CrowdStrike

quoting the journal.

We've been seeing an explosion of these agentic adversaries, said Adam Myers, a senior vice president with the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

We found advanced adversaries using this.

We found very unsophisticated adversaries using this.

The pace and volume of the AI-powered attacks are starting to overwhelm the incident response firms that respond to cyber breaches.

Pundits are referring to the month as Black October, and many in the field are predicting more to come.

We expect that there's going to be a massive number of compromised disclosures in the coming weeks and months, said Stephen Adair, president of the cybersecurity firm Volexity.

Incident responders such as Adair say that AI tools are now being used by nation state hackers from China and Russia, as well as criminals looking to steal data and install ransomware.

But regardless of how this all comes out, this... is all bad stuff and every single item needs to be looked at.

When Program 43 continues, we're going to talk about a company called CrowdStrike.

They were involved in an investigation in regards to cyberattacks on South Korean banks.

Like the Koreans have any way to talk because they have been known to do things in the past.

But wait till you hear this one.

This hair-raising story is coming up as the SANS News Bytes episode 43 continues.

Is your blood boiling yet? CrowdStrike is one of these companies who I usually have great admiration for.

Because when they investigate stuff, they come out with it.

But today we're going to talk about dip buying to screening strong by stocks that are down 40 percent or more.

cybersecurity opportunities, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and the BlackBerry stock that just caught my eye.

I'm going to teach you through some of the rabbit holes that I go through.

Smarter stock screeners, finding quality compounders with Seeking Alpha and TrendSpider, big tech earnings this week, my plan for Microsoft, Amazon, and Google+.

But the PHP example is a prime reason why i own cyber security and here you can see george he's the ceo of crowdstrike remember crowdstrike from a few months ago maybe a year ago they shut down the world and he's giving you a warning you're going to see a lot of breaches happening in the coming months following this discovery of the critical php security flaws crowdstrike's massive threat data could become an even bigger advantage with AI now finding vulnerabilities humans missed for decades.

That's the point.

And I like the long-term thesis of both CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks.

Those are the two that I own.

Parsons is just one of the latest victims in a wave of AI-powered attacks that has flooded the internet in recent weeks, as hackers increasingly turn to agents and AI hacking tools that make intrusions faster and harder to track.

But we do have historical anchors to help us understand the scale, right?

To frame the cost of the precautionary downtime, the brief uses the 2024 CrowdStrike outage as the closest analog.

I remember that.

Right.

CrowdStrike wasn't a malicious attack.

It was a botched software update that crashed millions of Windows machines globally.

Grounded

No, the whole point is there's a market failure here.

Of course, by that stage, CrowdStrike were doing great stuff and Mandiant were doing great threat intelligence and all the rest of it.

But there were parts of the market which they weren't going to serve because they're commercial companies.

But there are all sorts of underlying problems that we're beginning to see.

People freaking out for good reason.

It's interesting because, one, CrowdStrike and then some others were like, hey, we think people are feeling out what they can break into right now.

We don't know where it's coming from, but there's some definite phishing.

People are trying to log in.

I don't know which one because Microsoft uses a different terminology.

The mandate would use a different terminology than CrowdStrike would use a different terminology than the government.

So who knows which one this is? It's one of the volts, I would assume.

But this is kind of how China does what they do.
