Yours in Open Source,
Navigating the Cybersecurity Maze: Advanced Linux Security Practices for Professionals
As cyber threats rapidly advance, Linux administrators and InfoSec professionals are essential defenders against increasingly sophisticated threats. Protectors of critical infrastructure and sensitive data, these experts must implement a wide array of security practices designed specifically to their unique challenges. To help you navigate the modern 'cybersecurity maze,' we share advanced Linux security practices designed to ward off today's most dangerous cyber risks. |
The Future of Container Security: Trends and Open Source Tools to Watch
Containers are among the many recent inventions of modern computing. They have emerged as the cornerstone of software development and deployment. They isolate applications and their dependencies into a closed environment, enabling efficient and consistent deployment across different infrastructures. There are plenty of reasons behind the shift to containerization, the key being the widespread adoption of DevOps practices and cloud-native innovations. However, despite the unmatched convenience and efficiency, containers bring various security challenges that traditional security measures can’t fully address. We examine these challenges and introduce open-source container security tools to help you overcome them. We also explore emerging container security trends to monitor. |
Rethinking WiFi and Router Security: A Deep Dive into the Recent ASUS Flaw and Secure Alternatives
At a time of rapid technological progress, the security of our digital tools - particularly WiFi routers - has become critical. Recent news from ASUS sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community when multiple models of their routers were found with critical flaws that exposed an ongoing challenge of protecting networks against intrusions. We examine this discovery and discuss secure open-source firmware and OS alternatives for improving network security. |
