The dark side of 2023 Cybersecurity: Malware evolution and Cyber threats
(lien direct)
In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, 2023 witnessed a dramatic surge in the sophistication of cyber threats and malware. AT&T Cybersecurity Alien Labs reviewed the big events of 2023 and how malware morphed this year to try new ways to breach and wreak havoc. This year\'s events kept cybersecurity experts on their toes, from expanding malware variants to introducing new threat actors and attack techniques. Here are some of the most compelling developments, highlighting malware\'s evolving capabilities and the challenges defenders face. Highlights of the year: Emerging trends and notable incidents As the year unfolded, several trends and incidents left an indelible mark on the cybersecurity landscape: Exploiting OneNote for malicious payloads Cybercriminals leveraged Microsoft OneNote to deliver many malicious payloads to victims, including Redline, AgentTesla, Quasar RAT, and others. This previously underutilized Office program became a favored tool due to its low suspicion and widespread usage. SEO poisoning and Google Ads Malicious actors resorted to SEO poisoning tactics, deploying phishing links through Google Ads to deceive unsuspecting victims. These links led to cloned, benign web pages, avoiding Google\'s detection and remaining active for extended periods. Prominent malware families, including Raccoon Stealer and IcedID, capitalized on this strategy. Exploiting geopolitical events Cybercriminals exploited the geopolitical climate, particularly the Middle East conflict, as a lure for their attacks. This trend mirrored the previous year\'s Ukraine-related phishing campaigns and crypto scams. APTs: State-sponsored espionage continues to present challenges Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) continued to pose a significant threat in 2023: Snake: CISA reported on the Snake APT, an advanced cyber-espionage tool associated with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). This malware had been in use for nearly two decades. Volt Typhoon: A campaign targeting critical infrastructure organizations in the United States was attributed to Volt Typhoon, a state-sponsored actor based in China. Their focus lay on espionage and information gathering. Storm-0558: This highly sophisticated intrusion campaign, orchestrated by the Storm-0558 APT from China, infiltrated the email accounts of approximately 25 organizations, including government agencies. Ransomware\'s relentless rise Ransomware remained a prevalent and lucrative threat throughout the year: Cuba and Snatch: Ransomware groups like Cuba and Snatch targeted critical infrastructure in the United States, causing concern for national security. ALPHV/BlackCat: Beyond SEO poisoning, this group compromised the computer systems of Caesar and MGM casinos. They also resorted to filing complaints with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against their victims, applying additional pressure to pay ransoms. Exploiting new vulnerabilities: Cybercriminals wasted no time exploiting newly discovered vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2023-22518 in Atlassian\'s Confluence, CVE-2023-4966 (Citrix bleed), and others. These vulnerabilities became gateways for ransomware attacks. Evolving ransom Ransomware Spam Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Prediction Guam ★★★

