Safeguarding Patient Data: A Critical Priority in Modern Healthcare

In today’s digital age, patient data protection is more crucial than ever. Healthcare providers handle sensitive information, making robust security measures essential to prevent breaches and ensure patient trust. From encryption and access controls to secure data storage and regular audits, protecting electronic health records (EHRs) requires a multi-layered approach. Compliance with regulations such as HIPAA not only safeguards privacy but also avoids legal repercussions. By prioritizing cybersecurity and employee training, healthcare organizations can mitigate risks and maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of patient information. A proactive strategy ensures both compliance and confidence in modern healthcare systems.

“Cookie Bite” Entra ID Attack Exposes Microsoft 365: A Critical Cloud Security Wake-Up Call

Ravi Jain
“Cookie Bite” attack, a novel method where malicious browser extensions steal authentication cookies like ESTSAUTH and ESTSAUTHPERSISTENT from users of Microsoft 365 and Azure Entra ID. By leveraging these cookies, attackers can bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and hijack legitimate sessions, gaining unauthorized access to services like Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint. This attack is particularly dangerous because it operates within the browser and does not require system-level compromise, making it difficult to detect through traditional security measures. The article highlights the risks of this attack, including data exfiltration and internal impersonation, and outlines mitigation strategies such as monitoring risk-based sign-ins, implementing browser-level protections, and limiting session persistence. It also introduces Technijian's security services as a solution to protect against this and similar threats. ... Read More
