Learn how to effectively respond to an AWS key honeytoken trigger with this step-by-step guide. Investigate the incident, identify the leak source, secure your environment, and leverage OSINT techniques to protect your AWS infrastructure.

The Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC) has identified problems in Zephyr OS related to protecting against internet protocol (IP) address spoofing attacks. Zephyr OS is a popular real-time operating system used in connected, resource-constrained systems like Internet of Things and embedded devices. It is highly customizable and supports multiple architectures, systems-on-a-chip, and boards, making it useful for a wide range of applications.

The increase in cloud adoption has been met with a corresponding rise in cybersecurity threats. Cloud intrusions escalated by a staggering 75% in 2023, with cloud-conscious cases increasing by 110%. Amid this surge, eCrime adversaries have become the top threat actors targeting the cloud, accounting for 84% of adversary-attributed cloud-conscious intrusions.

The NIST cybersecurity framework is a set of guidelines and best practices to help organizations improve their security posture. The recommendations and standards allow the organization to be better equipped to identify and detect cyberattacks and provide guidelines for responding, mitigating, and recovering from cyberattacks. In this guide, we discuss everything from the core functions of the NIST framework to how Appknox can help you automate NIST compliance management. So, let’s dive right in.

In this two-part series, the first blog demonstrates how USB devices can be conduits of threats. Read that blog to learn more about USB security threats. In this blog, we’ll look at how you can address these USB security risks. Even in the era of the cloud, USB risks prevail. This is evident from some of the top USB-based searches in Google.

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a pivotal tool in the field of cybersecurity that helps determine the severity of software vulnerabilities. There are few people who haven’t heard of this scoring system, however, there are many who only know it as a scoring model versus an actual vulnerability matrix that offers a consistent framework for communicating the traits and effects of different vulnerabilities.

Accounts with administrative and elevated privileges are necessary for both business and IT functions, but they represent a significant risk to your organization. In the hands of a careless or malcontent insider or an adversary, privileged credentials open the door to data breaches, infrastructure outages and compliance violations.