ProofPoint.webp 2024-01-24 06:00:39 5 Common Privilege Escalation Attack Techniques with Examples (lien direct) Privilege escalation is often a top aim for cybercriminals as they traverse the attack chain to exploit your IT crown jewels. It lets them achieve critical steps in the attack chain, like maintaining persistence and moving laterally within an environment. Once they\'ve initially compromised a host, they will seek to acquire higher privileges to gain access to valuable assets and create other mischief or damage.  This blog post explains why privilege escalation is a significant challenge for today\'s businesses. We also present five common techniques, along with brief examples of each. And we offer a real-world example to underscore how bad actors use privilege escalation as a key intermediary step to carry out attacks.  Understanding privilege escalation  In cybersecurity, privilege escalation is the process by which an attacker gains access or permissions on a system that is at a higher level of privilege than what they had at the time of the initial compromise.   Attackers look to escalate privileges in one of two ways. They either do this horizontally or vertically.  Horizontal example  This approach involves an attacker moving laterally within a network by compromising accounts at the same privilege level. As they move across the network, they can discover more targets and find more valuable data or systems.   Here\'s an example of how a horizontal privilege escalation attack might unfold:   An attacker uses stolen credentials to access a host with regular privileges within a company\'s network.  The attacker identifies a file server within the network that has sensitive data. Multiple users can access it, but they can only read and write files.  The attacker takes advantage of this shared access. They modify files within the shared file system, injecting malicious code or replacing critical configuration files.   This activity may go unnoticed for a time because legitimate users regularly modify files on the shared file server. As other users interact with the compromised files, the attacker can increase the number of compromised accounts and hosts, collect sensitive data and prepare to launch a more widescale attack.  Vertical example  In this approach, attackers exploit identity vulnerabilities within a system or application to escalate their privileges from a basic user account to a privileged user. They might use social engineering tactics like phishing at first to trick users into handing over their login credentials.  Here is how a vertical privilege escalation attack might play out:  An attacker uses a compromised user account to gain access to a targeted system.  They identify a known vulnerability in an application or service that is running on the system.   The attacker creates and deploys an exploit to take advantage of this vulnerability. In this case, they take advantage of a flaw in the code that allows a user to escalate privileges without being authorized.  The attacker can now change their privileges to a higher level, like system admin.   Now that they have a lot of control over the system, the attacker can carry out a range of malicious actions. For example, they might change system configurations or steal data.  Why it is important to prevent privilege escalation attacks   The examples above make it clear that privilege escalation-enabled attacks can have a significant impact on businesses. To underscore the risk further, here are several other reasons these attacks are a cause for concern:  Unauthorized access to and exposure of sensitive data  Compromised user accounts and user identities  Manipulated systems and configurations  Disrupted business operations  Data tampering and manipulation, such as with ransomware  Legal and regulatory repercussions  Reputational damage  5 Common privilege escalation attack techniques and examples  Now that you understand the two main categories of privilege escalation and why you must be vigilant in defending against these techniques, let\'s look at five tactics that bad actors might use in Tool Vulnerability Threat Commercial ★★★

L'analyse de Proofpoint \\ de la Forbes Global 2000 et leur adoption du protocole ouvert DMARC (reporting et conformité d'authentification des messages basés sur le domaine), un protocole d'authentification largement utilisé qui aide à garantir l'identité des communications par e-mail et protège les noms de domaine du site Web contre le fait d'êtreusurpé et mal utilisé, montre: Plus d'un quart (27%) du Global 2000 n'a aucun enregistrement DMARC en place, indiquant qu'ils ne sont pas préparés aux prochaines exigences d'authentification par e-mail. 69% stupéfiants ne bloquent pas activement les e-mails frauduleux en atteignant leurs clients;Moins d'un tiers (31%) ont mis en œuvre le plus haut niveau de protection pour rejeter les e-mails suspects en atteignant leurs clients de réception. 27% ont mis en œuvre une politique de moniteur, ce qui signifie que des e-mails non qualifiés peuvent toujours arriver dans la boîte de réception du destinataire;et seulement 15% ont mis en œuvre une politique de quarantaine pour diriger des e-mails non qualifiés aux dossiers spam / indésirables. L'authentification par e-mail est une meilleure pratique depuis des années.DMARC est l'étalon-or pour se protéger contre l'identité des e-mails, une technique clé utilisée dans la fraude par e-mail et les attaques de phishing.Mais, comme le révèle notre analyse du Global 2000, de nombreuses entreprises doivent encore la mettre en œuvre, et celles qui sont à la traîne de l'adoption du DMARC devront désormais rattraper leur retard rapidement s'ils souhaitent continuer à envoyer des e-mails à leurs clients.Les organisations qui ne se contentent pas ne pourraient pas voir leurs e-mails acheminés directement vers les dossiers de spam des clients ou rejeté.

