What is the Xz Utils Backdoor : Everything you need to know about the supply chain attack

A week ago, on March 29th, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned that two versions of xz Utils, were found to have been compromised. The xz Utils code had been tampered with to include a malicious “backdoor” that would ultimately give attackers the same level of control over affected systems as authorized administrators.

Perspective-Driven Probability: Simplifying Risk Assessment with FAIR Methodology

Explore the nuanced nature of probability and risk assessment in this insightful video. Join us as we navigate the diverse perspectives that shape individual interpretations of what's probable. Discover how the FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) methodology provides a structured approach to understanding and communicating risk, making it accessible not only to the creator but to a wider audience. Gain insights into the challenges of assigning probabilities to uncertain events with limited data, and learn how FAIR methodology offers clarity in the face of uncertainty.

Incremental vs. Differential Backup: Balancing Speed and Storage

Data protection is critical for IT professionals, but choosing between incremental vs. differential backup strategies can be complex. While full backups are key, their limitations in speed, storage, and flexibility become apparent as your data grows. Incremental backups offer a more efficient solution, backing up only the data that has changed since the last backup. This strategy significantly reduces backup time, minimizes storage requirements, and scales well for growing datasets.

CNAPP, CSPM, CIEM, CWPP - Oh My!

We all know the cybersecurity industry loves its acronyms, but just because this fact is widely known doesn’t mean everyone knows the story behind the alphabet soup groups of letters, we must deal with on a regular basis. Let’s take a moment to discuss some of the more prominent security architectures specific to the cloud so we are all on the same page: CNAPP, CWPP, CIEM, and CSPM.

Product Security Plans: What They Are and Why They Matter

A product is only as secure as its weakest link. That is why many talented security engineers and researchers recommend embedding security as early in the software development life cycle (SDLC) as possible, even from the very first line of code. Or better yet, even before the very first line of code, during the threat modeling and architecture phase. Smart people have been saying this for a very long time. So, why does product security still remain difficult?

CVE 2023-2033: What is it, and how to fix it?

Zero-day vulnerabilities are the surprise no developer wants to get. Because these security flaws are unknown to developers, they have zero days to prepare or mitigate the vulnerability before an exploit can occur. 62% of vulnerabilities were first exploited as zero-day vulnerabilities, so they are far more prevalent than we think. Even Google Chrome can attest to that after discovering a series of zero-day vulnerabilities that left its billions of users at risk in 2023.

FIPS Compliant Algorithms for Encryption, Hashing, and Signing

With the rise of cyber threats and the increasing volume of sensitive data being transmitted over networks, organizations must prioritize the use of cryptographic algorithms that meet stringent standards for security and reliability. One such standard is FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) compliance, which ensures that cryptographic algorithms adhere to the rigorous criteria set forth by the U.S. government.
