Security researchers say they have seen a “massive wave” of malicious hackers exploiting the comment feature in Google Docs to spread malicious content into the inboxes of unsuspecting targeted users. According to a blog post published by Avanan, the comments functionality of Google Docs, as well as its fellow Google Workplace web-based applications Google Sheets and Google Slides, is being exploited to send out malicious links.

For the newest instalment in our series of interviews asking leading technology specialists about their achievements in their field, we’ve welcomed Kathleen Moriarty, Chief Technology Officer at the Center for Internet Security. During her tenure in the Dell EMC Office of the CTO, Kathleen had the honour of being appointed and serving two terms as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Security Area Director and as a member of the Internet Engineering Steering Group from March 2014-2018.

DevOps and Security. One encourages speed, agility, iterative learning, enabling technology to keep up with the pace of business. The other wants to keep you safe, slows things down, crosses all the T's and dots all the I's. They seem to be at odds with one another — but do they need to be? DevSecOps says no, that’s not the way it has to be.

Application Programming Interface (APIs), allow services to communicate with each other. Naturally, applications that are interconnected through many APIs, require thorough security testing, as each connection could potentially include software vulnerabilities. Since there are different methods to test these junctions, I want to briefly discuss the benefits and weaknesses of the most commonly used API testing methods in this article.

TYSONS CORNER, Va., January 7, 2022 – NeoSystems, a full service strategic outsourcer, IT systems integrator and managed services provider to the government contractor market, has named Susan Mitchell as Chief Financial Officer and Brad Wolf as Senior Vice President of IT Operations.

This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. Online transactions are essential for every modern business. From online shopping to banking, transferring funds, and sending invoices, online transactions ensure utter convenience and efficiency. However, the familiarity of making financial transactions online can make people forget about security and all the dangers that they may be facing. On top of that, new cybersecurity threats keep popping up constantly.

For many organizations, cybersecurity is an overwhelming challenge. New threats emerge seemingly in the blink of an eye, and IT and security teams are constantly reacting to the moves of bad actors who always remain one or two steps ahead and get to dictate where and when their attacks are carried out. As you might expect, a reactionary approach to cybersecurity is not ideal. It’s typically borne of necessity due to undermanned teams or inadequate resources. Ultimately, it is destined to fail.

The need for strong cybersecurity has reached critical mass. Seventy-six percent of security leaders have reported an increase in cyber-attacks over the past year -- accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and a rapid shift from an in-office to a remote workforce and on-premises to cloud infrastructure.

In recent blogs, we’ve explored the role of Security Service Edge (SSE) technologies as part of a SASE architecture, and the key differences between SSE and SASE. But so far, we’ve focused more on overall functionality than on its realization and what SSE means from a cloud design and implementation perspective. In this post, we shift gears to put a spotlight on networking and infrastructure as it relates to security clouds.

SSH client configuration files allow us to connect to servers with pre-configured commands. This saves typing each SSH command parameter when logging into a remote machine and executing commands on a remote device. This article will examine secure shell (SSH) client configuration (config) files and their functions. Specifically, we will show an example of an SSH client config file to learn how to use these files before creating an example config file that connects to a fictitious server.
