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...

technology innovationbusiness growthmarket potentialInnovations In RFID: Opportunities And Regulatory Challenges Ahead
Probably someone reading this article is right now thinking up the killer app for RFID, the one that drives it into the mainstream. In 20 years we'll look back and say, "Hey, remember in 2004 we thought RFID was going to be used for inventory management? Wasn't that silly of us?" But that won't happen if RFID is strangled by government regulation before it's born. . . .. I love the history of technology, so bear with me if I take a while to get to the point: In February, 1976, Sony introduced the first Betamax VCR in the United States. Sony believed that consumers would buy the technology to record TV shows and watch them later, a practice which later came to be called "time-shifting." Sony advertised: "Now you don't have to miss 'Kojak' because you're watching 'Columbo' (or vice versa)." (Who loves ya, baby?) But VCR sales malingered until a couple of entrepreneurs had the insight that consumers didn't want so much to record tapes as play pre-recorded ones. Magnetic Video started selling videocassettes mail-order, and, in December 1977, the first video rental store, The Video Station, opened in Los Angeles. VCR sales got another boost when Jane Fonda released "The Jane Fonda Workout" in 1982, leading to a rush in exercise videos. Around the same time, the first consumer PCs were being introduced. Advocates said one of the chief uses would be to store recipes. Indeed, one of the very first consumer PCs was the Honeywell Kitchen Computer, introduced way back in 1966, designed to store recipes. It required two weeks of programming and cost $10,000. I can't be sure of this, but I believe that its target market was the extremely wealthy (and stupid). My point: Very often, when technologies are introduced, we have absolutely no idea how they'll be used. We're utterly ignorant. We're completely clueless. We stumble around for years, thinking this "hammer" thing would be great for putting on top of paper to keep it from blowing away, and only later does it occur to someone that, you know, I bet you could drive a nailwith this thing.

A poll of corporate executives published Monday found that companies are increasing spending on security to satisfy legislation--not necessarily because their CEOs have seen the light. The study of 7,500 senior information technology executives found that 62 percent of companies will increase security spending in 2003, compared with 50 percent in 2002. The top reason for the increase in funding security programs was to satisfy legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which holds executives accountable for their company's disclosures. "Sarbanes has had an impact; there is no doubt about it," said Joe Duffy, lead partner of accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers' Security & Privacy Solutions practice. Duffy believes that executives want greater assurances from their IT departments that their systems are secure and can be audited. Almost two-thirds of those polled said they adopted security measures to limit liability, and almost half said it was to comply with regulations. Only 37 percent of participants said adopting security measures was prompted by a fear of a security incident that affects revenue, or because experts have long recommended such precautions.

Some businesses are expressing concern that the ESign Act, the new law that gives electronic signatures the same legal weight as written ones, is creating obstacles to e-business as well as affecting Web site design. And they're asking federal officials to make some changes to it. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or ESign, became law in October (see story), but a provision in the legislation required the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce to investigate the burdens and benefits of the law's consumer consent provisions and report back to Congress. The two agencies will hold a workshop on Tuesday to examine the issue (see story). John Buchman, general counsel at Arlington, Va.-based ETrade Bank, a subsidiary of ETrade Group Inc., said the main problem with the ESign legislation is the underlying premise that businesses are disinclined to protect consumers.