The Threat Landscape Is Always Changing: What to Expect in 2024
(lien direct)
Gather \'round, cyber friends, and I\'ll let you in on a little secret: no one knows what the Next Big Thing on the threat landscape will be. But we can look back on 2023, identify notable changes and actor behaviors, and make educated assessments about what 2024 will bring.   This month on the DISCARDED podcast my co-host Crista Giering and I sat down with our Threat Research leaders Daniel Blackford, Alexis Dorais-Joncas, Randy Pargman, and Rich Gonzalez, leaders of the ecrime, advanced persistent threat (APT), threat detection, and Emerging Threats teams, respectively. We discussed what we learned over the last year, and what\'s on the horizon for the future. While the discussions touched on different topics and featured different opinions on everything from artificial intelligence (AI) to living off the land binaries (LOLBins) to vulnerability exploitation to ransomware, there were some notable themes that are worth writing down. We can\'t say for sure what surprises are in store, but with our cyber crystals balls fully charged – and a deep knowledge of a year\'s worth of threat actor activity based on millions of email threats per day – we can predict with high confidence what\'s going to be impactful in the coming year.   1: Quick response (QR) codes will continue to proliferate  2023 was the year of the QR code. Although not new, QR codes burst on the scene over the last year and were used in many credential phishing and malware campaigns. The use was driven by a confluence of factors, but ultimately boiled down to the fact that people are now way more accustomed to scanning QR codes for everything from instructions to menus. And threat actors are taking advantage. Proofpoint recently launched new in-line sandboxing capabilities to better defend against this threat, and our teams anticipate  seeing more of it in 2024. Notably, however, Dorais-Joncas points out that QR codes still just exist in the realm of ecrime – APT actors have not yet jumped on the QR code bandwagon. (Although, some of those APT actors bring ecrime energy to their campaigns, so it\'s possible they may start QR code phishing, too.)  2: Zero-day and N-day vulnerability exploitation  A theme that appeared throughout our conversations was the creative use of vulnerabilities – both known and unreported – in threat actor activity. APT actors used a wide variety of exploits, from TA473 exploiting publicly-facing webmail servers to espionage actors using a zero-day in an email security gateway appliance that ultimately forced users to rip out and reinstall physical hardware. But ecrime actors also exploited their share of vulnerabilities, including the MOVEit file transfer service vulnerability from the spring of 2023 that had cascading repercussions, and the ScreenConnect flaw announced in the fall of 2023 – both of which were used by ecrime actors before being officially published. Proofpoint anticipates vulnerability exploitation will continue, driven in part by improved defense making old school techniques – like macro-enabled documents – much less useful, as well as the vast financial resources now available to cybercriminals that were once just the domain of APT. Pargman says the creativity from ecrime threat actors is a direct response of defenders imposing cost on our adversaries.   3: Continuing, unexpected behavior changes  Avid listeners of the podcast know I have regularly said the ecrime landscape is extremely chaotic, with TA577 demonstrating the most chaotic vibes of them all. The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of some of the most sophisticated actors continue to change. The cost imposed on threat actors that Pargman mentioned – from law enforcement takedowns of massive botnets like Qbot to improved detections and automated defenses – have forced threat actors, cybercriminals in particular, to regularly change their behaviors to figure out what is most effective. For example, recently Proofpoint has observed the increased use of: traffic dis Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Prediction ★★★

Best practices to implement self-doxxing in organizations
(lien direct)
The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author.  AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article.  Organizations face a constant challenge to balance transparency and security in today\'s rapidly evolving digital landscape. One emerging concept that has gained traction in recent years is the practice of "self-doxxing." This seemingly counterintuitive term refers to the deliberate and controlled sharing of an organization\'s information, often sensitive, to enhance transparency, accountability, and trust. While it might sound paradoxical to disclose information that could be exploited by malicious actors voluntarily, the strategic implementation of self-doxing can indeed be a powerful tool in an organization\'s arsenal. What does it mean by self-doxxing? Self-doxing, short for "self-documenting," is a proactive approach where organizations voluntarily share information about themselves, their operations, and their practices with the public, stakeholders, and competitors. This practice is in direct contrast to traditional security measures that aim to limit the exposure of sensitive data. Traditionally, data privacy measures rely on endpoint security tools such as VPNs, antivirus, password managers, etc, to ensure security. These tools help implement a zero-trust security module within an organization to ensure data privacy and security. In contrast to this traditional zero-trust security method, self-doxing is a strategic move to foster transparency, build trust, and engage with a broader audience. It\'s about taking control of the narrative surrounding your organization and providing the public with a clearer picture of who you are and what you stand for. By voluntarily sharing information, organizations aim to shape perceptions, demonstrate accountability, and minimize the potential for unauthorized leaks or misinformation. However, successful self-doxxing requires careful planning and a deep understanding of what to share and protect. Why should you implement self-doxxing in an organization? Self-doxing, when executed thoughtfully, offers many advantages for organizations looking to thrive in a digitally connected world.  Enhanced transparency: One of the primary benefits of self-doxxing is the promotion of transparency. By willingly sharing information about your organization\'s operations, practices, and ethical standards, you signal stakeholders and the public that you have nothing to hide. This transparency can foster trust and credibility, making your organization more attractive to customers, investors, and partners.  Reputation management: Self-doxxing allows you to control the narrative about your organization. By providing accurate and comprehensive information, you can preemptively address potential issues, correct misunderstandings, and mitigate reputational risks. This proactive approach to reputation management can be invaluable in an age where public perception can impact an organization\'s success.  Stakeholder engagement: Sharing information about your organization can also enhance stakeholder engagement, including customers, employees, and shareholders. When people feel that an organization is open and honest about its practices, they are more likely to engage positively with it.  Competitive advantage: Self-doxxing can also provide a competitive edge. By openly sharing your organization\'s strengths, innovations, and accomplishments, you can demonstrate industry leadership and attract talent, partners, and customers who align with your values and goals.  Regulatory compliance:  In many industries, regulatory compliance requ Tool Vulnerability ★★★

