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...

security threatDDoS attackthreat managementTop Cloud Security Threats And DDoS Attack Insights From Experts
Cloud security threats come in all shapes and sizes, so we asked eight experts to weigh in on what they see as the top threat to cloud security. The answers run the gamut, but in all cases, our cloud security panelists believe that these threats can be addressed. . The biggest security threat to the cloud is application-layer distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks threaten the very availability of cloud infrastructure itself. If a cloud service is not even available, all other security measures, from protecting access to ensuring compliance, are of no value whatsoever.

cyber threatsinternet securityexpert insightsAT&T Launches Internet Security News Network for 24/7 Coverage
Security experts at AT&T are about to take a page from CNN's playbook. Within the next year they will begin delivering a video streaming service that will carry Internet security news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to the executive in charge of AT&T Labs. . The service, which currently goes by the code name Internet Security News Network, (ISN) is under development at AT&T Labs, but it will be offered as an additional service to the company's customers within the next nine to 12 months, according to Hossein Eslambolchi, president of AT&T’s Global Networking Technology Services and AT&T Labs. ISN will look very much like Time Warner's Cable News Network, except that it will be broadcast exclusively over the Internet, Eslambolchi said. "It's like CNN," he said. "When a new attack is spotted, we'll be able to offer constant updates, monitoring, and advice." The online video channel will feature interviews with AT&T security professionals, as well as experts from a variety of different organizations like network hardware vendors and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT). All the while, news on the latest security vulnerabilities will stream across the bottom of the screen, much like the ticker symbols used by TV news networks, Eslambolchi said. "You will see... what viruses exist and where they came from," he said. The link for this article located at InfoWorld is no longer available. .

While the majority of readers think that wireless networks are generally insecure, we all know that the human factor is the biggest problem. It is up to us, the users and the administrators, to watch the new technologies and to keep updated with the events - which will finally lead to a phrase "wireless security", that won't any longer be an oxymoron. Wireless security is one of the hottest topics in our business. In the article you are just reading, I've tried to cover some of the most interesting wireless security topics and events in 2003. The article is divided into several thematical sections: general overview of the wireless security happenings, look back on some software tools, spotlight of two interesting books, a brief positive rant on corporate security world and a Q&A with three wireless security experts working at Funk Software, AirScanner Corporation and IBM. The first news item added to Help Net Security in this year was "Wi-Fi: The National Security Threat". The topic of this news item, was literally copied all over and over throughout the year, so the majority of news stories dissed wireless security. This media "attack" on wire-free network security, eventually lead to a raise in wireless security awareness and better state of security in general.

Pacing up an down the stage in a non-stop information-laden presentation at Hack 2002, held recently in Sydney, the "white hat" hacker known only as Rain Forest Puppy (RFP) reeled off a litany of security holes in operating systems and applications from Sendmail to Solaris and back again. "Security has to be flexible and militant," RFP told the audience.

Cybersecurity is slipping, a panel of experts last month told lawmakers at a hearing of the Joint Economic Committee. The biggest threat is cyberwarfare sponsored by foreign governments, said Lawrence K. Gershwin, the national intelligence officer for science and technology for the CIA's National Intelligence Council. Only nations have enough backing for "the future prospect of causing widespread, long-duration damage to critical U.S. infrastructures," he said. The joint committee's ranking Senate Republican, Sen. Robert F. Bennett of Utah, said observers have missed the forest for the trees. "The complex issues of cybersecurity and infrastructure protection are overshadowed by the attention paid to hacking exploits and Web site defacements," he said.
