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...

Vendors/Productssecurity breach linux
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...

Vendors/Productsincident response cloud security
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...

cybersecuritycyber attackthreat managementCyber Attack Insights: Understanding Organizational Vulnerabilities
The Target and Home Depot breaches should've been wake-up calls. Instead, the bad guys remain free to wreak havoc everywhere. Last week I noted that most companies are either already hacked or could easily be hacked -- and, when they have anything worth stealing, are probably already owned by multiple APT (advanced persistent threat) groups..

Enterprises traditionally spend a significant amount of their resources securing the network perimeter, despite the fact, noted by analysts and security experts, that a majority of attacks originate from within networks.

Enterprises traditionally spend a significant amount of their resources securing the network perimeter, despite the fact, noted by analysts and security experts, thata majority of attacks originate from within networks. Ingrian's product takes a different tack, allowing small sections of application or database information to be hidden from all unauthorised users, whether within or outside the network. Karim Toubba, vice president of product management and marketing, told ZDNet UK that large companies such as banks have a relatively small amount of data on their systems that absolutely needs to be secured, so it would be inefficient to encrypt everything. "In a typical bank, the amount of information that is a significant risk to the business is rarely over1 percent of all the data. But it is that1 percent that represents the maximum impact to the business if that information is stolen," he said. The link for this article located at ZDNet.co.uk is no longer available. .

The threat of an external attack on the corporate network is now so great that companies need to consider a firewall. There is no excuse for failing to protect data on a network and there are plenty of options on the market. Earlier this year we tested the hardware products and now it is the turn of the software firewall. We asked six top vendors to provide products that deliver firewall protection to the enterprise network. The hardware alternatives offer one distinct advantage as these appliances come complete with processor, memory and embedded operating system which provides intrusion detection and prevention straight from the box. As you will have to source the hardware yourself, the soft alternative costs less but takes longer to set up. Whereas all hardware firewalls offer similar features, we found more variety and methods of operation in the software, which means it is even more important to do your research before you buy.

Companies are taking the law into their own hands to beat hackers who cost them millions of pounds each year. They are going on the offensive and adopting hacking tools and techniques themselves, according to a former director of information warfare for the US Department of Defense. Bob Ayers, director of UK security consultancy Para-Protect, says companies are frustrated by limitations in law enforcement methods, and some are now fighting back. A popular tactic is hiring experts to trace the source of a hack and find weaknesses in a culprit's system. One website was offering the facility to overload a hacker's own computer with spam email, said Ayers. The link for this article located at vnunet is no longer available. .

An older, more sophisticated hacker is out there, spreading malicious code disguised as files and standard Internet apps into corporate networks. IT managers can take every precaution-blocking inappropriate and suspicious websites, rejecting Visual Basic scripts or other Internet code and scanning each e-mail attachment for viruses, but that won't stop hackers from sneaking unknown viruses and sophisticated code past a company's antivirus and content-filtering gateways. Today's popular content-security technology ferrets out only known viruses or specified content. It's this fear of the unknown that's starting to scare some IT managers into adding behavior-blocking, or "sandboxing," technology, as a last line of defense at the desktop.
