cisa kev vulnerability prioritization Organizations should combine the NVD and CISA KEV catalog to prioritize vulnerabilities effectively, focusing on managing real risks rather than being overwhelmed by theoretical scores and alert fatigue.. To solve this, organizations typically lean on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. But these aren’t competing lists. They answer two entirely different questions. While the NVD provides baseline technical metrics aligned with the...

The other half require actual judgment. For years, automation promised that software would eventually sort the two apart on its own. That promise is now being tested in production Linux environments. . Early results are reshaping how IT teams think about tier-1...

Taking seriously an apparent threat from a notorious collective of computer hackers, the Iowa Republican Party is boosting the security of the electronic systems it will use in two weeks to count the first votes of the 2012 presidential campaign.. Investigators don't know if the threat is authentic, but it has nonetheless led the state party to confront a worst-case scenario. Their fear: an Iowa caucus marred by hackers who corrupt the database used to gather votes and crash the website used to inform the public about results that can shape the campaign for the White House. "With the eyes of the media on the state, the last thing we want to do is have a situation where there is trouble with the reporting system," said Wes Enos, a member of the Iowa GOP's central committee and the political director for Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign in the state. "We don't want that to be the story." The link for this article located at SF Gate is no longer available. .

security riskhacker threatcustom firmwareGeoHot Custom Firmware for PlayStation 3 Linux Support Threatened
iPhone hacker George Hotz, aka "GeoHot," was able to finally crack the PlayStation 3... three years after the system's release. He praised the hardware for its security, but now that Sony has responded by removing the Linux capabilities of the PlayStation 3 entirely, the hacker has decided to fight back, warning gamers not to update their systems until he finds a way to keep the Other OS option on the PlayStation 3. . The problem for Sony is that GeoHot is now threatening to release custom firmware for the system, which is quite the escalation from what was previously available from the hacking community. "I never intended to touch [custom firmware], but if that's how you want to play..." Hotz wrote on his blog. Sony may have done much more harm than good with its April 1 update. The hacker speaks Hotz is skeptical about the reasons for the update. "What security concerns? It's not like the exploit can be run even close to without the users knowledge. You have to open the f**king thing up. How could this harm users?" He points out that the blog post doesn't give users any positive gains from the update, simply threatens what they'll lose if they don't. Urging gamers to wait on the update, he says he's working on a workaround that will allow you to continue to play games online as well as keep your Linux partition.
