Security Vulnerabilities 
cisa kev vulnerability prioritization
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...

Desktop Securitysecurity advisory vulnerability
security advisory vulnerability GNOME is officially shortening its standard vulnerability disclosure window from 90 days to 30 days, a change that impacts upstream maintainers, downstream Linux distributions, and system administrators in how they handle software vulnerabilities. The policy shift, announced by long-time security coordinator Michael Catanzaro , addresses modern software patching realities and a growing influx of automated submissions. . Because GNOME is the default desktop environment on several major Linux...

Security Vulnerabilities security advisory moderate
security advisory moderate For organizations that run a self-hosted Git platform, it’s no longer just about hosting static code repositories. Today, Git servers are responsible for deployment pipelines, API tokens, SSH keys, package repositories, and the automation scripts that push code directly. Confirm that the upgrade addresses known vulnerabilities but also provides production environments. . That makes them trusted systems within the development environment and attractive targets for attackers looking to move...

Server Securitydata privacy automation
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...

Privacydata collection automation
data collection automation You're running a web scraping project to collect pricing data from e-commerce sites. You set up a pool of datacenter proxies, launch your scripts, and within minutes — banned . CAPTCHAs everywhere. Your data pipeline stops before it really begins. . It's a frustrating scenario that plays out daily in ad verification, market research, and multi-account management. The website doesn't know you're doing legitimate research or monitoring. It just sees traffic coming from IP ranges it recognizes as...

If you call the Stanislaus County administrative offices and ask for Richard Robinson, be sure to specify that you want to speak with the director of strategic business technology. If not, you most likely will get the county's CEO, who has the same name.

If you call the Stanislaus County administrative offices and ask for Richard Robinson, be sure to specify that you want to speak with the director of strategic business technology. If not, you most likely will get the county's CEO, who has the same name. When you reach the technology director, you will meet a former Accenture (Anderson Consulting) professional steeped in high-level consulting methodologies. In two years, he's reduced costs in his department by 30-65%, depending on how you want to figure it, by using Linux and open-source technologies. According to Robinson, he's only getting started. "In 2002, about two percent of the county's computer servers were Linux", Robinson recently told reporters from the Modesto Bee. "This year, about one-quarter of the servers are Linux. That number is expected to increase to more than one-third by next year." Robinson also said that "he expects the county will save money in the long run by moving to Linux because it won't have to pay software licenses every year, which nickel and dime you to death and can be very costly". After reading this article, I made a call to Stanislaus County and found Robinson. He gave me another number to a VoIP phone, and soon we starting talking about Linux and saving taxpayers money. After a few minutes, I realized Stanislaus had cornered a pro. . Stanislaus County optimizes expenditures and improves productivity by embracing Linux, elevating public sector tech services..

As information security technology evolves and our infosec tool belts get heavier, most veteran practitioners find themselves longing for smarter--not more--tools. Sure, we have antivirus gateways, in-line content filters, firewalls, scanners, biometric devices, crypto suites and intrusion-detection systems. And we pump thousands--if not millions--of dollars into technology-enabled solutions to our technology-created problems.. . .. As information security technology evolves and our infosec tool belts get heavier, most veteran practitioners find themselves longing for smarter--not more--tools. Sure, we have antivirus gateways, in-line content filters, firewalls, scanners, biometric devices, crypto suites and intrusion-detection systems. And we pump thousands--if not millions--of dollars into technology-enabled solutions to our technology-created problems. But try as we might, the Slammers, Blasters and Welchias of cyberspace still tear through our networks like meteors on a collision course. Inundated network defenders may be forgiven for asking, Are the problems getting tougher, or are our "solutions" just not enough, or both? So you can imagine our excitement when we discovered products designed to take existing technology and make it work smarter. When we first turned our sights on the SIM (security information management) market a year and a half ago (see "netForensics Leads a Weary Fleet,"), we had high hopes. SIM vendors enticed us with claims that by centralizing logs, using database and visualization tools, and correlating security device and system logs, defenders could decrease workloads and increase efficiency. Who could resist? Last year's testing, however, told a different story. We found first-generation SIM systems incredibly difficult to deploy, and they delivered only a few pieces of the big picture. This year, we went into our testing a little less optimistic, a lot wiser and more prepared. When we asked ArcSight, e-Security, GuardedNet, Intellitactics, netForensics, NetIQ, NetworkIntelligence and OpenService to send products to our labs, NetIQ declined to participate in our tests, and OpenService couldn't get us product in time, so we ended up with six SIM systems to test.

As technology advances, security tools adapt accordingly; however, do these solutions genuinely empower defenders in their battle against threats?.

There's no escaping that WEP is a problem for WLAN designers. In the final part of this series, we'll layout some technology solutions that can help designers enhance security in WLAN systems. Depending on which side of the wireless LAN (WLAN) . . . . There's no escaping that WEP is a problem for WLAN designers. In the final part of this series, we'll layout some technology solutions that can help designers enhance security in WLAN systems. Depending on which side of the wireless LAN (WLAN) fence you are on, you may like or dislike the wireless equivalent privacy (WEP) protocol. However, there is no escaping the fact that WEP alone is not good enough to secure 802.11 WLANs. With this in mind, designers need to explore new technical options in order to improve security in WLAN designs. This is the final-part in a three-part series on securing WLAN links. In Part 1, we examined the inherent challenges with the wireless medium. In Part 2, we looked at the security challenges plaguing the 802.11 specification. Now, in this part, we'll look at the impact of SSL, IPSec, 802.1x and more on WLAN security. The link for this article located at Comms Design is no longer available. . In this concluding segment of our exploration on fortifying wireless connections, we will delve into innovative technological advancements aimed at bolstering WLAN security..
