cisa kev vulnerability prioritization Most Linux teams don't struggle to find vulnerabilities anymore. They struggle to decide which ones deserve attention first. Between daily scanner results, vendor advisories, and hundreds of new CVEs each month, the challenge isn't visibility—it's prioritization. . 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...

data privacy automation Every system admin has lived through the same Monday morning ritual. 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...

A couple of weeks before that, hackers broke into the servers of German software maker Ashampoo and made off with many of its customers' e-mail addresses; Elinor Mills provides details of the attack in her InSecurity Complex blog.

privacyonline serviceslegal actionMicrosoft's Criminal Compliance Handbook Takedown Affects Cryptome.org
Long-established privacy and cryptology website Cryptome.org was pulled offline on Wednesday after Microsoft launched a legal offensive over its publication of Redmond's guide to internet wiretapping.. Microsoft's Global Criminal Compliance Handbook, a 22 page booklet designed solely for police and intelligence services, provides an overview of Microsoft's online services, what information it collects on users and how long it keeps it. The guide also explains how to serve warrants and how to make sense of the records it stores to understand, for example, when and to who a Hotmail user sent an email. Redmond's lawyers used the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in an attempt to force Cryptome to pull the guide, a request it refused, before going to hosting provider Network Solutions. The firm not only complied with this order but went one step further by placing a lock on the Cryptome.org domain to keep the site down. Cryptome.org remain unavailble but the site, minus the controversial Microsoft documents, can still be found at cryptomeorg.siteprotect.net.

identity managementauthenticationpublic sectorEnhancing Public Access with Federated Identity in e-Government
Leading public sector IT bosses have told silicon.com they would welcome moves by the UK government to adopt federated identity in order to provide the public with faster, more efficient access to online services. But one expert believes the government has been too preoccupied with the controversial ID cards project to consider such as solution. . Federation would essentially mean government departments would share the public's identities across their systems and authenticate against one another. This would speed the process of signing in and using multiple online services and would eliminate layers of administration. Richard Steel, head of ICT at London Borough of Newham, gave such a system a ringing endorsement. "I see it as the way forward," he told silicon.com.

Following the recent DoS attack on the US-based Computer Emergency Response Team, experts warn that there is no defence -- and the problem can only get worse. For security experts, the CERT attack and a similar series of May attacks of the main White House Web site, Whitehouse.gov, underscore the Net's lack of preparedness for handling what could become a catastrophe. Thousands of attacks happen each week. Savage co-authored a paper published last week that found that at least 4,000 denial-of-service attacks happen each week. The potential damage from such attacks rises as increasingly critical services are being put online. The link for this article located at ZDNet UK is no longer available. .
