🍪 Cybercriminals and the Cookie Conundrum: Cybercriminals are always evolving, and their latest focus? Stealing session cookies to hijack accounts and bypass security measures. This emerging threat underscores the critical need for organizations to rethink their cybersecurity strategies. As highlighted in IT Brew's article, attackers exploit weaknesses in session management, potentially gaining access to sensitive systems without detection. With multi-factor authentication (MFA) becoming the norm, cybercriminals are shifting their focus to circumvent these layers by targeting session persistence. Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Session Cookies Are Key Assets: These small pieces of data carry immense power in maintaining authenticated access. A stolen cookie is like a stolen key—letting attackers walk right in. 2️⃣ MFA Alone Isn’t Enough: While MFA significantly reduces risk, it isn’t foolproof. Organizations must combine it with robust session management and behavior-based anomaly detection. 3️⃣ Proactive Defense Is Essential: Investing in holistic threat detection solutions (like TANDMM’s XDR platform) can help monitor and mitigate cookie-based attacks in real-time. At TANDMM, we’re hyper-committed to staying ahead of these threats by empowering organizations to secure their systems with cutting-edge tools, AI-driven anomaly detection, and proactive defense strategies. How are you adapting your cybersecurity strategies to combat this next wave of threats? Let’s collaborate and stay ahead of the curve. #CyberSecurity #CookieStealing #ITDefense #ProactiveSecurity #TANDMM

Why HIPAA Alone Isn’t Enough in Today’s Cyber Threat Landscape As cyber threats evolve in both frequency and sophistication, HIPAA's limitations are becoming starkly apparent. While HIPAA is foundational for protecting patient data, more is needed to safeguard the broader healthcare ecosystem. Today’s threats demand a proactive, multi-layered approach that goes beyond essential compliance, embracing robust, comprehensive cybersecurity measures that cover more than just electronic health/medical records. However, we often see industry leaders hesitant to invest in cybersecurity beyond the medical record—leaving critical areas of patient care vulnerable. At TANDMM, we’re committed to bridging this gap. Our solutions—spanning NextGen Detection & Response (XDR), Mobile Endpoint Security (MEDR), and beyond—empower healthcare organizations to protect the full spectrum of their operations, ensuring resilient, uninterrupted service. Healthcare leaders: It’s time to prioritize the security of all digital touchpoints in patient care, not just health records. Let’s shift the narrative and fortify the future of healthcare together. #HealthcareCybersecurity #BeyondHIPAA #CyberResilience #PatientCare #TANDMM

In today's digital landscape, especially with politics, everyone is responsible for scrutinizing the content they consume and share. The proliferation of misinformation, particularly by foreign actors, often targets sensitive societal issues to incite confusion and division, as recent cases in Pennsylvania highlighted. --Misinformation around crucial events like elections can destabilize democratic processes and erode trust in institutions many rely on. --Misinformation spreads rapidly through unchecked sharing on social media and other platforms, especially when manipulated by foreign bad actors. These actors aim to disrupt societal peace and weaken public trust in legitimate information sources, fueling unrest. Each of us plays a role in countering this by validating information with credible sources and discouraging the blind sharing of sensational or unverified claims. As a cybersecurity company, TANDMM emphasizes the importance of verification. The damage misinformation can cause mirrors many cybersecurity threats: both are preventable through awareness, vigilance, and commitment to truth. Ensuring you rely on verified information helps protect the digital integrity of communities and strengthens resilience against those seeking to exploit it for malicious purposes. Let’s work together to uphold a secure, informed, and resilient society by choosing our sources wisely and sharing only what is true and verified. #electionsecurity #fightmisinformation #checktwicebelieveonce

Award-Winning Care Doesn't Mean Award-Winning Security: Omni Family Health, known for its high-quality care, recently disclosed a data breach. This reminds us all that while delivering exceptional healthcare is crucial, it doesn't guarantee the same level of security for patient data. In today's digital age, a strong security posture is as essential as clinical excellence. Healthcare centers, especially those celebrated for their care, must recognize that cybersecurity needs attention and investment. Your ability to protect sensitive patient data is a key part of the trust you build with your community. At TANDMM, we help healthcare providers strengthen their security frameworks, ensuring that their security posture reflects the same excellence they bring to patient care. If your health center is focused on care but cybersecurity feels like a daunting afterthought, let us help bridge the gap. Caring for patients means safeguarding their data, too. #HealthcareSecurity #DataProtection #Cybersecurity #TANDMM #HealthCenters #DataPrivacy

Do you know what “quishing” is? In the ever-evolving world of cyber threats, there’s a new term you should be aware of: quishing. Much like phishing, quishing is another way that attackers try to trick you, but this time, they use QR codes as their weapon. How it works: Attackers embed malicious URLs within QR codes. When scanned, these codes can expose users to phishing sites or prompt them to download malware. This method takes advantage of the growing reliance on mobile devices and the ease of scanning QR codes, making it a subtle yet effective tool for cybercriminals. Why is this a concern? QR codes are now everywhere—from menus to advertisements—and we’ve become conditioned to scan them without thinking twice. However, these codes don't display the URL you're about to visit, making it hard to know if you're being directed to a legitimate or dangerous site. As cyber threats continue to evolve, so must our awareness and vigilance. Just as we are cautious about clicking links in unsolicited emails, we should be equally careful about scanning random QR codes. Protect yourself by following these simple steps: -Verify the source of the QR code. -Use a QR scanner that previews the URL before visiting it. -Keep your mobile device security software up to date. Stay vigilant! Cybercriminals are constantly adapting, and we must, too. Learn more about how quishing and other threats could impact you, and take steps to protect yourself today with mobile threat protection. Contact TANDMM; we can help fortify the walls.

Another Ransomware Attack Highlights the Growing Cybersecurity Crisis: The recent Comcast data breach, in which customer data was stolen in a ransomware attack on a third-party debt collection agency, is yet another reminder that no organization is immune from cyber threats—even through its vendors. As supply chains and third-party providers become common targets, the ripple effect can impact millions of customers. This incident is a stark example of why cybersecurity must be prioritized at every level—not just within your own organization but across your entire network of partners and vendors. Businesses need to ensure their data and operations are secure, not just from direct attacks but also from vulnerabilities in their supply chain. At TANDMM, we help companies and their partners stay ahead of these threats with comprehensive cybersecurity strategies, proactive threat detection, and compliance with federal standards (CMMC, FedRAMP/StateRAMP, CJIS). Don’t wait for an attack to expose weaknesses in your defenses. Is your data really secure? Let’s talk about protecting your business and its ecosystem from threats like this. #Cybersecurity #Ransomware #DataBreach #RiskManagement #VendorSecurity #TANDMM
