CVE-2020-14386 is yet another severe vulnerability that was recently discovered in the Linux kernel. It reminds us that the fight against vulnerabilities is not over. This particular one allows a regular application to escalate its privileges and gain root access to the machine. Indeed, it sounds scary.
Many organizations don’t rely on outsourced security solutions such as MSSP. Rather, they prefer building their own SOC to combat nefarious cybersecurity threats and attacks. However, it is vital to know how an effective SOC is built and what should be its essential security ingredients.
Zerologon (CVE-2020-1472) is a critical vulnerability in the Windows Server Netlogon process authentication process. Following our recent Security Advisory, immediate patching of the vulnerability is strongly advised. To help determine whether your organisation has been compromised as a result of an attacker exploiting the vulnerability (even prior to a patch being installed), Redscan Labs has developed a Zerologon detection tool.
Organizations are increasingly agile today, producing and deploying software applications faster than ever before. But this requires all the elements in the software development life cycle (SDLC) to work together cohesively. Security practices in the SDLC become especially important, given that more than half of security flaws result from preventable coding mistakes. Ensuring that developers are on board with security practices is even more critical to improve the process efficiency.
There was a time when cyberattacks on identity and authentication infrastructures [like Active Directory (AD)] were immensely challenging to perform. A lot of forethought had to be put into devising a plan for the careful execution of attacks, and advanced technical knowledge of domains and networks was a requisite. Over time, with the advent of open-source pen testing tools, the knowledge gap and the complexities involved to carry out a full-scale cyberattack have narrowed drastically.
With the increase in frequency, sophistication, and cost of cyberattacks, the global focus on cybersecurity is at an all-time high. However, the goalposts for those tasked with protecting businesses have shifted. Hackers have a growing number of ways they can compromise a business and are frequently looking to move laterally within an organization, using credentialed (and often elevated) access.
Discover how to automate AWS Fargate image scanning directly in your AWS environment and block vulnerabilities from reaching production, among other threats. AWS Fargate and ECS allow you to deploy containerized workloads quickly. Fargate is even more convenient, as you don’t have to take care of the infrastructure.
