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...

emerging technologyglobal policyethical technologyWorld Economic Forum's Global AI Regulation Plans and Innovations
We agree with Asheesh Mehra of The Next Web that regulating the application of AI, not the technology itself, will keep the use of AI fair and ethical while still fostering innovation with AI. What is your opinion on this approach? Learn more: . The World Economic Forum recently confirmed its intention to develop global rules for AI and create an AI Council that will aim to find common ground on policy between nations on the potential of AI and other emerging technologies. The trouble is that regulations designed to breathe life into the AI dream could in fact do the opposite, if not approached with care and due diligence. Regulatory compliance is important across the spectrum of business, from retail to banking, but it is also incredibly complicated, especially with new technologies being implemented into business models on an almost daily basis. Due to constantly requiring updates and revisions, regulatory bodies’ ability to enforce such rules is becoming more challenging. A similar scenario can be said for AI. With the hype around AI reaching full throttle, measures are being taken to make its use fair and ethical. The link for this article located at The Next Web is no longer available. .

cybercrimelaw enforcementemerging technologyEmerging Tech Threats: AI, Quantum Computing, and 5G's Impact on Cybercrime
Like all thinks, there are both benefits and risks associated with AI, quantum computing and 5G. Law enforcement needs to be innovative and act now in order to keep face with near future criminal threats, warns 'Do criminals dream of electric sheep' paper. . Artificial intelligence, quantum computing, 5G and the rise of the Internet of Things are just some of the emerging technologies that could aid cybercriminals in ways that could make them more dangerous than ever – and law enforcement must innovate quickly in order to help keep citizens safe, a new report has warned. Published by Europol, the 'Do criminals dream of electric sheep: how technology shapes the future of crime and law enforcement' report – the title of which references the work of science fiction writer Philip K. Dick – explores the consequences that emerging technology could have for cybercrime. The link for this article located at ZDNet is no longer available. .

security eventIT securityemerging technologyWhy ShmooCon Is Essential For Security Leaders and CSOs
Many CSOs view ShmooCon as an event of small importance. You don't see the suits and ties that are on display at RSA. In fact, to those who haven't attended, this conference is just a place where twenty-something hackers come to get drunk and throw TVs out hotel windows. Another crazy Black Hat/Defcon-caliber conference, more than one high-level security exec has told me in the past.. As with any security event, things can get rough around the edges. The security podcasters' meet-up on Saturday night was more like a Motley Crue concert than anything else. The podcasters on stage resembled the head table at a Klingon wedding. But drunken antics conference-wide were minimal, and some decent food for thought came out of the podcasting event despite the rowdiness. The larger reality is that a lot of important talks happen here that have implications up and down the IT security food chain. It's also important to note that a lot of the young ruffians who come here are the very people who find the security holes so they can be fixed. They also build a lot of the technology CSOs lobby their upper management to invest in. The link for this article located at CSO Online is no longer available. . ShmooCon offers CSOs invaluable knowledge sharing, networking, and insights into emerging threats and tools, making it a must-attend event for cybersecurity leaders.

If wireless users can endure one more round of debates about security standards, they may soon be able to buy actual products. It's no secret that built-in security functions lack current wireless local-area network products, a situation due largely to the inadequacy of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the first wireless security standard, which was introduced several years ago. But that could change as new standards take hold and the wireless LAN component market -- estimated by the Aberdeen Group, a Boston-based consulting firm, to have exceeded $1 billion in 2002 -- continues to attract heavy hitters such as Microsoft Corp., which recently said it would enter the market.

Most of the federal money made available after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is not going to information technology projects, but technology will play a larger role as agencies determine their homeland security needs during the coming months, industry experts said Jan. 7 at the Federal Convention on Emerging Technologies in Las Vegas. The Government Electronics and Information Technology Association released its annual evaluation of the federal IT market in November 2001, but all of the interviews for the information assurance study occurred before Sept. 11.
