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...

cyber riskssecurity challengescontainerizationExploring Containerization And DevOps Impacts On Cybersecurity Risks
Widespread adoption of containerization and DevOps has introduced new cyber risks, but organizations are showing signs of maturing and adapting to the challenges of these dynamic modern environments. . The extensive adoption of containerization and DevOps has changed enterprise software supply chain risks dramatically. In many ways, enterprise software risks have increased considerably because of the rising use of third-party software components. The encouraging news is that organizations are starting to show signs of maturing and adapting to the challenges of these newer and more dynamic environments. Software containers are here to stay. According to the “Anchore 2021 Software Supply Chain Security Report,” 65% of enterprise respondents say they deliver a “significant” number of applications within containers. Not surprisingly, cloud service providers, software makers and other technology-focused organizations lead when it comes to container use. . The widespread implementation of microservices and agile methodologies has transformed the landscape of cybersecurity threats in software development..

security solutionscyber risksbusiness technologyExploring AI and Cybersecurity: New Risks and Solutions for 2020
So much of the discussion about cybersecurity's relationship with artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) revolves around how AI and ML can improve security product functionality. However, that is actually only one dimension of a much broader collision between cybersecurity and AI. Learn about the new risks and threats posed by increased use of artificial intelligence: . As applied use of AI/ML starts to advance and spread throughout a plethora of business and technology use cases, security experts are going to need to help their colleagues in the business start to address new risks, new threat models, new domains of expertise, and, yes, sometimes new security solutions. Heading into 2020, business and technology analysts expect to see solid applications of AI and ML accelerate. This means that CISOs and security professionals will need to quickly get up to speed on AI-driven enterprise risks. Here are some thoughts from security veterans on what to expect from AI and cybersecurity in 2020. . As AI/ML technologies evolve, it's crucial to understand the rising challenges in cybersecurity and the fresh demands placed on security experts this year..

infrastructure protectioncyber riskscloud securityEmerging Challenges in Cloud Security Due to Sophisticated Threats
A second area of focus must be in the way we understand and address threats. The threat landscape has evolved dramatically in the past three years: Starting in 2008 with the growing ability of viruses and malware to evade anti-virus signature technologies; to the pandemic scale of attacks launched by criminals in 2009 for profit; to more sophisticated attacks organised by nation states in 2010.. In 2011 we must also defend against the potentially catastrophic danger of Advanced Persistent Threats perpetrated by non-state actors and terrorists. By manipulating control systems in critical infrastructure facilities, Stuxnet was the first Trojan to cross the chasm from the digital realm into the physical world. Stuxnet foreshadows what the future of cyber warfare or terrorism might hold and is the reason that next generation infrastructure initiatives like smart grid must have security embedded. According to researchers from IEEE SmartGrid Comm2010, the smart grid will offer up to 440 million potential points to be hacked. Stuxnet is a wake-up call to a very real and present danger and a stark reminder of the need for collaboration not only among businesses but between nations in an increasingly interdependent world..

data protectionsecurity awarenesscyber risksWhy Security Matters for Websites and Server Infrastructure
Your website may not be as secure as you once thought... Most people take the Internet for granted. When it comes to the Internet as we know it . If it works, that is all we care about. But the truth of the matter is that understanding the complexity of the Internet also helps you to understand why security is so overwhelmingly important, yet often overlooked. To understand the nature of the beast is to be aware that your personal websites, reseller accounts, VPS servers, Cloud Servers, Dedicated Servers, Clusters, and server farms all reside in facilities known as datacenters. A datacenter is nothing more than a purpose-built facility with special infrastructure .

data protectionhackinginternet securityMafiaboy Warns Cloud Computing Will Increase Internet Security Risks
Reformed black-hat hacker Michael Calce, better known as the 15-year-old "mafiaboy" who, in 2000, took down Websites CNN, Yahoo, E*Trade, Dell, Amazon, and eBay, says widespread adoption of cloud computing is going to make the Internet only more of a hacker haven. "It will be the fall of the Internet as we know it," Calce said today during a Lumension Security-sponsored Webcast event. "You're basically putting everything in one little sandbox...it's going to be a lot more easy to access," he added, noting that cloud computing will be "extremely dangerous." . "This is not the last you're going to hear of this," he said. Paul Henry, security and forensics expert for Lumension, says cloud computing, indeed, will open up new avenues of risk. "We haven't even handled the fundamentals of [securing it] in our existing environments," Henry said during an interview after the Webcast. "Now we're going to push it up to the cloud?" Calce, who last year published a book that chronicles how he got into hacking, his infamous, massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on the high-profile Websites, his arrest and ultimate guilty plea, as well as his views on the Internet's security problems, said today that the Internet is broken, and he sees the internal threat as one of the bigger problems for businesses.
