This blog post was originally released on 08/26/20. What’s worse than an unsafe private key? An unsafe public key. The “secure” in secure shell comes from the combination of hashing, symmetric encryption, and asymmetric encryption. Together, SSH uses cryptographic primitives to safely connect clients and servers. In the 25 years since its founding, computing power and speeds in accordance with Moore’s Law have necessitated increasingly complicated low-level algorithms.

Several vulnerabilities for Java Spring framework have been disclosed in the last hours and classified as similar as the vulnerability that caused the Log4Shell incident at the end of 2021. However, as of the publishing of this report, the still ongoing disclosures and events on these vulnerabilities suggest they are not as severe as their predecessor.

Cyber risk has never been completely independent of world politics and international affairs, but in recent weeks, there has been a significant shift in alignment. The domain of physical war has closer ties to the digital sphere than ever before. As part of efforts to manage elevated cyber risk, it is vital to understand the short-term impact and longer-term risk of current events, and where focus should be placed to achieve the best defense.

Security is crucial ‌for containerized applications that run on a shared infrastructure. With more and more organizations moving their container workloads to Kubernetes, K8s has become the go-to platform for container orchestration. And with this trend comes a growing number of ‌threats and new ways of attack that necessitate strengthening all layers of security. In Kubernetes, there are two aspects to security: cluster security and application security.

What matters most in a criminal trial? Evidence. Everything depends on the quality and depth of facts deployed to build a case for innocence or guilt. Without compelling evidence, no jury can draw accurate conclusions.

From restaurant menus to sporting tickets, using a QR code has become a regular part of life for many. They’ve been widely used in some countries for years, and during the pandemic they finally hit mass adoption in North America and the UK.

A new report, which surveyed 1200 IT security professionals in 17 countries around the world, has shone a light on a dramatic rise in the number of organisations willing to pay ransoms to extortionists. The ninth annual Cyberthreat Defense Report (CDR), produced by CyberEdge Group, shows that not only has there been a substantial increase in the percentage of companies that pay ransoms, but the average size of ransomware payments also increased significantly.

Can you introduce yourself and tell us what you do and what your company does? I'm Simon Eklund and I work for Cparta Cyber Defense as the lead for DFIR. DFIR is quite self-explanatory, but the company itself is quite new. The focus for the company is Swedish infrastructure and IP(Intellectual Property) and it is quite an interesting company to work with since it's quite different from other start-ups or new companies.

React provides an easy and intuitive way to build interactive user interfaces. It lets you build complex applications from small, isolated pieces of code called components. React Native is an extension of React that enables developers to combine techniques used for web technologies like JavaScript with React to build cross-platform mobile apps. This allows developers to write code once for multiple platforms, which speeds up development time.

The weeks following the release of the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation can be confusing when trying to interpret the results and cut through the noise. But one thing is crystal clear in this year’s evaluation that every organization should know: The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform stands alone in delivering native identity protection capabilities that shut down adversaries and stop the breach before it even starts.
