Anyone have a good experience with a managed vuln management (MVM) provider? If so, who did you use and what did you love about the service?
Also interested in folks that may have had bad MVM experiences. What didn't you get that you were hoping for?
Quick 🧵of some of the insights and actions we're sharing with our customers based on Q2 '21 incident data.
TL;DR:
- #BEC in O365 is a huge problem. MFA everywhere, disable legacy protocols.
- We’re 👀 more ransomware attacks. Reduce/control the self-install attack surface.
MS Defender for Identity helped us spot #redteam at a customer this week.
Lead: Suspected Kerberos SPN exposure
This was ~20 hours before we had any significant activity from an EDR integration.
Good example of the importance of being able to extend beyond EDR.
The Global Response Team at @expel_io is hiring! If you’re a passionate incident responder or looking to blend in some blue to your red team skills — we’d love to talk to you!

Tips and insights from @jhencinski & the @expel_io#SOC on metrics/techniques to protect against volatility: https://t.co/5ogCXJFFci
If you have a #SOC#QC program be super transparent about the trend.
We wrote a #Slack bot that sends the #QC trend to the team each day. We talk about it. We plan. We adjust.

Caveat: This is what we've found useful in our journey to better detect and respond in AWS and might not work for everyone. And yes, I did steal @jhencinski's effective tweet style 😀
Hope this is helpful!
