At , we don’t believe in waiting for attacks to happen. We believe in stopping them before they even begin.

Today marks a bold step forward as we deepen our commitment to the ANZ region, bringing the full force of our AI-powered DeCYFIR platform and its 9-pillar intelligence architecture to organizations that refuse to operate in the dark. Because here’s the reality: The most dangerous threats are no longer inside your perimeter. They are forming outside, across the open web, the dark web, and complex third-party ecosystems, long before a single alert is triggered.

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡.

With , we are giving organizations the power to see what others can’t. To anticipate what others miss. And to act before damage is done.

This moment is also defined by leadership.

We are proud to welcome Rajeev Mathur as VP of Sales for ANZ, a leader who understands not just the market, but the urgency of the mission. His experience, combined with our strong regional team, will accelerate our vision of building a truly intelligence-led cyber ecosystem across ANZ.

🛡️ 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗺𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 🛡️

CYFIRMA Research and Advisory Team has found BASANAI Ransomware while monitoring various underground forums as part of our Threat Discovery Process.

Type: Ransomware
Target Technologies: Windows Systems, Network Shares, Mapped Drives, Enterprise File Storage Systems, Backup Repositories, Remote Access Services (RDP)

𝑩𝑨𝑺𝑨𝑵𝑨𝑰 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆
BASANAI ransomware has been identified as a MedusaLocker-family file-encrypting malware variant that prevents access to victim data by encrypting files and appending a distinct extension associated with the BASANAI strain. Upon ex*****on, the malware systematically encrypts files across the infected system and drops a ransom note, typically named “README.txt”, informing victims of the compromise. Analysis indicates that the ransomware leverages strong cryptographic algorithms (commonly AES combined with RSA, consistent with MedusaLocker variants) to ensure that files cannot be decrypted without attacker-controlled keys. The operators claim that not only local files but also network shares and potentially backups may be impacted, increasing operational disruption. In addition to encryption, the threat actors assert that sensitive data may have been exfiltrated, introducing a double extortion element where victims face both data loss and potential public exposure. Victims are instructed to contact the attackers via the provided communication channels to negotiate payment, typically in cryptocurrency. At present, no confirmed public decryption tool is available for this variant, and recovery without attacker cooperation remains unlikely.

🛡️ 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 🛡️

This week, the “𝑹𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒙𝑹𝑴𝑴” malware is in focus.

Type: Backdoor| Objectives: Persistence | Target Technology: Windows OS | Target Geography: Global

Overview of Operation RodexRMM Malware
The analysed sample, identified as RodexRMM, demonstrates a structured and stealth- oriented set of behaviours indicative of a controlled malicious operation. Its activity suggests a clear intention to establish persistence within the infected environment while operating in a manner that closely mimics legitimate system processes. By utilizing standard system paths and interacting with core components, the malware attempts to remain inconspicuous and avoid raising immediate suspicion. Additionally, it gathers key system information, likely to assess the environment and prepare for subsequent actions.

Furthermore, RodexRMM exhibits multiple defense evasion characteristics, including the use of obfuscation and strategic interaction with system configurations and registry settings. These actions may contribute to weakening security visibility or bypassing detection mechanisms. The observed behaviour also indicates an awareness of analysis environments, suggesting that the malware may actively attempt to evade sandboxing or monitoring tools, thereby prolonging its presence on the compromised system.

The communication patterns associated with RodexRMM reveal outbound connections to external services, potentially to obtain system-related information such as public IP data. This, combined with its capability to execute processes and manage system activities, suggests the presence of a command-and-control mechanism. Overall, the malware reflects a level of sophistication consistent with threats designed for persistence, reconnaissance, and remote control, posing a notable risk in both targeted and opportunistic attack scenarios.

In this installment, discover why Predictive Threat Intelligence lets you predict timing and stop threats before sophistication even matters.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

• Only 3-5% of breaches involve vulnerability exploitation - yet 23-33% start with exploited vulnerabilities.

• 30% of vulnerabilities are exploited within 24 hours of disclosure.

• Edge device exploitation? Up from 3-22%, with median remediation lagging at 30+ days.

𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟮: 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 & 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺

Attackers move fast to seize opportunities - your intelligence must move faster. Automation and AI will supercharge speed in 2026 and beyond. Focus on high-risk assets, accelerate remediation, and outpace the code.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗲:

• 40-55% of breaches will begin with known vulnerabilities.

• High-value CVEs: 10 days from disclosure to mass exploitation.

• “Zero-day quality” attacks? Increasingly unnecessary.

Attackers exploit weaknesses before you react. Stay ahead with Predictive External Threat Landscape Management.

The Forrester External Threat Intelligence Service Providers Landscape, Q1 2026 report is out, and CYFIRMA is among the global providers acknowledged!

But here's why this should matter to you as a defender: Most security teams are still fighting yesterday's threats. Alerts pile up. Context is missing. The attacker is already three steps ahead. Forrester's framework for external threat intelligence centres on exactly the capabilities that close this gap, predicting attacker intent, contextualising risk to the business, and enabling intelligence-led decisions rather than reactive ones.

That's the problem CYFIRMA's pre-emptive defense platform was built to solve. Being recognised in this Forrester report isn't the destination, it's validation that the approach is right. And the mission continues: help organisations see threats the way attackers see them, before they strike.
