Engineering is both an art and a science. It requires creative thinking but is bounded by a rigidity which enables measurement and progress. We can only see so far because we stand on the shoulders of giants… and because those giants kept really good notes. Cybersecurity is growing up and it has to. Cyber is no longer the domain of shadowy figures in hoodie sweatshirts, it now has a presence in the C-suite.

For obvious reasons, civilian aerospace is steeped in safety regulations. Long-standing international governing bodies mandate and oversee the specification, design, and implementation of civil avionics such that failure conditions that could lead to safety hazards are identifiable, assessed, and mitigated.

Recently I received a call on my personal cellphone. The call started out as many do; with a slight pause after I answered. Initially I assumed this pause was caused by whatever auto-dialer software the spammer was using to initiate the call before their text-to-speech software starts talking about my car’s extended warranty.

In a previous blog post, we took a look at Java’s custom serialization platform and what the security implications are. And more recently, I wrote about how improvements in Java 17 can help you prevent insecure deserialization. However, nowadays, people aren’t as dependent on Java’s custom serialization, opting instead to use JSON.

True Login phishing kits are continuously being developed by threat actors to improve their TTPs in luring victims.
