The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released information surrounding the guilty plea of Mexican businessman Carlos Guerrero and his conspiracy to sell and use hacking tools that were manufactured by companies in Italy, Israel, and elsewhere. Guerrero had a bevy of companies that he stood up for this purpose, with the Tijuana-based Elite de Carga being among the most prominent.
Of particular note, according to court documents, which included his plea agreement, Guerrero and a co-conspirator, Daniel Moreno, together in August 2014 met with representatives of “Italian Company A” (believed to be Hacking Team) in San Diego, where the Italians demonstrated their devices and their capability to intercept wireless communications and to geolocate targets of interest. Elite de Carga would sell these capabilities to the Mexican state government of Baja and Durango for what was tacitly understood to be for political as well as law enforcement purposes.

Forcepoint One combines zero trust and SASE under a single umbrella
Read Time:45 Second
A new platform aimed at reducing the need for multiple security vendors to protect an organization’s digital assets was announced Tuesday by Forcepoint. Its Forcepoint One is an all-in-one cloud platform that simplifies enterprise security by integrating zero trust and secure access service edge (SASE) technologies so security teams can manage one set of policies through a single console.
According to Forcepoint, the platform makes it easier for organizations to embrace SASE by putting crucial security services such as secure web gateway, remote browser isolation, content disarm and reconstruction, cloud access security broker and zero trust network access under a single umbrella. The company claims that the platform also eliminates the need for products to block malware and protect sensitive data across business applications and on BYOD devices by supporting integrated advanced threat protection and data loss prevention.
