Security researchers at Feroot are warning application security professionals of the client-side security risk associated with unprotected cookie structures. Because cookies are so ubiquitous with all website types—from e-commerce and banking to social networks and SaaS applications—organizations need to be aware of the privacy and data exploitation risks associated with poor cookie security.
Malware attacks are escalating. For example, there were 57 million IoT malware attacks in the first half of 2022, a staggering 77% increase year to date. Unfortunately, traditional signature-based antivirus and sand-boxing technologies are insufficient against today’s sophisticated attacks. In particular, advanced persistent threat (APT) viruses, Trojan malware and zero-day malware often evade these defenses.
A port can be defined as a communication channel between two devices in computer networking. So, are there any security risks connected to them? An unwanted open port can be unsafe for your network. Open ports can provide threat actors access to your information technology (IT) environment if not sufficiently protected or configured correctly. Case in point: in 2017, cybercriminals exploited port 445 to spread WannaCry ransomware.
There’s a glimmer of good news amid the ever-evolving IT threat landscape – although it’s come about as a result of worrying illegal activity. Even though recent changes to data privacy laws have placed consumers in control of their personal information, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has found that some apps are, in fact, collecting data they don’t need.
Deploying security automation is hard if the criteria for success is beyond the scope of ticketing workflow. But the barrier of automation deployment has never been lower with the advent of so many Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms now available to select from in the market and how attractive purchasing automation in a box (or in the cloud) is.
Fighting modern adversaries requires having a modern security operations center (SOC), especially as organizations move to the cloud. To protect their estates against tomorrow’s threats, security professionals have often turned to more data sources and adding more security monitoring tools in their operations, both in the pursuit of maximizing their attack surface visibility and reducing time to detect and respond to threats.
C++ offers many powerful capabilities to developers, which is why it’s used in many industries and many core systems. But unlike some higher-level languages that offer less direct control over resources, C++ has a variety of security concerns that developers must be keenly aware of when writing code to avoid introducing vulnerabilities into projects. As developers, we build applications with our end-users in mind. They trust us with their data, time, and device access.
With the release of Longhorn v1.3.0, CloudCasa by Catalogic is happy to announce that it fully supports the backup and recovery of Longhorn persistent volumes (PVs) on Kubernetes clusters. While previous versions of Longhorn supported volume snapshots and the CSI interface, Longhorn v1.3 introduced full support for the CSI snapshot interface so it can now be used to trigger volume snapshots in a cluster.
Keeper security is zero trust. Our cybersecurity platform enables organizations to achieve full visibility, security and control across your data environment. By unifying Enterprise Password Management (EPM), Secrets Management (SM) and Privileged Connection Management (PCM), Keeper provides organizations with a single, pervasive pane of glass to track, log, monitor and secure every user, on every device, from every location, as they transact with all permitted sites, systems and applications.