Four cybersecurity trends you should know for 2024

This is part three of a three-part series written by AT&T Cybersecurity evangelist Theresa Lanowitz. It’s intended to be future-looking, provocative, and encourage discussion. The author wants to assure you that no generative AI was used in any part of this blog. Part one: Unusual, thought-provoking predictions for cybersecurity in 2024 Part two: Cybersecurity operations in 2024: The SOC of the future While there are many big things to prepare for in 2024 (see first two posts), some important smaller things don’t get the same attention. Yet, these things are good to know and probably won’t come as a huge surprise. Because they, too, are evolving, it’s important not to take your eye off the ball. Compliance creates a new code of conduct and a new need for compliance logic. Compliance and governance are often overlooked when developing software because a different part of the business typically owns those responsibilities. That is all about to change. Cybersecurity policies (internal and external, including new regulations) need to move upstream in the software development lifecycle and need compliance logic built in to simplify the process. Software is designed to work globally; however, the world is becoming more segmented and parsed. Regulations are being created at country, regional, and municipal levels. To be realistic, the only way to handle compliance is via automation. To avoid the constant forking of software, compliance logic will need to be a part of modern applications. Compliance logic will allow software to function globally but adjust based on code sets that address geographic locations and corresponding regulations. In 2024, expect compliance logic to become a part of the larger conversation regarding compliance, governance, regulation, and policy. This will require cross-functional collaboration across IT, security, legal, line of business, finance, and other organizational stakeholders. MFA gets physical. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a way of life. The benefits far outweigh the slight inconvenience imposed. Think about why MFA is so critical. MFA helps with authorization and authentication for mission-critical and safety-critical work. It prevents unauthorized access to critical information. MFA is an easy-to-implement step for good cyber hygiene. Our current way of thinking about MFA is generally based on three things: something you know, a passcode; something you have, a device; and something you are, a fingerprint, your face, etc. Now, let’s take this a step further and look at how the something you are part of MFA can improve safety. Today, MFA routinely accepts fingerprints, facial recognition, or retina scans. That’s just the beginning. MFA can go a step further in helping with business outcomes; here’s how. Biometric and behavioral MFA can help with identifying the veracity of an individual as well as the fitness to perform a function. For example, a surgeon can access the hospital, restricted areas, and the operating room through MFA verifications. But, once in the operating room, how is it determined that the surgeon is fit to perform the surgical task? Behavioral MFA will soon be in play to ensure the surgeon is fit by adding another layer of something you are. Behavioral MFA will determine fitness for a task by identifying things such as entering a series of numbers on a keypad, handwriting on a tablet, or voice analysis. The goal is to compare current behavior with past behavior to ensur Tool Threat Prediction ★★★

