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...

security innovationinformation securityworkshopCall for Papers: New Security Paradigms Workshop Insights
NSPW is a unique workshop that is devoted to the critical examination of new paradigms in security. Each year, since 1995, we examine proposals for new principles upon which information security can be rebuilt from the ground up. We conduct extensive, highly interactive discussions of these proposals, from which we hope both the audience and the authors emerge with a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of what has been discussed. . In his seminal book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions", Thomas Kuhn describes the progress of science as "a series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions." These revolutions, which he called "paradigm shifts", are periods during which "one conceptual world view is replaced by another." A paradigm shift is thus not an incremental contribution to an established branch of science; it is an attempt to replace the fundamental dogma of a branch of science with a different, and completely incompatible, set of core principles. The New Security Paradigms workshop is dedicated to the proposition that what Kuhn called "anomalies" - signs that the prevailing paradigm can no longer explain phenomena observed in the real world - are already visible in the science of information security, and, indeed, that the anomalies are so obvious and so serious that the prevailing information security paradigm is or soon will be in crisis. NSPW aspires to be the philosophical and intellectual breeding ground from which a revolution in the science of information security will emerge. We solicit and accept papers on any topic in information security subject to the following caveats: Papers that present a significant shift in thinking about difficult security issues are welcome. Papers that build on a recent shift are also welcome. Contrarian papers that dispute or call into question accepted practice or policy in security are also welcome. We solicit papers that are not technology-centric,including those that deal with public policy issues and those that deal with the psychology and sociology of security theory and practice. We discourage papers that represent established or completed works as well as those that substantially overlap other submitted or published papers. We discourage papers which extend well-established security models with incremental improvements. We encourage a high level of scholarship on the part of contributors. Authors are expected to be aware of related prior work in their topic area, even if it predates Google. In the course of preparing an NSPW paper, it is far better to read an original source than to cite a text book interpretation of it. Our program committee particularly looks for new paradigms, innovative approaches to older problems, early thinking on new topics, and controversial issues that might not make it into other conferences but deserve to have their try at shaking and breaking the mold. Participation in the workshop is limited to authors of accepted papers and conference organizers. Each paper is typically the focus of 45 to 60 minutes of presentation and discussion. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit ideas that might be considered risky in some other forum, and all participants are charged with providing feedback in a constructive manner. The resulting intensive brainstorming has proved to be an excellent medium for furthering the development of these ideas. The proceedings, which are published after the workshop, have consistently benefited from the inclusion of workshop feedback. We welcome three categories of submission: Research papers. These should be of a length commensurate with the novelty of the paradigm and the amount of novel material that the reviewer must assimilate in order to evaluate it. Position papers. These should be 5 - 10 pages in length and should espouse a well reasoned and carefully documented position on a security related topic that merits challenge and / or discussion. Discussion topic proposals. Discussion topic proposals should include an in-depth description of the topic to be discussed, a convincing argument that the topic will lead to a lively discussion, and supporting materials that can aid in the evaluation of the proposal. The later may include the credentials of the proposed discussants. Discussion topic proposers may want to consider involving conference organizers or previous attendees in their proposals. Submissions must include the following: The submission in PDF format, viewable by Adobe Acrobat reader. A justification for inclusion in NSPW. Specify the category of your submission and describe, in one page or less, why your submission is appropriate for the New Security Paradigms Workshop. A good justification will describe the new paradigm being proposed, explain how it departs from existing theory or practice, and identify those aspects of the status quo it challenges or rejects. The justification is a major factor in determining acceptance. An Attendance Statement specifying how many authors wish to attend the workshop. Accepted papers require the attendance of at least one author for the entire duration of the workshop. Attendance is limited, and we cannot guarantee space for more than one author. No submission may have been published elsewhere nor may a similar submission be under consideration for publication or presentation in any other forum during the NSPW review process. The submission deadline is Monday, 26 March 2006. Notification of acceptance will be Monday, 28 May, 2006. Workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and put in the ACM digital library. In order to ensure that all papers receive equally strong feedback, all attendees are expected to stay for the entire duration of the workshop. We expect to offer a limited amount of financial aid to those who requireit. See https://www.nspw.org/ for details of the workshop policies and for submission procedures. .
