Hidden data lurks everywhere these days, waiting to be found. In my years at the lab, our team’s uncovered secret messages tucked into the strangest places – family photos with odd pixel patterns, music files that skip in just the…
DNS tunneling might seem clever – turning data theft into website lookups that slip past security teams. An attacker splits stolen files into bite-sized chunks, stuffs them into fake domain requests, and watches as the data flows out unnoticed. But…
In the digital age, protecting sensitive data has become a priority for organizations. Network enclaves serve as a critical strategy for safeguarding internal networks by creating highly segmented areas with strict security measures. [1] These enclaves limit access to sensitive…
