The new era of remote work launched by COVID has given millions of employees the ability to work on their own terms and spend more time with their families. Unfortunately, remote work also comes with certain security risks, as organizations now need to guard against increased exposure to cybersecurity concerns with little physical oversight. But embracing remote work does not need to mean handing employees’ laptops with sensitive company information and hoping all goes well.

BPF (not eBPF), typically viewed from a defender/sysadmin’s perspective, provides easy access to network packets and the ability to take actions via programs written based on custom filters BEFORE they ever reach a (local) firewall. This same power, according to the PWC report and pending conference talk, was leveraged by a threat actor named Red Menshen, where the attackers have used BPFDoor technique to gain stealthy remote access to compromised devices from at least 2018 to the present.

Cyber attacks on corporate networks were up 50% in 2021, and it’s expected that 2022 will see more of the same. Elastic Endpoint Security includes a variety of protection layers to ensure maximum coverage against different types of malware.

Cloud computing security architecture describes how an organization secures data, applications, and workloads hosted across cloud environments. It specifies all technologies — both software and hardware — allocated for protecting cloud assets, and defines the security responsibilities shared between the cloud services provider and the organization. Cloud security architecture is a component of the organization’s overall security approach.

Endpoints as well as applications such as AWS, Google Cloud, Office 365, 1Password, Slack, and thousands of others produce vast amounts of data. The volume of security data is growing, and this growth will continue for the foreseeable future. This, in turn, leads to several challenges: To solve these problems, many companies have adopted Splunk as their SIEM (security information and event management) platform.

A zero-day vulnerability has been re-disclosed that is very similar to the Follina zero-day announced last week and is actively being tracked by Trustwave SpiderLabs. The vulnerability was initially publicly disclosed back in 2020 but dismissed by Microsoft, which replied at the time: "We are also always seeking to improve these protections.

When client-side security breaches happen, web application developers may find themselves at the receiving end of the blame game (somewhat unfairly). The demands of an accelerated development cycle combined with pressures related to JavaScript web applications security, means developers may feel caught in the proverbial “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” loop.
