Issue 21: AI-Driven Credential Threats
Veritas Technologies LLC
We empower organizations of all sizes to manage and protect their business-critical data with confidence and ease.
The hacker group Scattered Spider is back in action and has launched a new campaign. You might remember them from when they hit the news last year. They were the group behind the notorious attacks on MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment in Las Vegas, Nevada. This time, their focus is on critical organizations within the financial and healthcare industries. Since April 20th, 29 companies have been targeted, many of which are major banks and insurance companies. While this is not the first time finance and healthcare industries have been a target, it illustrates an unsettling rise in these sophisticated cyber threats.

As these attackers evolve, they're not just a threat to casinos but now to the backbone of our critical infrastructure. Their tactics? Elaborate social engineering, assisted by AI, designed to steal credentials. Once this happens, they don’t have to hack; they log in.
Last month, Veritas unveiled a series of new capabilities designed to combat these ever-evolving cyber threats. Our new AI-powered product solutions include:
Improved Entropy Anomaly Detection
Veritas also announced new cyber resiliency assessment, recovery services, and new security ecosystem partners. These solutions ensure you are prepared to be resilient in the face of an attack and set up with tools that proactively prevent attacks.
