Reverse shell is a way that attackers gain access to a victim’s system. In this article, you’ll learn how this attack works and how you can detect it using Falco, a CNCF project, as well as Sysdig Secure. Sometimes, an application vulnerability can be exploited in a way that allows an attacker to establish a reverse shell connection, which grants them interactive access to the system.
The main difference between a security information and event management (SIEM) solution and an intrusion detection system (IDS) is that SIEM tools allow users to take preventive actions against cyberattacks while IDS only detects and reports events. Security information and event management (SIEM) is an approach to cybersecurity combining: Note: the acronym SIEM is pronounced "sim" with a silent e.
NetWalker (also known as Mailto) is the name given to a sophisticated family of Windows ransomware that has targeted corporate computer networks, encrypting the files it finds, and demanding that a cryptocurrency payment is made for the safe recovery of the encrypted data.
APIs are stable, until they aren’t. We talk about that often at Bearer. If you control the APIs, it gets easier, but with third-party APIs and integrations it can be more difficult to predict when an outage or incident is about to happen.
Business risk in the United States may be higher during the novel coronavirus pandemic than at any time in our generation, making risk management a must. What are your strategies for risk mitigation—not only in your enterprise but up and down your supply chain—amidst COVID-19 disease outbreaks? Business interruption is a growing concern right now.
It’s a weird time to be alive. Millions of people globally are living under government lockdowns, as we collectively endure the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has brought to light some fundamental truths about humanity, including our deep-seated need for social interactions. It has also highlighted how reliant we are on critical infrastructure like our healthcare systems and internet connections, both of which are currently strained.
In The State of Application Security, 2020, Forrester predicts application vulnerabilities will continue to be the most common external attack method. Because of this, organizations are urged to continue testing early in the software development life cycle (SDLC), implementing auto-remediation for security vulnerabilities, and shoring up production protections.
Today, we are pleased to announce the expansion of Sysdig’s relationship with IBM to extend cloud security governance with IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management. Through a new OEM agreement, Sysdig Secure and the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform are now available through IBM and IBM Business Partners. The combined IBM and Sysdig offering delivers centralized cloud visibility, governance and automation with in-depth container security intelligence for Red Hat OpenShift.
In under five years time, Kubernetes has become the default method for deploying and managing cloud applications, a remarkably fast adoption rate for any enterprise technology. Amongst other things, Kubernetes’s power lies in its ability to map compute resources to the needs of services in the current infrastructure paradigm. But how does this tool work when faced with the new infrastructure layer that is blockchain? Can the two technologies be used in conjunction?
