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...

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...

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...

firewallsoftware designopen sourceGuardian Digital Firewall Launch: A New Era in Internet Security
Guardian Digital, Inc., a leader in open source security products, today announced the release of a new firewall product that will revolutionize internet security as we know it, forever. Guardian Digital CEO Dave Wreski explains, "Our new product works differently from most other firewalls on the market, which can possibly allow dangerous packets into protected networks. Our technical wizards realized that all virus, worm, and malware authors use dangerous 'zeroes' in their binary code, therefore our new firewall product blocks all 'zeroes' while allowing the friendly, useful 'ones' through." . Some software that needs to traverse the new firewall will need to be rewritten solely using ones in their binary code, eliminating any use of the dangerous zeroes. "We believe this is a necessary change, and the programming time required to rewrite applications to use only ones will be offset by the halving of bandwidth usage gained by dropping the extremely dangerous zeroes at the firewall." says Wreski. Other analysts note that eliminating zeroes will cut the complexity of most software in half, gaining savings in both disk space and memory usage, as well as maintainability. "Why didn't someone think of this sooner?" asks famed security analyst April Q. Phoolenstein. "I never trusted those zeroes in the first place, looking around with their beady little eyes. It's simply about time we got rid of them." The new firewall works by creating a virtual net to filter packets through. "The ones, being skinnier, fit through the holes in the net, while the dastardly zeroes are caught and quarantined." explains Wreski. "The only user maintenance required will be to remove the hopper containing the zeroes occasionally and dispose of them in an environmentally safe manner, by flushing them down the toilet.".

Messaging security vendor CipherTrust Inc. on Monday released a new component of its IronMail appliances designed to stop spam messages before they get to customers' networks. Known as Connection Control, the technology relies on the company's Spam Profiler system to identify the IP addresses of the most egregious e-mail abusers. It does this through the use of a scoring index that assigns incoming messages a score of zero to 100, based on the likelihood that they're spam.

Cisco has been ranked as one of the top three most trusted security product vendors and one of the top three most trusted security service providers in two surveys done by the Yankee Group. Symantec was also ranked as one of the top three most trusted vendors in both categories. The Yankee Group 2004 Managed Security Services Survey found that of 606 enterprises, Symantec, Cisco and VeriSign rank as the three most trusted security service vendors. The Yankee Group noted that Cisco's standing as one of the top three most-trusted security service vendors was surprising, given that it doesn't offer broad security services, offers only limited professional services, and no managed security services. "This survey result is really a testament to the power of Cisco's remarkable brand recognition," said Phebe Waterfield, Yankee Group Security Solutions & Services analyst, in a statement.

As IT staffs continue to look for ways to stretch their security budgets, vendors are readying new products that combine multiple security functions in a single offering. Nokia Corp. and Broadcom Corp. next week will introduce products that take discrete capabilities normally found in several different devices or applications and weave them together. Although the companies take different approaches, the goal is the same: to reduce the number of security devices IT staffs have to manage. Nokia's Internet Communications division this week plans to introduce its Secure Access System, a line of appliances based on the Espoo, Finland, company's software security platform and IPSO hardened operating system. The boxes are designed to provide security functionality that allows remote and mobile users to access corporate networks. The heart of the system is an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)-based VPN (virtual private network) that provides a connection to all of a user's corporate applications, including e-mail, client/server software and enterprise applications.

Speaking at the company's European iForum conference, chief technology officer Bob Kruger revealed that a Linux version of Citrix Secure Gateway (CSG) was scheduled for release later this year. "People who have some trepidation about putting Windows in the DMZ are happier putting Linux in there," he said.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is very grim news indeed. Why do I care about PGP Desktop? Because it's a critical software package for me, and presumably for many of you as well. Pretty Good Privacy has long been assimilated into Network Associates, but its roots as a countercultural tool are still widely known. Some had considered NAI's rendition of the PGP products tainted by their commercial association, especially after Phil Zimmerman, PGP's progenitor, left the company. But the products have remained very good, and they fill a need. The link for this article located at ZDNet is no longer available. .
