Newsletter #3 2023

Published on: October 08, 2023

Hi,

First of all, thank you for subscribing and reading the EndpointCave security newsletter.

I feel honored that you will join me on the journey of this bi-weekly Security Newsletter! My goal is to deliver valuable security content directly to you and your inbox.

But I need your help, do you have any valuable content that needs to be shared with the community? Did you create a security blog post or did you find a security-related news item that needs to be mentioned in my upcoming newsletters?

Please send me a message. You can contact me on Twitter (X) or LinkedIn.

October means Security Awareness Month, so a lot of content will be created and published. In the last two weeks, the community has created a lot of content.

First, I want to start with a question. As we all know, techniques will help us to protect ourselves or our users from hackers. But people are still humans and they make mistakes. And that is OK.

I see a lot of companies sending out phishing campaigns with the goal of testing the users.  I do not prefer this method of awareness. I do like to help them to understand cybersecurity with training and help them to recognize a phishing email. and give them a reward if they forward suspicious emails to security.

So it’s security Awareness month and my question is: What are you doing about security awareness?

The majority of Fortune 500 organizations are using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution.

Azure AD is leveraging Microsoft’s not-so-well-documented Evolved Security Service (eSTS). eSTS hides multiple security token services so that users see only Azure AD
