In a new IT Security Wire podcast, Cary Hudgins, Fortra’s VP of Product Management for the Cybersecurity portfolio, discusses what he sees as the most devastating and prevalent emerging threats facing enterprises today — and how they can stay ready. While digital risk protection is improving, Cary notes it remains a work in progress as threats continue to evolve. He also shares key Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) that CISOs can apply to strengthen defenses.
The conversation highlights a recent case study from Fortra’s Suspicious Email Analysis team that uncovered a sophisticated phishing attack combining an encrypted .htm file, AES encryption, and a malicious npm package to steal Microsoft O365 credentials.
