
2. More Patching Is Not the Solution Smarter Patching Is
- Focus on high-risk vulnerabilities rather than mass patching.
- Respond rapidly to critical threats and active exploits.
- Shift from reactive approaches to risk-based proactive strategies.
3. A Concerning Reality
- Over 50% of security professionals are not confident they can prevent a major security incident in the next 12 months.
- More than one-third feel less prepared to detect and respond to threats than they did a year ago.
👍(But this challenge is an opportunity to rethink strategies!)
Why Traditional Patching Is No Longer Enough:
Cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, and AI-driven attacks are accelerating this trend. Relying on monthly patching cycles puts organizations at serious risk.
- If an organization still follows a monthly patching cycle, it will always be one step behind attackers.
4. What Is the Effective Solution?
Continuous risk-based patch management not about more work but about targeted security efforts:
- Prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk level.
- Respond quickly to critical threats.
- Optimize security resources.
- Reduce the window of opportunity for attackers.
5. How to Build an Effective Patch Management Strategy:
Many organizations claim to prioritize patches, yet in practice, they label nearly all vulnerabilities as "important" or "critical."
👍(The main issue? When everything is a priority, nothing truly is!)
A Smart Approach: Implementing Dynamic Risk Analysis Based On:
- Likelihood of exploitation
- Severity of the vulnerability
- Business impact
- Current cybersecurity threat landscape
Moving Toward Intelligent Security:
- Shift from a reactive to a proactive approach.
- Bridge the gap between IT and security teams.
- Gain full visibility into critical vulnerabilities with automated patch management systems.
- Prevent threats before they escalate, instead of reacting too late.
In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and AI-driven, is your organization still relying on outdated patching practices? 🤔

Malware Analysis
Critical Alert: Large-Scale Password Spraying Attacks on Microsoft 365
A massive botnet of over 130,000 compromised devices is conducting password spraying attacks on Microsoft 365 (M365) accounts, exploiting non-interactive sign-ins with Basic Authentication. This method bypasses modern login protections and evades MFA enforcement, making it a major blind spot for security teams. Attackers use stolen credentials from infostealer logs to systematically target accounts, with activity recorded in Non-Interactive Sign-In logs, which many security teams overlook.
Key Risks:
Account Takeovers – Unauthorized access to critical accounts.
Business Disruption – Lockouts impacting operations.
Lateral Movement – Attackers moving within the network.
Since non-interactive sign-ins (used for service authentication and legacy protocols like POP, IMAP, SMTP) often do not trigger MFA, attackers exploit this gap for large-scale intrusions. Basic Authentication, still active in some environments, transmits credentials in plain text, making it an easy target.
Although Microsoft is retiring Basic Authentication by September 2025, this threat is active now. Organizations should immediately check Non-Interactive Sign-In logs, identify affected accounts, and rotate compromised credentials to mitigate risk.
Special Thanks❤️😇🙏

Happy Nowruz!
Nowruz is an ancient celebration of the new year, with roots going back over 3,000 years. Marking the first day of Farvardin (March 21st), Nowruz symbolizes the arrival of spring and the renewal of nature. In fact, the word Nowruz itself means "new day" in Persian a perfect reflection of the fresh beginnings it represents.
Originating in ancient Persia, Nowruz was celebrated in the Achaemenid courts with grand festivities, parades, and ceremonies, especially in Persepolis. Over time, it spread across Central Asia, the Middle East, the Caucasus, and even parts of Europe and South Asia, making it a unifying tradition among diverse cultures. Today, UNESCO recognizes Nowruz as a global cultural heritage, emphasizing its deep connection to hope, renewal, and harmony with nature.
As we embrace this new day, may it bring prosperity, success, and happiness to all. Just as nature awakens with spring, may this year be filled with growth, opportunities, and fresh possibilities.

Anyway, What is Anti-Forensics and What is Its Purpose?
Anti-Forensics (AF) refers to a set of techniques, tools, and methods designed to prevent the discovery, analysis, or use of digital evidence by digital forensic investigators. These techniques are typically used to conceal, alter, delete, or disrupt the process of collecting and analyzing data.
Applications of Anti-Forensics
Anti-forensics can be applied in various scenarios, including:
Privacy Protection: Individuals and organizations use AF techniques to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access or cyber threats.
Defense Against Surveillance and Espionage: Journalists, human rights activists, and individuals operating in high-risk environments rely on AF to prevent tracking and monitoring.
Hiding Illegal Activities: Cybercriminals, hackers, and threat actors leverage AF to erase traces and avoid detection.
Security Testing & Forensic Resilience Assessment: Cybersecurity professionals and Red Teams use AF techniques to evaluate the robustness of forensic tools and methodologies.
Key Anti-Forensics Techniques:
Data Wiping & Secure Deletion
Using tools like BleachBit or Secure Erase to permanently erase data, making it unrecoverable.
Data Hiding
Employing techniques such as steganography (hiding data in images, videos, or audio files) or concealing partitions and files within the operating system.
Data Encryption
Encrypting files or entire disks with tools like VeraCrypt or BitLocker to prevent unauthorized access.
Timestamp Manipulation
Altering file creation, modification, or access timestamps to mislead forensic investigators (e.g., using
Timestomp on Windows).
Data Spoofing
Generating fake logs or modifying system information to misdirect forensic analysis.
Log Tampering
Deleting or altering security logs to erase traces of digital activities.
Using Live Operating Systems
Running OS environments like Tails or Kali Linux Live that do not store user activity on disk.
Conclusion
Anti-forensics is a powerful tool for data protection and privacy, but it can also be misused to obstruct digital forensic investigations and conceal malicious activities. Understanding these techniques is crucial for cybersecurity professionals and forensic analysts to develop effective countermeasures.
