In our new vulnerability research report, Forescout Vedere Labs discusses an often-overlooked aspect of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security: vulnerabilities in its software implementations. More specifically, vulnerabilities in BGP message parsing found in the popular FRRouting implementation that could be exploited by attackers to achieve a denial of service (DoS) condition on vulnerable BGP peers.
By analyzing over 3,000 websites and over 100,000 associated webpages (using the client-side security scanning feature of Feroot Inspector) across 6 sectors, it was determined that pixels/Trackers transfer data to almost 100 countries around the globe. Table 1 shows the top 40 destinations of data being transferred by pixels/trackers collecting data from the analyzed websites – all of which were US-based.
Professionals working in Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) enjoy playing detective, researcher, analyzer, and communicator. With Tines, now there’s a better way to quickly get answers for some of the most common questions that can tip off more strategic (read: exciting, fulfilling, meaningful) threat intelligence research.
The first three pillars of the National Cyber Security Strategy focused on activities that could be accomplished in the near term–perhaps within a few years. The last two pillars start looking at some challenges that we need to address now.
We’ve come a long way since ThreatQ v4 and our own Jay Allmond, UK Threat Intelligence Engineer at ThreatQuotient, recently shared the details during a hands-on webinar that’s now available on-demand. In this 30-minute session that as Jay says, “is light on PowerPoint and heavy on nerdy stuff”, we review the basics of the ThreatQ Platform and dive deep into some of the newest capabilities.
Despite its reputation as a technical field, IT operations require a host of skills and capabilities that are uniquely human. The key to making the most of emerging AI technology is to know how it complements an IT pro, not where it competes.
Quality of Service (QoS) is a standard metric for any infrastructure, networking, or operations team contracting with a tech vendor The average network SLA, for example, is crawling with QoS metrics covering a range of things, including packet loss, jitter, latency, bandwidth allocation, response time, and uptime.
A few very personal and private specialized dating sites were recently hit by data attacks that have led to users being exposed and potentially released onto the internet. Sites CityJerks and TruckerSuckers both experienced data breaches from the same individual who is attempting to sell the stolen data. The information taken from these accounts is highly private and personal, and anyone involved in this breach is likely to be unhappy about having their data exposed.
The gender gap in STEM fields is a huge problem. Women only make up 25.2% of the computer and mathematical occupations in STEM, even though these jobs are among the fastest growing and highest paid in the world. Why is this happening? What can we do to bridge the gap and get more women these lucrative careers? Those are questions we’re doing our part to solve at One Identity UNITE.
