Compromising a pod in a Kubernetes cluster can have disastrous consequences on resources in an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) account if access to the Instance Metadata service is not explicitly blocked. The Instance Metadata service is an AWS API listening on a link-local IP address. Only accessible from EC2 instances, it enables the retrieval of metadata that is used to configure or manage an instance.
Digitization has made its way into every industry. With this shift comes many benefits as well as the risk of a cyber attack. This is especially true in aviation. No matter how securely companies can build networks to ward off cyber attacks, the risk is never absent. With planes operating thousands of feet off the ground — often full of commercial passengers — a digital attack can potentially cost lives as well as millions in damages.
Security configuration management (SCM) involves maintaining a secure baseline configuration for an organization’s systems and monitoring those assets for deviations from that baseline. This fundamental control pairs well with other elements of an organization’s security strategy. As such, SCM enables security teams to harden their organization’s cloud workloads, industrial environments and other IT assets against digital threats.
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution collects log data from numerous sources within your technical infrastructure. This acquisition and normalization of data at one single point facilitate centralized log management. It allows businesses to generate reports containing security information about their entire IT infrastructure. Reporting, out of many benefits of a SIEM solution, also helps businesses in fulfilling their documentation and compliance requirements.
During the previous weeks, we provided a thorough overview of the EU NIS Directive, focusing on the Operators of Essential Systems (OES), the Digital Service Providers (DSP) and the compliance frameworks. Our review of the EU cybersecurity policy and strategy would be incomplete without mentioning the EU Cybersecurity Act.
Pricing can be a thorny task. Pricing challenges and intense competition in ecommerce markets have shot up drastically in the emerging age of internet because of price transparency. There is always a cheaper alternative or a costlier alternative of almost everything you see on an e-commerce website. Any person with a high threshold of time would explore all the options before investing the money into something.
If you’re like most people, you spend far too much time repeating manual tasks. Tasks like saving email attachments, tagging files and writing simple emails are probably not the best use of your talent and energy. Multiply all that work by the number of people in your organization, and you get a clear, if alarming, picture of how much time is wasted on non-essential tasks.
The world is being digitalized more and more. The technological advancements both in terms of hardware and software are grabbing the attention of cyber criminals towards enterprises of each size (e.g., small, medium, and large). The attackers use a complete chain or number of stages to launch a cyber-attack. A Cyber Kill Chain defines all these potential stages and the SOC team can use them to identify, detect, prevent, and contain attack before it causes real damage to the organization.
Did you know that you can use your employee time tracking app for more than digitizing worker timecards? Computer monitoring software with timekeeping capabilities is the ideal tool for maximizing company-wide productivity and profitability. Keep reading to learn about the benefits of using an employee time tracking app.
Portable Document Format (PDF), is this secure or is it something to be suspicious about upon receiving? Jens Müller gave a convincing talk at Black Hat USA 2020, Portable Document Flaws 101, that it is something to think twice about before opening. This article will provide highlights from the insightful talk about the possible PDF-based attacks and the varying security of PDF-readers (purer viewers only and not editors).
