A queue of forty tickets, half of them password resets, permission errors, or disk space warnings that any experienced technician could resolve in under two minutes. 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...

Security Trends cybersecurity Linux documentation
cybersecurity Linux documentation Linux operating systems have gained prominence due to their stability, adaptability, and excellent security options. In the case of developing documentation, designing cybersecurity dashboards, or educational material, visuals are of vital importance when it comes to making things clear.

Security Vulnerabilities security advisory linux distribution
security advisory linux distribution ESET researchers identified 11 old and forgotten Linux UEFI shim bootloaders at versions 0.9 and below that can be used to bypass UEFI Secure Boot on any UEFI-based machine that trusts Microsoft’s Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011 third-party certificate authority, regardless of the installed operating system (OS). Reported shims can be exploited to execute untrusted code during system boot, enabling attackers to deploy malicious UEFI bootkits even on systems with UEFI Secure Boot enabled.....

From having one or two VPNs, companies are now looking to install large numbers. These numbers are likely to grow steadily and in a few years' time, organisations may potentially have thousands of VPNs. This proliferation brings undoubted benefits, but also some very major challenges for IT department. First generation VPNs frequently replaced much more expensive leased lines and provided major cost benefits, as well as delivering the standard of security required by large organisations. Early adopters did encounter some technical issues but these were generally resolved by their ISPs, by skilled internal staff or by outside consultants. Generally companies had few VPNs to manage and the cost/benefit ratio was justifiable. ... Offset against the opportunities are some major challenges for the IT department. Security is a key issue. Companies are moving from a single entry point or a low volume of entry points to a situation of multiple entry points. This needs supervision and management on an hourly basis to ensure security is maintained. Authentication and encryption are very important here.

Network Security has become an important part of today's IT staffs. However, there is a small part of it that needs to be a part of everybody's understanding that works with computers that attach to the Internet. I will review some basic ways to inventory your systems externally. Basically, this will allow you to become more informed while enabling you to check on the work that your network administrator performs. Networking openings are the most obvious way that external agents can get into your system. Here's an overview on how to check your systems for openings from a different machine on a network. In fact, you can check any machine (or the firewall that protects them) on the Internet. This will let you know how concerned you should be about new security leaks and which software patches may apply to your network. The link for this article located at ZDNet is no longer available. .

The idea of a wireless LAN has always had a certain charm -- suggesting an end to the expense and inconvenience of running cable, and to users' whining about being tethered to their desks. And now, with wireless standards firming up, throughput increasing and prices dropping, more and more IT managers are succumbing to temptation. In fact, Cahners In-Stat Group predicts that the wireless LAN market will grow 25 percent annually over the next few years, from $771 million last year to nearly $2.2 billion in 2004. At the enterprise level, however, security is a major stumbling block. While the 802.11b wireless Ethernet standard includes several security measures that can lock down small installations, how well these measures scale to environments with tens of access points and hundreds of users is still unclear.
