It's really hard to run good security tests. And it's easy to make mistakes like:

◼ Not checking threats used in a test are truly threats
◼ Not using correct product settings
◼ Taking unrealistic shortcuts when testing

We #testlikehackers to ensure useful results!

I just created a folder called 'Ransomware Plan'

Context is everything, officer!

[SE LABS ® @selabsuk]

💥 Hacked! That's what you get when you don't use an app as well as a password:

1. Unsuccessful sign-in - Russia (Monday) 😢
2. As above
3. Unusual activity - Hungary (Wed) 🥳
4. Warning email from Microsoft (3 hours later)

Solution:
a) Enable #2FA
b) Change password

Phishing attack failing on mobile...

This targeted phishing email works as designed on a desktop computer, but fails hard on an iPhone

Intelligence-led testing means:

🔹 Learn what the bad guys do
🔹 Copy their tactics
🔹 Evolve their tactics (because they will)

Security tests based on how criminals work in the real world (now and tomorrow) help identify strong, average and weak security products

[Simon PG Edwards @spgedwards]

@chauhan__harry @selabsuk We definitely base our tests on data. That is, “what are the bad guys doing? Let’s copy that!”
