CrowdStrike recently demonstrated the power of the Falcon platform and its integrated approach to providing robust protection by exposing all attack tactics used as part of the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluation released in April 2022. The evaluation focused on emulating two of today’s most sophisticated Russian-based threat groups: WIZARD SPIDER and VOODOO BEAR (Sandworm Team).

CVE-2022-1271 is a new vulnerability affecting gzip, a widely used open source component for archiving, compressing, and decompressing files. CVE-2022-1271, also tracked in the Black Duck KnowledgeBase™ as BDSA-2022-0958, is a bug in gzip, a file format and software application used for archiving, compressing, and decompressing files.

Compliance should be an essential part of business operations, regardless of industry. Taking preventative measures to manage compliance and mitigate risk can feel like a hassle upfront, but it can save your organisation huge costs in the long run. Compliance violations can result in fines, penalties, lawsuits, loss of reputation, and more. However, your efforts should not stop at obtaining a compliance certificate, rather they should expand to accelerate your cybersecurity posture.

Telecommunication is the first, and most robust network ever invented. This may seem like a brazen and bold statement, but when examined closely, it is not the stuff of fantasy. Prior to the invention and development of the internet, what other way could a person pick up a device, and “dial” a few numbers and end up seamlessly connected to someone across the vast expanse of a countryside?

Is your team drowning in container vulnerability noise? Are you spending a lot of time figuring out where to focus resources on and still missing dangerous vulnerabilities? Know that you are not alone. Container environments revolutionized app development by enabling unprecedented velocity, but not without a price. The use of readily available container images of third-party and open-source code enabled much faster cycles, but also facilitated the introduction of vulnerabilities in the application.

Vulnerabilities are everywhere. Vetting, mitigating, and remediating them at scale is exhausting for security practitioners. Let’s keep in mind that no organization has the capacity to find and fix all vulnerabilities. The key is to understand what a vulnerability is, interpret the meanings of the CVSS score, and prioritize and effectively use resources within constrained time limits or delivery windows. Since 2016, new vulnerabilities reported each year have nearly tripled.

DevOps has been the methodology of choice among developers for over a decade. No doubt, it’s proven its efficiency and ability to speed up processes while uniting teams by promoting open communication and shared responsibility. But will GitOps steal the spotlight? We’re exploring the answer in today’s post by looking at these two methodologies’ similarities and differences, advantages, and limitations.

Cybersecurity can often seem intimidating for IT teams. After all, things like “threat hunting,” “red teaming,” and “blue teaming” are not used in IT operations. On the other hand, just because these words are terms of art doesn’t mean that they’re activities you don’t do already. You’re probably already using log data as part of your IT operations incident response.

This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. In mid-March, Microsoft released a free, open-source tool that can be used to secure MikroTik routers. The tool, RouterOS Scanner, has its source code available on GitHub. It is designed to analyze routers for Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) associated with Trickbot. This article will introduce some background on the MikroTik vulnerability, the Trickbot malware, and some ways you can protect yourself.

A few days ago it was reported that the new Go versions 1.18.1 and 1.17.9 contain fixes for a stack overflow vulnerability in the encoding/pem builtin package, in the Decode function. Given the high popularity of Go among our customers and in the industry at large, this update led us to investigate the vulnerability in previous versions.
