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...

Former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge, President Bush's choice to head the Office of Homeland Security, may have trouble coordinating over 40 U.S. agencies, including the FBI and CIA.

Former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge, President Bush's choice to head the Office of Homeland Security, may have trouble coordinating over 40 U.S. agencies, including the FBI and CIA. Federal and other officials say that cyber security will be a key component of the new Office of Homeland Security -- but some computer security experts worry that more bureaucracy will bog down protection. While the man named to head the new office, former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge, has a history of tapping technology for public policy issues, there is concern over his ability to coordinate some 40 agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). And although officials as high as the President of the United States stress the value of secure information in the war on terrorism, industry experts doubt that government can cut through the red tape to protect the Internet. "I think there's a big need [for cyber security], but I'm not sure the way the government is going about it will really have much effect," SecurityFocus incident analyst Ryan Russell told NewsFactor Network. "I think we're a long way off from being secure. The best we can do is act responsively, and I don't see that changing for at least the next decade."

There's no doubt that public sentiment has shifted to favor those who would give primacy to security, even at the expense of civil liberties. Lawmakers are being buoyed by John and Jane Q. Citizen's apparent willingness to say, "Hey, I'm not doing anything wrong, I've got nothing to hide, and so if you want to intercept my e-mail, well, go right ahead, if it's going to make the world a safer place for us and our family." Indeed, just last week, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) proposed a plan to give government agencies the keys to encryption software when it's deemed a matter of national security. And U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft promises to send to Congress a comprehensive package of similar measures to help law enforcement authorities get the bad guys.

Privacy has been a hot issue in Washington and elsewhere for some time now, and anyone familiar with political trends could be forgiven for assuming the public spotlight will quickly find some new hot-button issue. But not so, according to Forrester and its report on "Surviving The Privacy Revolution." "Anyone who thinks the privacy issue has peaked is greatly mistaken," said Forrester analyst Jay Stanley.

(nyse: IBM) Chairman and Chief Executive Louis Gerstner said on Tuesday. In a wide-ranging keynote speech at an industry trade show here, Gerstner said that privacy issues should be at the top of the Internet policy agenda, ahead of Web taxation, new-economy trade rules and intellectual property protections. "Paramount among all these policy issues, especially in the near term, is one -- privacy," the head of the world's largest computer company said. Gerstner said the answer to the privacy concerns raised by new technologies lies in what he described as a "responsible marketplace."

As a European intellectual distrustful of U.S. influence, Mueller-Maguhn can be counted on to make a splash when the ICANN board meets in California next month. Among his first priorities will be explaining to an American audience just what the term "hacker" means when used in a European context and what it does not mean. Although in the 1980s the CCC was famous for the kind of corporate hacking that gets wide attention, for many years now the group has been more a public-minded think tank than a haven for mischief-makers. Mueller-Maguhn earned his spot among the 19 board members by receiving 5,948 votes in Europe, more than twice as many as the next candidate. If he has his way, he will use his new international visibility to help Americans see hacking as a point of view, a way of thinking, and not as a pejorative term.
