In today’s hyperconnected world, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) devices has dramatically transformed industries, driving innovation, efficiency, and automation. However, as organizations continue to adopt these devices, the security landscape has become increasingly complex. Traditional IT security measures often fall short of safeguarding these critical assets, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats.

CVE-2024-7594 is a severe unrestricted authentication issue affecting HashiCorp’s Vault’s SSH secrets engine. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has not yet evaluated this vulnerability’s CVSS score but HashiCorp assigned it a base score of 7.5 (high). An outside security researcher, Jörn Heissler, discovered an issue with the valid_principals field in Vault’s SSH secrets engine.

The rise of cloud-based software applications has changed the way many companies operate. Leveraging SaaS platforms allows organizations to streamline their workflows and better accommodate remote and hybrid workforces. However, spreading your data throughout the cloud can leave it vulnerable — unless you have strong SaaS security practices in place.

Containerization is now an important tool for businesses that want to make their apps scalable and efficient. A lot of people use Kubernetes because it can easily manage containers in many different environments. It is the best open-source platform for handling containerized workloads and services. But Kubernetes systems can be hard to manage and keep an eye on because they are spread out and have changing workloads.

If you’re a pentester, or a consumer of application security pentest reports, you’ll probably have come across Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) and its commonly associated misconfigurations. In either case, you’ll likely have quickly dismissed the finding because it resulted in yet another “recommendation” (a vulnerability without any impact).

Almost all organizations either rely on cloud computing or are planning to adopt cloud computing technologies soon to ensure their businesses remain competitive and gain an edge over the competition. As businesses increasingly rely on cloud services to manage their operations, the complexity of these environments continues to grow, introducing new challenges in maintaining security and compliance. This is where Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) comes into the picture.

Have you ever stopped to consider all of the components that comprise a working automobile? Even a cursory examination reveals more parts than might be considered when we turn the ignition key. However, many of these components are useless when detached from the full product. A steering wheel without a car is not exactly an efficient mode of transportation.

We are thrilled to announce that we have completed the acquisition of Venafi, a recognized leader in machine identity management.
