Security Vulnerabilities 
cisa kev vulnerability prioritization
cisa kev vulnerability prioritization Most Linux teams don't struggle to find vulnerabilities anymore. They struggle to decide which ones deserve attention first. Between daily scanner results, vendor advisories, and hundreds of new CVEs each month, the challenge isn't visibility—it's prioritization. . To solve this, organizations typically lean on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. But these aren’t competing lists. They answer two entirely different questions. While the...

Desktop Securitysecurity advisory vulnerability
security advisory vulnerability GNOME is officially shortening its standard vulnerability disclosure window from 90 days to 30 days, a change that impacts upstream maintainers, downstream Linux distributions, and system administrators in how they handle software vulnerabilities. The policy shift, announced by long-time security coordinator Michael Catanzaro , addresses modern software patching realities and a growing influx of automated submissions. . Because GNOME is the default desktop environment on several major Linux...

Today, Git servers are responsible for deployment pipelines, API tokens, SSH keys, package repositories, and the automation scripts that push code directly. Confirm that the upgrade addresses known vulnerabilities but also provides production environments. . That makes them trusted systems within the development environment and attractive targets for attackers looking to move...

Server Securitydata privacy automation
data privacy automation Every system admin has lived through the same Monday morning ritual. A queue of forty tickets, half of them password resets, permission errors, or disk space warnings that any experienced technician could resolve in under two minutes. The other half require actual judgment. For years, automation promised that software would eventually sort the two apart on its own. That promise is now being tested in production Linux environments. . Early results are reshaping how IT teams think about tier-1...

This week, Symantec has unveiled its new corporate positioning. Long regarded as one of the leaders in the security technology space, the vendor has been building out its portfolio of offerings to drive security deep into organisations, whilst maintaining the high levels of computer systems availability that companies need to keep their businesses running efficiently. Symantec's view is that a company's business information is its most strategic asset and must be protected at all times. This is not something that will be new to any business executive, especially given the number of legal and industry regulations, such as data protection and privacy, Sarbanes-Oxley and regulations regarding food safety that affect a wide variety of businesses. This has upped the ante in the need to protect information from being altered in any way - or protecting the integrity of that information.

data protectionsecurity policynetwork accessAddressing Employee Threats Through Strong Security Policies
I've discussed written security policies in the past--every business needs to have a set in place. If you don't have a written security policy, your employees remain the biggest security risk for your business. If you do have a security policy . . . . I've discussed written security policies in the past--every business needs to have a set in place. If you don't have a written security policy, your employees remain the biggest security risk for your business. If you do have a security policy in place, perhaps it's time to re-examine its wording. Case in point: Elite Web Hosting of Orlando, Florida. Elite ran a high-income business that hosted Web sites and had a security policy in place, but apparently the policy wasn't explicit enough, and eventually it cost Elite the entire business. A story last week in BusinessWeek revealed that a disgruntled former employee broke into Elite's network back in September and sent defamatory email that said the company was venturing into the porn industry. As a result, customers jumped ship by the dozen, which eventually caused Elite to fold. Elite took the perpetrator to court, but the company had trouble making the charges stick even though the ex-employee had clearly overstepped reasonable bounds. According to the story, the perpetrator didn't take any action disallowed by company policy. Furthermore, the policy didn't dictate exactly when an ex-employee's network access should be terminated. As a result, the defendant won the case. Former US Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutor Bill Cook commented in the BusinessWeek story that the first legal action a company should take against an ex-employee is to obtain a temporary retraining order barring access to company resources. That advice sounds extreme, but it comes from a federal prosecutor; I expect he knows what he's talking about. Look closely at your company security policy to see whether you've adequately covered the important items. And consider having an attorney experienced in these types of cases look overyour policy to ensure you can use it in a court of law, should that need ever arise. Until next time, have a great week.

Businesses around the world are sitting on a legal powder keg by failing to adequately protect their servers from hacker intrusion. Nick Lockett, ecommerce lawyer at Sidley & Austin, said that sites which were used by hackers to launch distributed denial of service (DoS) attacks could be liable for large compensation claims. Lockett said: "There is a distinct probability that if your site has been hijacked for a denial of service attack, then you could be liable for damages. I would definitely advise clients they have grounds to sue." The warnings follow an appeal from Michael Vatis, director of the National Infrastructure Protection Centre (NIPC) at the FBI, for dot-coms to increase security levels on the web.
