system security Linux network The romanticized image of the digital nomad – a laptop on a sun-drenched balcony – rarely accounts for the actual friction of maintaining a professional development environment on the move. . The friction is amplified with Linux. We are looking for a setup that respects our kernel configurations, handles volatile network handovers, and maintains a strict security posture without the hand-holding of a consumer-grade OS – so, put simply, more than just a laptop and a sunny deck. The hardware is...

Server Securityopen-source Linux administration
open-source Linux administration Cron has existed in Unix and Linux environments for decades, handling backups, cleanup scripts, patching jobs, log rotation, monitoring tasks, and other maintenance work that administrators do not want to run manually. Most Linux servers rely on it constantly, which is exactly why attackers continue abusing it for persistence after a system has already been compromised. . Persistence through cron is not complicated. Attackers do not need a rootkit or advanced malware framework to maintain...

security breach linux A major internal repository breach at GitHub has exposed a critical and overlooked blind spot in Linux supply chain security. Kernel exploits, exposed SSH services, weak firewall rules, and vulnerable daemons dominated the Linux threat model for years, and in many environments, they still matter. But recent supply-chain incidents involving GitHub ecosystems, npm packages, and malicious developer tooling point somewhere else entirely: the developer workstation. . The breach matters because...

Security Trends access control multi-tenant
access control multi-tenant Linux administrators often face an ugly choice in the cloud: prioritize convenience and cost-efficiency by sharing infrastructure, or sacrifice those benefits for the sake of total isolation. Most modern Linux workloads don't live on their own private servers anymore. They live in shared environments like Kubernetes clusters, where multiple teams and services run side-by-side. It sounds efficient, and it usually is. . But cloud isolation isn't as ironclad as it looks on the diagram. If you...

incident response cloud security Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) has become one of the most sought-after security services in the enterprise market — and with good reason. It promises the holy grail: broad visibility across endpoints, network, cloud, email, and identity, combined with the 24/7 human expertise most organizations simply cannot build in-house. . However, the rapid growth of the market has produced a wide range of providers whose capabilities vary considerably beneath the surface. Choosing the...

security advisoryRed Hat Enterprise LinuxIT complianceRed Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1: Improved Security And Compliance Features
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.1 has now hit general availability, adding and refining capabilities for a wide range of enterprise IT needs, from helping to streamline complex infrastructure environments to improving the security stance of containerised applications. . With cloud strategies now predominantly seeking Kubernetes-based application backbones instead of virtual machines, Red Hat says its RHEL 9.1 release continues to deliver an efficient foundation for modern apps and environments. Additionally, RHEL 9.1 keeps security front and centre with pre-configured operating system images to meet organisation-specific system security needs. IT teams can specify OpenSCAP security profiles in image builder blueprint files to deliver operating system images that meet IT security and compliance requirements from installation. RHEL 9.1 also extends multi-level security support for agencies or other sensitive operations, to better document and control classification needs, as well as provide administrators with confidence operating systems are booting with validated and unmodified components. . Explore the advancements in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1, showcasing improved security protocols and streamlined operations tailored for business environments..

Red Hatsecurity focusleadershipRed Hat Leadership Adjusts Focus on Security and Hybrid Cloud Strategy
Where does Red Hat go from here? Here's what Matt Hicks, CEO, and Paul Cormier, the chairman, have to say. According to Hicks, "We'll continue to invest a lot in security. That was the foundation that Red Hat was built on. That you can get open-source innovation and deploy it with trust. Nothing has changed with that other than we certainly secure a lot more software today." . In its latest quarter, IBM saw its hybrid-cloud revenue jump 18% to $5.9 billion. Along with this, IBM saw its highest sales growth in a decade. Much of that is due to its stand-alone Red Hat division. True, Red Hat sales increased by "only" 12%, which is low by Red Hat standards but darn good by any other standard. So what will Red Hat do now that it has a new CEO , Matt Hicks, and chairman, Paul Cormier? The answer: Stay the course. In an interview, Hicks, who's been with Red Hat since 2006, said, "[We'll keep using] the same core fundamentals that we built 20-plus years ago." Why? Because the combination of Linux, open-source software, and top support, "continues to play in new markets, whether that's the shift to cloud and cloud services or to edge computing. In the next couple of quarters. we'll just focus on executing. There's great momentum right now around the open hybrid cloud." . Microsoft's cloud division saw a 22% increase this quarter, totaling $7.4 billion, as Azure's fresh management focuses on growth.. Red Hat Leadership, Cloud Innovations, Open Source Growth. .

