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...

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...

technology trendsenterprise communicationdocument transferAffordable Fax Solutions for Seamless Document Transfers in Enterprises
Want an affordable technology that gets documents and images from Point A to Point B more reliably than a private courier? Then get the facts straight: Facsimile, or fax, technology is not dead. Enterprises still use faxes to extend offers, advertise and promote products, and seal deals. . . .. Want an affordable technology that gets documents and images from Point A to Point B more reliably than a private courier? Then get the facts straight: Facsimile, or fax, technology is not dead. Enterprises still use faxes to extend offers, advertise and promote products, and seal deals. In addition, many courts accept faxes to file motions, and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) considers point-to-point fax secure enough to exempt it from privacy and security controls. Fax usage continues to grow at incremental rates, even in lean times. Shipments of hard-copy output devices, such as fax machines, printers, copiers and multifunction printers, increased 3.5 percent in 2003 while overall end-user spending decreased by 11.5 percent, according to Gartner. Why? Fax technology is an affordable, mature solution that gets the job done. However, if you want multiple people in your enterprise to send and receive faxes at the click of a mouse, you need more than a fax machine. You need a fax server. Fax servers have three basic parts: a PC running an operating system, fax server application software and an intelligent fax board, such as Brooktrout's TR1034 or TR114 or Intel's Dialogic/GammaFax.

For enterprises today, the network is where business takes place. Every department in an organization relies on the network for applications and for a growing share of communications, not only e-mail and instant messaging, but soon telephony as well. The mission of network security is to ensure that applications can do their jobs and that applications have the network bandwidth and the availability needed to support the operations of the company. There's also a broader perspective on network requirements. It's a holistic view that encompasses security as well as availability, bandwidth and control. We call it network integrity. This is the real goal behind securing a network. When the network is functioning properly, providing applications with the bandwidth and availability they need, then the network has integrity, and security is doing its job, even when the network is under attack.

What most people don't know is that IM and other peer-to-peer (P2P) applications carry tremendous security risks and, by their very nature, undermine the security precautions taken by many enterprises.

What most people don't know is that IM and other peer-to-peer (P2P) applications carry tremendous security risks and, by their very nature, undermine the security precautions taken by many enterprises. The saving grace, many believe, is that IM is a home-based app used by teenagers, homemakers and lonely middle-aged men. At least that's what Jeff Klein thought when he first set out to control IM traffic at his company, Sorrento Networks. He suspected that 10 of the company's 200 employees were using IM apps. Much to his surprise, the actual number was six times higher. "I was shocked at the number of people using it and the amount of productivity lost to it," says Klein, the fiber-optic networking company's information security manager (see "Management, Not Banishment"). IM is everywhere--desktops, PDAs, cellphones, pagers, etc. According to a recent Jupiter Media Metrix report, more than 81 million Internet users--mostly SOHO users--use some form of IM. The Gartner Group predicts that 70 percent of enterprise employees will use some form of free IM solution--authorized or not--by 2003. IDC estimates that more than 229 million workers around the world will use IM to do their jobs by 2005. .

Growing security concerns within the enterprise communication market are challenging chipmakers to develop advanced, silicon-based encryption techniques that will not erode processor performance. The issue of how best to do this is proving divisive. In one camp, suppliers insist that encryption algorithms are best implemented in software directly into the network processor protocol stack. Another set of networking chipmakers contends that security functions should be addressed through the use of a separate co-processor. A number of OEMs attending last week's Networld+Interop show here weighed in on the subject, and the majority appear to agree with the latter group that software alone no longer provides the answer.

Do people in your company send confidential information to business partners or remote employees via Internet email? Are they using some form of digital ID system to secure their communications?

Do people in your company send confidential information to business partners or remote employees via Internet email? Are they using some form of digital ID system to secure their communications? If they're not, any sensitive information contained in those messages is at risk as the email travels across the Internet. The reason being that any hacker with the right tools and enough determination can intercept those messages. Once intercepted, the sensitive information could be easily read and then be used for any number malevolent purposes. For example, the message could be altered and then passed on to the recipient, used for blackmail, or even passed on to competitors. The ultimate casualty of such an attack could be your company's reputation. If the idea of confidential information falling into the wrong hands scares the living daylights out of you, you'll definitely want to consider integrating some form of digital ID system into your enterprise email system. A digital ID, which is also known as a digital certificate, is made up of two main components a digital signature and an encryption scheme. The digital signature is designed to verify that the message is really from the sender and that the message hasn't been altered while it traveled across the Internet. The encryption scheme is designed to scramble the message so as to make it unreadable with out the proper decryption tool. The link for this article located at 8Wire is no longer available. .
