## WA SOC - Recent Threat Activity (March 2024)
## WA SOC - Recent Threat Activity (April 2024)

Based on recent high impact incidents seen by the WA SOC, security teams should be focusing on the below areas of improvement:

!!! warning "WASOC Guidance targeted on recent threat activity"
- Phishing campaigns that attempt to impersonate legitimate webpages ["Spoofing"](https://www.mimecast.com/content/website-spoofing/) of organisations
- Lessons from XZ Utils: Achieving a More Sustainable Open Source Ecosystem (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/lessons-xz-utils-achieving-more-sustainable-open-source-ecosystem)
- Secure by Design [CISA Guidance on SBOM](https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-10/SecureByDesign_1025_508c.pdf)
- Software Bill of Materials [SBOM](https://www.cisa.gov/sbom)
- Publication on the [SVR](https://www.cyber.gov.au/about-us/view-all-content/alerts-and-advisories/svr-cyber-actors-adapt-tactics-initial-cloud-access) activity targeting Government cloud infrastructure. Review and adapt the [SCuBA Toolset](https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/services/secure-cloud-business-applications-scuba-project) to validate security controls.

Recent WA SOC advisories this month worth staying across include:

- [Fortinet Services](https://soc.cyber.wa.gov.au/advisories/20240313002-Fortinet-Updates-Multiple-Products/)
- [XZ Utility](https://soc.cyber.wa.gov.au/advisories/20240402002-Supply-Chain-Compromise-Affecting-XZ-Utils-Data-Compression-Library/)
- [Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Command Injection Vulnerability](https://soc.cyber.wa.gov.au/advisories/20240415001-PaloAlto-Networks-PAN-OS-Command-Injection-Vulnerability/)

- [ArcaneDoor Exploiting Cisco ASA Vulnerabilities](https://soc.cyber.wa.gov.au/advisories/20240426001-ArcaneDoor-Exploiting-Cisco-ASA-Vulnerabilities/)

Agencies should review the latest [NIST CSF 2.0](https://www.nist.gov/quick-start-guides) and the new [AI Policy and Assurance Framework](https://www.wa.gov.au/government/publications/wa-government-artificial-intelligence-policy-and-assurance-framework).