Security Brief: TA866 Returns with a Large Email Campaign

What happened  Proofpoint researchers identified the return of TA866 to email threat campaign data, after a nine-month absence. On January 11, 2024, Proofpoint blocked a large volume campaign consisting of several thousand emails targeting North America. Invoice-themed emails had attached PDFs with names such as “Document_[10 digits].pdf” and various subjects such as “Project achievements”.  The PDFs contained OneDrive URLs that, if clicked, initiated a multi-step infection chain eventually leading to the malware payload, a variant of the WasabiSeed and Screenshotter custom toolset.  Screenshot of an email with an attached PDF.  If the user clicked on the OneDrive URL inside the PDF, they were:  Served a JavaScript file hosted on OneDrive.  The JavaScript, if run by the user, downloaded and ran an MSI file.   The MSI file executed an embedded WasabiSeed VBS script.  The WasabiSeed VBS script then downloaded and executed a second MSI file as well as continued polling for additional payloads in a loop. The additional payloads are currently unknown.   Finally, the second MSI file contained components of the Screenshotter screenshot utility which took a screenshot of the desktop and sent it the C2.  Attack chain summary: Email > PDF > OneDrive URL > JavaScript > MSI / VBS (WasabiSeed) > MSI (Screenshotter). The attack chain was similar to the last documented email campaign using this custom toolset observed by Proofpoint on March 20, 2023. The similarities helped with attribution. Specifically, TA571 spam service was similarly used, the WasabiSeed downloader remained almost the same, and the Screenshotter scripts and components remained almost the same. (Analyst Note: While Proofpoint did not initially associate the delivery TTPs with TA571 in our first publication on TA866, subsequent analysis attributed the malspam delivery of the 2023 campaigns to TA571, and subsequent post-exploitation activity to TA866.)  One of the biggest changes in this campaign from the last observed activity was the use of a PDF attachment containing a OneDrive link, which was completely new. Previous campaigns used macro-enabled Publisher attachments or 404 TDS URLs directly in the email body.  Screenshot of “TermServ.vbs” WasabiSeed script whose purpose is to execute an infinite loop, reaching out to C2 server and attempting to download and run an MSI file (empty lines were removed from this script for readability).  Screenshot of “app.js”, one of the components of Screenshotter. This file runs “snap.exe”, a copy of legitimate IrfanView executable, (also included inside the MSI) to save a desktop screenshot as “gs.jpg”.  Screenshot of “index.js”, another Screenshotter component. This code is responsible for uploading the desktop screenshot ”gs.jpg” to the C2 server.  Attribution  There are two threat actors involved in the observed campaign. Proofpoint tracks the distribution service used to deliver the malicious PDF as belonging to a threat actor known as TA571. TA571 is a spam distributor, and this actor sends high volume spam email campaigns to deliver and install a variety malware for their cybercriminal customers.  Proofpoint tracks the post-exploitation tools, specifically the JavaScript, MSI with WasabiSeed components, and MSI with Screenshotter components as belonging to TA866. TA866 is a threat actor previously documented by Proofpoint and colleagues in [1][2] and [3]. TA866 is known to engage in both crimeware and cyberespionage activity. This specific campaign appears financially motivated.  Proofpoint assesses that TA866 is an organized actor able to perform well thought-out attacks at scale based on their availability of custom tools, and ability and connections to purchase tools and services from other actors.  Why it matters  The following are notable characteristics of TA866\'s return to email threat data:  TA866 email campaigns have been missing from the landscape for over nine months (although there are indications that the actor was meanwhile Spam Malware Tool Threat ★★

