Israeli startup: Google VirusTotal can help hackers
Israeli cybersecurity company SafeBreach has been studying how hackers can use antivirus and online tools to extract sensitive information from computers. They have found that attackers can gather information from unconnected computers without being exposed by using platforms designed to stop hackers, such as Googles VirusTotal. The company has presented their findings at the BlackHat cyber conference in Las Vegas. SafeBreach suggests that sandbox platforms should limit the search or not allow information sharing to prevent this problem. However, this solution denies the service that sandboxes provide.

Getting the most out of your next-generation firewall
SafeBreach, a security company, has found that many users of next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are not getting the full benefit of these packages due to bad configurations, legacy security methods, and other issues. NGFWs have the ability to implement rich security policies based on applications and users, but mistakes can occur due to human error or errors during the migration process. Another issue is the lack of decryption of encrypted traffic, which can be a blind spot for customers. SafeBreach also discovered that network segmentation is often overlooked, and internal servers assumed to be properly segmented were found to be communicating with command and control servers. Additionally, NGFWs can be used to corral IoT traffic, but customers need to set new policies and validate others to make it work effectively.
