Real time cyber attack maps offer us an insight on the attacks going on around the globe. They sure are eye candies, but do they have any use? Read our article to learn more. Although their extent, kind and intent changes, one thing about cyber attacks remain the same: They never stop. At any given moment, there are hundreds of cyber attacks happening.
Editor’s note: CVE-2020-0601, unsurprisingly, has created a great deal of interest and concern. There is so much going on that we could not adequately provide a full accounting in a single blog post! This post focuses on detection of the vulnerability based on network logs, specifically Zeek as well as Endpoint. If you are collecting vulnerability scan data and need to keep an eye on your inventory of systems that are at risk, then check out Anthony Perez’s blog.
AWS S3 Server Access logs provide detailed records for requests made to S3 buckets. They’re useful for many applications. For example, access log information can be useful in security and access audits. It can also help generate customer insights and better understand your Amazon S3 bill. Coralogix makes it easy to integrate with your S3 server access logs via a Lambda function.
If you follow me on Medium or Twitter, you may already be aware. Still, if you don’t (I assure you that you’re missing out), I have been researching several technologies in preparation for an OPSEC/Anti-OSINT tool that I am crafting. I am using this tool as a means to push myself harder to learn something new that I can apply professionally. I am also doing this to be able to make a positive difference in the world.
As a result of this ever-increasing volume and sophistication, SOC’s and SIEM’s using traditional, reactive measures are overwhelmed. More and more organizations are turning to detection and response solutions which combine threat intelligence and cyber expertise, to uncover and remediate threats as early as possible, and also to mitigate risk of future attacks.
Vendor risk management is hard. And it's getting harder. But it doesn't have to be. Business units are outsourcing more of their operations to third-party suppliers. In turn, these suppliers outsource to their own service providers. It's undeniable, the average organization's exposure to third-party risk and fourth-party risk has never been higher.
Requesting that a SaaS company answer a Vendor Security request has become a regular thing for companies who work in the cloud. But have you thought about how the reverse works, that is, when your customer has a VSA process focusing on you?
As a security consultant, I’m not going into an environment to design and build an organization’s network from the ground up in most situations. For the majority of the time, I’m working with legacy environments where some old technologies might be phasing out and newer ones joining the mix of solutions.
The life sciences industry is undergoing major transitions. Pharma, biotech, and medical device companies generate more data than ever and require higher processing power for clinical trials, gene sequencing and more. Many life sciences organizations are transitioning legacy technology stacks to the cloud, which promises the ability to accelerate processes, mobile collaboration, and strong security. To further complicate matters, there is increasing pressure to maintain regulatory compliance.
What's a gateway? It is an entry point. Things go in. People, traffic, requests. If you've spent any time with microservices, you may have come across the term "API gateway". While not unique to microservices, the API gateway's popularity has grown in the time since their rise. So what exactly is an API gateway?
