CSC has launched CSC Security CenterSM, a first-of-its-kind online interface, designed to expose security blind spots that make vital online brand assets susceptible to cybercrime.

 

CSC Security CenterSM, is powered by advanced analytics built by CSC to identify these risks, companies can take quick action to reduce real-world online threats that compromise web presence, customer data, and critical business functions, such as email.

 

CSC has been a leader in supporting brand owners for the past two decades—providing corporate domain name management, digital brand strategy, and administration of domain-related products such as domain name system (DNS), secure sockets layer (SSL) certificates, and new generic top-level domains (gTLDs).

 

“We understand the seemingly impossible job our clients face keeping their companies and brand assets safeguarded against internal and external security threats, and that the ability to conduct business is their top priority,” said Mark Calandra, CSC Digital Brand Services General Manager.

 

“Despite prevalent cybercrime, businesses often overlook the security of domain names, DNS, and SSL certificates. CSC Security CenterSM gives our clients insight into—and easy control of—these important components of their online brands.”

 

CSC Security CenterSM uses advanced proprietary algorithms to identify business-critical domains and ensure they are protected.

 

This includes making sure domains are locked at the registry and registrar levels to prevent unauthorized changes, reviewing users and access levels for correct permissions, and checking that the right DNS hosting and SSL certificates are implemented in CSC client portfolios.

 

“The domain industry is no stranger to hackers and cyber criminals taking control and modifying or redirecting domain names, putting a company’s business, revenue, and reputation at risk,” said Calandra.

 

“CSC Security Center is designed to not only tell our clients if they have a problem, but what they need to do to fix it. Our goal is to help our clients avoid these situations by providing them a single view into all these areas of risk.”

 

CSC partners with its clients to help tackle their most complex online brand challenges. CSC thrives on providing solutions that allow their clients to perform at their best.

 

“We are excited to introduce CSC Security Center to the market,” said Calandra. “It’s an essential companies won’t know they need until they see it. We believe this will redefine what domain management means.”

Chinese “threat actors” have hacked Microsoft’s SharePoint document software servers and targeted the data of the businesses using it, the firm has said.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

 

China state-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as well as China-based Storm-2603 were said to have “exploited vulnerabilities” in on-premises SharePoint servers, the kind used by firms, but not in its cloud-based service.

The US tech giant has released security updates in response and has advised all on-premises SharePoint server customers to install them.

“Investigations into other actors also using these exploits are still ongoing,” Microsoft said in a statement.

The firm said it had “high confidence” the hackers would continue to target systems which have not installed its security updates.

It added that it would update its website blog with more information as its investigation continues.

Microsoft said it had observed attacks in which hackers had sent a request to a SharePoint server “enabling the theft of the key material by threat actors”.

Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer at Mandiant Consulting firm, a division of Google Cloud, told reporter, it was “aware of several victims in several different sectors across a number of global geographies”.

Carmakal said it appeared that governments and businesses that use SharePoint on their sites were the primary target.

A number of adversaries who stole material encoded by cryptography were then able to regain ongoing access to the victims’ SharePoint data, he said.

“This was exploited in a very broad way, very opportunistically before a patch was made available. That’s why this is significant,” Carmakal said.

Carmakal said the “China-nexus actor” was deploying techniques similar to previous campaigns associated with Beijing.

Microsoft said Linen Typhoon had “focused on stealing intellectual property, primarily targeting organizations related to government, defence, strategic planning, and human rights” for 13 years.

It added that Violet Typhoon had been “dedicated to espionage”, primarily targeting former government and military staff, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, higher education, the media, the financial sector and the health sector in the US, Europe, and East Asia.

Meanwhile, Storm-2603 was “assessed with medium confidence to be a China-based threat actor”.
