Following December 9th, 2021, the news of a Log4j Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability began to grow (Figure 1). In addition to various malware families that already have utilized this vulnerability and added it to their delivery methods arsenal, more vulnerabilities related to this case were published, making Log4j, once simple Java-based logging utility, “the talk of the internet” these days.

Humio is a CrowdStrike Company. Data logging is the process of capturing, storing and displaying one or more datasets to analyze activity, identify trends and help predict future events. Data logging can be completed manually, though most processes are automated through intelligent applications like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) or robotic process automation (RPA).

More than 90% of organizations rely on open source software, a reliance that introduces a significant amount of security and legal risk via either direct or transitive open source dependencies. To overcome this challenge, Software Composition Analysis (SCA) solutions are playing an increasingly important role in helping organizations successfully identify and mitigate potential security issues.

Starting in early 2021, Snyk Code and became available as a freemium offering for Snyk users. Snyk Code helps developers quickly and accurately find, prioritize, and fix security flaws in proprietary code. With detailed remediation guidance at every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from the developer’s environment (IDE) to continuous integration and development (CI/CD) pipelines, Snyk Code revolutionizes static application security testing (SAST).

Defense strategies have evolved as hackers have changed their schemes, and one new approach companies are putting into practice for their security plan is data-centric security. Older security models focused on network infrastructure and hardware security controls while data-centric security concentrates on the data itself. This means data should be secure at all points regardless of where it is stored, processed, or where it is in transit.

We are excited to announce CloudCasa can now be deployed via a recipe to protect Kubernetes clusters managed via Rafay’s Kubernetes Operations Platform for Enterprises and MSPs.

In 2020, millions of businesses were thrust into remote work. What started as necessity has revealed lasting benefits for both employers and employees, though. The model improved productivity and employee morale, while lowering operational costs. Between these benefits and the continued priority of worker safety, many startups are launching with a remote or hybrid approach from the outset.

The Log4j vulnerability burst onto the scene just a few weeks ago, but to many defenders it already feels like a lifetime. It has rapidly become one of the top concerns for security teams in 2021, and seems set to remain so for the foreseeable future. The critical details of this threat evolve almost daily, making it a formidable challenge for defenders to keep tabs on the threat and their organizations’ exposure.

Neo banks are fighting an uphill battle. Not just because they have to convince consumers to choose them over long-established institutions, but also because legislators often lack the understanding of technology as well as the eagerness to give them a fair chance. From strict AML laws and KYC processes to fraudsters and criminals looking to take advantage, neo bank security is a major concern.

Risk management doesn’t belong to one person or department at an organization. It’s a shared effort—partly because it touches on multiple roles at a company and partly because it is a massive and complex undertaking. Successful CISO’s use risk management visualization and reporting to provide a clear and easy way to understand the value of their security program.
