Providing Managed Splunk and Managed Security services for your business-specific use case maturity. Let’s just say, we don’t exactly fit the “mold”.

We have a unique blend of people with passions beyond the typical “security professional.” Some of us have been network administrators, others web developers, and those who joined Hurricane Labs without technical backgrounds. We welcome challenges, enjoy learning, and our love for the information security community is the commonality that brings us together.

A BIG Congratulations to Meredith Kasper, our Director for Technical Services on becoming the newest Leader of the Cleveland Splunk User Group!

Community-led spaces like Splunk User Groups are where real-world insights, peer learning, and strong networks are built, and Meredith is stepping up to help drive that forward in Cleveland alongside Matt Uebel, Tom Kopchak, and Mike Walker.

Excited to see the impact you’ll make, Meredith, cheers to growing the Cleveland Splunk community!

If you’re a Splunk user, security practitioner, or data enthusiast in the area, this is a great community to plug into. Learn, share, and connect with peers who speak your language.

Modern social engineering attacks are not random. They are structured, deliberate, and repeatable.

From defining a target and gathering open-source intelligence to selecting the right pretext, executing the deception, and adapting in real time, attackers follow a clear methodology, now amplified by AI-generated voices, deepfakes, and refined social tactics.

In our latest webinar recap, Hurricane Labs examines the anatomy of social engineering attacks in 2026 and outlines what organizations should be doing to identify risk earlier, reduce exposure across the human attack surface, and strengthen operational resilience.

Because when trust becomes the attack vector, visibility and preparedness matter.

Webinar Recap: The Human Attack Surface: What Every Organization Needs to Know this 2026

Firewalls and tools continue to evolve, but attackers still find their easiest way in through people.

In our recent webinar, The Human Attack Surface: What Every Business Needs to Know in 2026, our cybersecurity experts broke down:

• Real-world social engineering attacks observed across client environments

• How AI-driven reconnaissance and vishing campaigns bypass mature controls

• Why human behavior remains a critical security risk

• Practical detections and IT-level defenses teams can implement today

The key takeaway?

Technology alone isn’t enough. Strengthening your human defenses is now a business imperative.

🚨 Hurricane Labs Emergent Threat Bulletin: BRICKSTORM Malware

A new joint advisory from CISA, NSA, and Canada’s Cyber Security Centre details BRICKSTORM, a stealthy backdoor used by Chinese-nexus threat actors to maintain long-term access to VMware vSphere and Windows environments.

Threat actors seen using the BRICKSTORM backdoor often gain initial access to systems by exploiting vulnerabilities in public-facing systems, such as vulnerabilities in Ivanti Gateways (CVE-2023-46805 & CVE-2024-21887). Once on the system, threat actors use BRICKSTORM for persistent remote access to compromised systems.
