One of the most important aspects of modern cybersecurity is managing access to IT systems and data. Indeed, organizations that lack robust access management are putting a lot on the line, from customer trust to business revenue. This article explains access control management, explores its key components, and provides best practices for implementation.

TL; DR – Multiple versions of OpenSSH are vulnerable to remote code execution. There is no working public PoC, and researchers have only been able to exploit the vulnerability under unique lab conditions. Cato Sockets by default do NOT have a publicly exposed SSH interface, it is always recommended to keep Cato Sockets LAN interface exposed only internally and use comprehensive network access controls to manage SSH access.

Nowadays, cryptocurrency is a buzzword in society. It’s mostly seen as a high-risk investment or associated with fast profit-making schemes. Despite this, its adoption has surged in recent years, and according to crypto.com, the number of cryptocurrency holders has now hit 580 million. Unfortunately, not all of them hold it for legitimate reasons. We are at a juncture where criminals have the knowledge, services, and tools to channel their illicit profits through cryptocurrencies.

The two policy settings in the CIS Benchmarks control the ability of anonymous users to enumerate the accounts in the Security Accounts Manager (SAM). By enabling the policy settings, users with anonymous connections will not be able to enumerate domain account user names on the systems in your environment.

Over the last half-decade or more, the prevalence of cyberattacks on the government has only increased. Moreover, it’s not just attacks on the government agencies themselves that matter, but also attacks against the contractors and subcontractors working with those government agencies.

On July 1st, the Qualys’s security team announced CVE-2024-6387, a remotely exploitable vulnerability in the OpenSSH server. This critical vulnerability is nicknamed “regreSSHion” because the root cause is an accidental removal of code that fixed a much earlier vulnerability CVE-2006-5051 back in 2006. The race condition affects the default configuration of sshd (the daemon program for SSH).

The last mile in secrets security is securing secrets in workloads. Discover a new way to securely deliver encrypted secrets in your infrastructure with innovative open-source tools, and say goodbye to plaintext secrets.

In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as pivotal technology, driving advancements in natural language processing and generation. LLMs are critical in various applications, including chatbots, translation services, and content creation. One powerful application of LLMs is in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), where the model retrieves relevant documents before generating responses.
