Insufficient Logging and Monitoring differs somewhat from the previous 9 risks. While it cannot lead to a direct intrusion, this risk is that you fail to detect the intrusion in a timely manner, a failure that can cost millions.

Security Logging and Monitoring Failures is #9 in the current OWASP top Ten Most Critical Web Application Security Risks.

Chances are, if you’re shopping for a virtual private server, you already understand why they’re useful for web developers, app designers and everyone in between. You also probably know that the surge in popularity of hourly pricing means you can try most of the big players in this space for yourself for the cost of one Bazooka Joe comic (not even the gum, just the comic).

Over the past decade, we have seen the rapid adoption and expansion of connected devices and embedded systems among businesses. This includes anything from the Internet of Things (IoT) to connected medical devices, building systems, Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and other devices that power our lives and our infrastructure.

If File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) were easy, everyone would be doing it. Actually, it is pretty easy. It’s not exactly rocket science. Practically anyone with a modicum of Python, Perl or development skills can write an app or a script to gather the checksum of a file, compare it to a list or baseline, and tell you whether or not said file has changed.

Cloud misconfigurations represent something that’s plaguing many organizations’ cloud adoption efforts. For example, a 2020 report found that 91% of cloud deployments contained at least one misconfiguration that left organizations exposed to potential digital threats. Those weaknesses contributed to more than 200 data breaches between 2018 and 2020, noted SC Magazine, with those security incidents exposing more than 30 billion records.

We are proud to announce that a Netacea team recently bested 128 other entrants to win the Kafka Summit Hackathon! As part of the online summit, sponsors Confluent challenged teams from all over Europe to create an event streaming application with Confluent Cloud.

A slew of recent changes, particularly the massive shift to remote work following the pandemic, has rapidly redefined the cybersecurity threatscape. In the new cyber normal, organizations face the security dilemma of keeping existing tools versus adopting solutions to protect them against today's threats.

Fragmentation and aggregation attacks (FragAttacks) are WLAN vulnerabilities discovered by Mathy Vanhoef, who created this webpage to provide more information about them. Three of these vulnerabilities are 802.11 specification design flaws, and they are probably as old as the 802.11 specification itself. Aggregation was added in 802.11n, which means this vulnerability has been in the design for over 10 years. Nine of these vulnerabilities are implementation flaws.

If Ben Franklin lived today, he would add cyber threats to his shortlist of life’s certainties. For decades, bad guys have inflicted malware, theft, espionage, and other forms of digital pain on citizens of the modern world. They seek money, celebrity, and political secrets, and often get them. In 2020, hackers halted trading on the New Zealand stock exchange with a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
