To give system managers a number of advantages over traditional interfaces for streamlining and automating administrative chores, Microsoft created PowerShell, a built-in scripting language and command-line executor. The strength of PowerShell renders it a handy instrument for attackers to conduct file-less exploits, which are challenging to block and identify. Essentially, the PowerShell script is a simple text file with an a.ps1 extension. When you execute the file on the prompt, it will begin to run.

The evolution of application design and cloud-native technologies means that developers can no longer rely on traditional authentication and authorization methods to be effective. While new standards for authentication already exist and are easily implemented, authorization remains a challenge, especially in a fast-paced, dynamic cloud environment. One method of solving this issue is to externalize authorization, allowing policy management to be decoupled from the application itself.

A data and security breach often leads to fines and the loss of customer trust for organizations. An IBM report estimates that a data breach on average costs $4.35 million in 2022, a 2.6% increase from the previous year. The increased concern with data and security breaches — along with the need to address more complicated use cases — reinforces the call for more granular methods of access control.

A detailed overview of the Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks, how it affects the Kubernetes infrastructure, and how the vulnerabilities of the K8 systems can be mitigated. Remote Code Execution (RCE) is a vulnerability in systems that cybercriminals can exploit to perform attacks. In RCE attacks, hackers execute malicious code in target systems remotely, irrespective of their location on the network. That’s because they don’t need the target systems to have the execution functionality.

Announced today at AWS re:Invent, Amazon CodeCatalyst brings together everything software development teams need to plan, code, build, test and deploy applications on AWS into a streamlined, integrated experience.

Linux servers have been in use for specific uses for a long time. One ought to be conscious that a new Linux server’s degree of protection is exceptionally low by default configuration. This is in order to permit as much functionality and competency as feasible while installing it. Consequently, it’s essential to carry out fundamental hardening procedures prior to installing the server in a production environment.

At its core, Active Directory domain services (AD DS) is a structured data store of objects in the domain controller. It is a directory service from Microsoft for identity management and access control in Windows domain networks. Active Directory can authenticate users, groups, services and computers to protected information. In addition to that, AD DS also helps to implement security policies and permissions. AD DS enforces them for all computers in your network.