acquisitionopen sourceSUSESUSE Acquires Rancher Labs: A New Era for Kubernetes and Cloud Strategies
SUSE's acquisition of open-source Kubernetes startup Rancher Labs closed earlier this month - and this decision could very well make the German company behind the SUSE Linux distro the hybrid cloud company to watch in 2021. . SUSE is about a year older than Red Hat. At the turn of the century, it was considered the Cadillac of Linux distros, but the company has been playing catch-up for much of this century, struggling under a series of corporate owners who did little to help it prosper. In 2018, however, after it gained independence via acquisition by the Stockholm-based private equity investor EQT Partners -- just months before Red Hat lost its independence by selling to IBM -- things started turning around for SUSE. It's been redefining itself in an apparent effort to differentiate from competitors, primarily from Red Hat, a fellow enterprise Linux distro giant, but also from VMware and the big public clouds. The link for this article located at DataCenter Knowledge is no longer available. . The merger of SUSE with Rancher Labs has the potential to elevate its status to a frontrunner in the realm of Kubernetes and hybrid cloud services..

cloud computingenterprise ITIT policiesCloud Misconceptions Affecting IT Decisions and SaaS Growth
Everyone understands the benefits of the cloud, and the recent iboss 2018 Enterprise Cloud Trends Report shows adoption is increasing, with IT decision makers (ITDMS) planning to increase their SaaS spend from 21% of the overall IT budget to 28% over the next year. Despite this vote of confidence in the cloud from IT, the findings indicate that there is still a fundamental misunderstanding about the cloud that’s creating a disconnect – and misplaced concerns – among office workers and ITDMs.. While virtually all the ITDMs surveyed (99%) say that there is at least one positive driver motivating them to explore more cloud-based solutions, they still by-and-large acknowledge that their organization’s security policies need to improve to operate fully in a cloud environment (91%). This reservation hasn’t slowed down the use of SaaS and cloud products across the enterprise; every office worker polled views cloud and SaaS favorably, often bringing these applications into the network workflow with or without the approval of IT.. Research indicates a rise in SaaS utilization even as many enterprises and IT leaders face significant security policy shortcomings.. Cloud Computing, SaaS Adoption, IT Security Policies. .

configuration managementdisaster recoverybusiness continuityDisaster Recovery Strategies for Cloud Applications: Trusting Your Provider
As a information security executive, what are your concerns related to disaster recovery and business continuity of your cloud applications? In Organizing sensitive data in the cloud, I mention configuration information for each cloud service layer (software, platform, infrastructure, and security) needs to be kept in a directory. I have a significant concern though. . Today, there are hundreds to thousands of permutations for vendors product configurations that may be deployed in the cloud. The sheer number of features supported for each product are mind-numbing. This makes disaster recovery and business continuity a nightmare. Only financial services companies invest the money necessary to replicate the applications and core infrastructure to ensure that a disaster can be effectively handled. This is too expensive for many small and medium sized corporations. What is the key to disaster recovery success? The cloud provider needs to minimize the number of product vendors and the corresponding features they deploy. This reduces the number of permutations that must be tested. Hence, a cloud user can have assurance that the cloud provider's web solution will work for them. I'll examine a cloud application scenario. How should the directory be designed to assist in deploying a cloud based application? A cloud application is supported by a web server that interfaces with a database which runs on an operating system contained within a virtual machine. The virtual machine acquires the network and storage resources it needs to support the application. The flavors of virtualized networking products and storage components also need templates associated with them. The link for this article located at CSO Online is no longer available. . Organizations must adopt key strategies for cloud disaster recovery, such as multi-region deployments, automated backups, and rigorous testing for resilience and continuity.

In light of the recent Google hacking, businesses might reconsider their cloud-based strategies. Ostensibly cloud-based services can offer business a better security profile at a lower price point than would be possible if companies built the services themselves. Take data centers, for example. Building a modern data center can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with security measures constituting a hefty price tag encompassing, but not limited to, security cards, biometrics, dry contact sensors, IP-based camera surveillance, security guards, fire suppression systems, and power generators..
