Translation: The recent statement by Chris Krebs was highly accurate, in that there were no improprieties or fraud, confirmed by all credible 2020 Election officials sworn under oath to be truthful.

Security culture and maintaining security consciousness with your entire organization and/or end-users is critical not just for identifying and responding to security threats but following security processes.

Pass-the-Cookie attacks require a successful breach of the end user's workstation, and whether they are a personal device or an organization’s, assets have become a headache to secure for CISOs. They are challenged to enforce patching on these workstations and detection systems are blindsided with partial visibility leaving them extremely vulnerable. Adding to the mix are well crafted Spear Phishing attacks that introduce malware or steal credentials through social engineering. To prevent these attacks companies need to increase security awareness to phishing attempts, employees should logout from cloud services when they are not using them and the services should be set to automatically kill sessions that are inactive, even for short periods of time. Becoming aware of your security posture is critical to discover and fix the weaknesses they find.