These trends have made protecting sensitive data more complicated and demanding.    What\'s clear is that organizations are struggling to rise to the challenge. Between 2020 and 2022, insider threats increased by a staggering 44%. And the costs of addressing them increased 34%-from $11.45 million to $15.38 million.   This upswing mainly comes down to two factors. For starters, most security teams have little visibility into people-caused data loss and insider-led security incidents. And few have the tools or resources to handle it.   That\'s why Gartner sees platforms for data loss prevention and insider threat management (DLP and ITM) increasingly converging. Businesses need tools and processes that give them holistic, contextualized insights that take user behavior into account. It\'s no longer enough to focus on data-and where it\'s moving.  To prevent data loss, industry leaders need to take a people-centric approach that expands beyond traditional drivers like compliance. In this blog post, we\'ll explore some basics for designing an ITM and DLP program. This can help you approach information protection in a way that\'s built for how modern organizations work.  Why information protection is so challenging   Risks are everywhere in today\'s complex landscape. Here are a few changes making it difficult for companies to protect their data.  More data is open to exposure and theft. As businesses go digital, more data is being generated than ever before. According to IDC\'s Worldwide Global DataSphere Forecast, the total amount of data generated data will double from 2022 to 2026. That means malicious insiders will have more access to more sensitive data through more channels. It will also be easier for careless users to expose data inadvertently. Plus, any security gap between channels, any misconfiguration or any accidental sharing of files can give external attackers more opportunities to steal data.  New data types are hard to detect. Data isn\'t just growing in volume. It\'s also becoming more diverse, which makes it harder to detect and control. With traditional DLP program tools, data typically fits within very tightly defined data patterns (such as payment card number). But even then, it generates too many false positives. Now, key business data is more diverse and can be graphical, tabular or even source code.   The network security perimeter no longer exists. With more employees and contractors working remotely, the security perimeter has shifted from brick and mortar to one based on people. Add to the mix bring-your-own-device (BYOD) practices, where the personal and professional tend to get blurred, and security teams have even more risks to contend with. In a survey for the 2023 State of the Phish report from Proofpoint, 72% of respondents said they use one or more of their personal devices for work.  Employee churn is high. Tech industry layoffs in 2022 and 2023 have seen many employees leaving and joining businesses at a rapid rate. The result is greater risk of data exfiltration, infiltration and sabotage. Security leaders know it, too-39% of chief information security officers rated improving information protection as the top priority over the next two years.  Security talent is in short supply. A lack of talent has left many security teams under-resourced. And the situation is likely to get worse. In 2023, the cybersecurity workforce gap hit an all-time high-there are 4 million more jobs than there are skilled workers.  DLP vs. ITM  What\'s the difference between DLP and ITM? Both DLP and ITM work to prevent data loss. But they achieve it in different ways.  DLP tracks data movement and exfiltration  DLP monitors file activity and scans content to see whether users are handling sen Tool Threat Cloud Technical ★★

Unusual, thought-provoking predictions for cybersecurity in 2024

This is part one of a three-part series written by AT&T Cybersecurity evangelist Theresa Lanowitz. It’s intended to be future-looking and provocative and to encourage discussion. The author wants to assure you that no generative AI was used in any part of this blog. Entering 2024 brings us well into the third decade of the new millennium. Do you recall how tentatively and maybe naively we approached the year 2000, otherwise known as Y2K? We stressed over two bytes in COBOL programs and regression tested every line of code to ensure our systems were ready to go at midnight on January 1, 2000. The clock struck 12, and the world breathed a collective sigh of relief – we survived the predicted digital disaster. And just like that, off we went - to create web, mobile, and cloud apps, to turn embedded software into the Internet of Things (IoT), and to democratize computing in a way that was only a dream just 23 years ago. With massive shifts and changes in computing in the wake, it’s time to ask: where are we going in 2024, and what cybersecurity opportunities and challenges lie ahead? Maturing the industry: It’s the business that matters. Cybersecurity is not about fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). It is about delivering business outcomes such as boarding a plane quicker to mitigate flight delay penalties, heating or cooling my house efficiently to manage energy consumption in various climates, or reducing waste in manufacturing to minimize product recalls. Notice there was no mention of security, data, network, coding, or anything remotely IT-centric or technical in the stated business outcomes above. We must aspire to this when thinking about our businesses and cybersecurity. It must be about the business first, advancing the customer experience, and removing friction. Cybersecurity is now a business requirement. For cybersecurity to be part of business planning, cybersecurity teams need to become members of the business teams. Over the past three years, the cybersecurity market has rapidly matured. We are in the midst of market consolidation, with individual point products being acquired and integrated into platform offerings. These platform offerings will continue to evolve by acquiring smaller vendors, partnering, and innovating. The platform vendors clearly see the need for cybersecurity to be a part of the business conversation and want to act as a business partner and trusted advisor, not merely a product provider. Cybersecurity budgets are changing, creating an approach to get funding differently. This year, our research revealed an unexpected change: money is being redistributed as computing moves closer to the data source. Our respondents reported they are investing in new computing development – in this case, edge computing - in a way that’s different from what we’ve seen in the past. They are proactively investing in strategy and planning, the network, application development, and security to create a balanced, collaborative ecosystem. The big surprise isn’t a new secret weapon or killer application. The surprise is what’s needed: a new way of thinking about resource allocation. You’ll still need your usual hardware, software, storage, and security buckets. How you balance those expenses is what’s different. As computing moves closer to the data source, every deployment should contribute to the b Tool Mobile Prediction Cloud Technical ★★★
