A radius server uses a network protocol for remote user authentication and authorization. It is a client/server protocol that allows a remote user to access a network using a shared secret (usually a password). RADIUS servers are typically located on the perimeter of a network and use port 1812 (UDP) or 1645/1813 (TCP).

It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air. Flowers, candy, cards and dinner are some of the classic ways we show our love on this day. But as an increasing number of people look for love online, it’s a good time for a reminder that more people lose more money in online romance scams than in any other fraud category. According to the FBI, over the past five years $1.3 billion in losses have been reported, with annual losses skyrocketing since the pandemic.

Today, we launched Enterprise OPA, an enterprise-grade OPA distribution built to provide resource-efficient performance for data-heavy authorization. Designed to mitigate the effects of data-heavy workloads, our new offering allows you to reduce infrastructure costs, optimize authorization performance and minimize enterprise risk with powerful live impact analysis, while connecting natively to existing data sources.

In this episode of Future of Security Operations, Thomas speaks with Jacob DePriest, VP & Deputy Chief Security Officer at GitHub, a company with a mission "to help every developer - regardless of experience level - learn, code, and ship software effectively."

In December 2022, the FCC opened a call for comment requesting stakeholders provide input on whether E-Rate program funds can be used to support advanced or next-generation firewalls and services, as well as other network security services. For those unfamiliar with the program, E-Rate is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program that provides funding to schools and libraries for telecommunications and internet services.

Securing your software requires a mix of automated and manual processes, and threat modeling is a crucial part of the mix. Your organization relies on software to innovate and deliver value to your customers, as well as to work faster and more efficiently. However, if that software is not developed and deployed securely, it can put your business at risk. When software risk is business risk, you must both prioritize it and manage it proactively.

Securing modern-day production systems is complex and requires a variety of measures—from secure coding practices and security testing to network protection and vulnerability scanning. Scaling these solutions to keep pace with the speed of development teams can be difficult, resulting in sprawling workflows and disparate sets of tooling.

We are in early 2023, and we have over 2700 new vulnerabilities registered in CVE. It is still a challenge for developers to endure the fatigue of continually vulnerability prioritization and mitigating new threats. Our findings in the Sysdig 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Container Usage Report provide signs of hope for overburdened developers, as the data showed opportunities to focus remediation efforts on vulnerable packages loaded at runtime.

8220 Gang has been dubbed as a group of low-level script kiddies with an equally disappointing name based on their original use of port 8220 for Command and Control (C2) network communications dating back to 2017. Since an initial Talos report in late 2018, the group has continued to use, learn, and benefit from the efforts of their counterparts in the cryptojacking world.
