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...

malware threatenterprise strategybrowser selectionEnterprises Explore New Browsers Amid Internet Explorer Threats
Internet Explorer is once again at the top of the charts--in a bad way. And according to new research, a growing number of enterprises are thinking about taking their browser strategies in a different direction. . . .. Internet Explorer is once again at the top of the charts--in a bad way. And according to new research, a growing number of enterprises are thinking about taking their browser strategies in a different direction. In its quarterly study on hackers' favorite exploits, ScanSafe reported that an IE-based Trojan downloader, Exploit.HTML.Mht, was the most popular Internet exploit in Q2 2004. ScanSafe also published the name of the top virus or Trojan exploit stopped by its security systems. The winner was another IE-based Trojan program, this one helpfully named TrojanDownloader.Win32.ODown.I. IT and security managers can add both these names to the list of vulnerabilities introduced through IE, which has become an obvious target for attackers. Is it time to start thinking about a new browser? At least a few organizations think so. Although IE still makes up about 90 percent of the market, a growing number of enterprises say they are exploring browser options, and Mozilla and Firefox, among others, have made steady deployment gains over the past several months. The key to browser flexibility is application flexibility--Web sites and applications written to W3C standards allow browser choice, while other apps rely on a specific browser. If you can find a way to include W3C standards in your applications, you may have a chance to evaluate better--and safer--browser alternatives down the road.

As chief information security officer for Prudential Insurance Company of America, he's the first one likely to receive blame when a network security snafu affects his company's bottom line. But Tyminski told attendees at TechTarget's Networking Decisions conference that he rarely loses sleep over security, because, in reality, the burden for keeping the network safe isn't his alone. The 30-year Prudential veteran said that a successful enterprise network security strategy must not only be based on a rigid, company-wide policy that keeps sensitive data in and viruses out, but must also allow the security burden to be shared equally among senior executives, junior network managers and everyone in between. Most companies, Tyminski said, don't even know who is in charge of security, never mind have an established policy. By having a security officer in every major business unit, and then ensuring that those officers hold lower-level admins responsible when security problems occur, he said, a company encourages everyone to keep network defense in mind when performing day-to-day tasks.

Businesses are still not ready to take an enterprise approach to security, according to leading vendor Network Associates (NAI). Despite consolidation in the market - including the $975m buy-out of security firm Axent by anti-virus specialist Symantec last week - NAI claims customers are still divided in their strategy for ecommerce security. Symantec's acquisition will enable the combined company to develop comprehensive security products, combining lucrative anti-virus software with firewall, encryption and VPN (virtual private network) technology. But NAI anti-virus business development manager, Rob Eatwell, claims customers rejected a similar approach by NAI after its acquisition of Dr Solomon's in 1998.

The enterprise of the future will need to have a flexible, general purpose infrastructure in order to survive in an economy increasingly defined by electronic commerce, according to Jamie Lewis, CEO of The Burton Group Corp. Lewis said enterprises that continue to have rigid infrastructures that are inwardly focused and built for application specific purposes will be big losers in the digital economy. The Burton Group's Catalyst Conference is a yearly conference put on by the Midvale, Utah-based consulting firm and dedicated to evaluating the evolution of enterprise network infrastructure, especially directories and security.
