Stevenage, 15th March 2022 – Today new findings from the Bulletproof Annual Cyber Security Industry Threat report highlight the issue posed by poor security hygiene as automated attacks remain a high security threat to businesses. The research gathered throughout 2021, showed that 70% of total web activity is currently bot traffic.
We are living in the height of technology with no sign of stopping any time soon. Technology has access to so much of our personal information, habits, and decisions. However, we are also living in a time of accountability and compliance, in response to so much power being acquired by Big Tech. But compliance doesn’t just affect tech giants. Now there are global policies that apply to everyone from local small businesses to multi-million dollar firms.

The JFrog Security research team constantly monitors open-source projects to find new vulnerabilities or malicious packages and share them with the wider community to help improve their overall security posture. As part of this effort, the team recently discovered seven new security vulnerabilities in ClickHouse, a widely used open-source Database Management System (DBMS) dedicated to online analytical processing (OLAP).
Rapid proliferation of data, growing volume of domains and subdomains, and rise in third-party software have expedited the need for having a robust security program in place. As the web-facing attack surface grows, existing security practices are falling behind.
Recently, IBM announced the IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Center1 for the acceleration of hybrid cloud and to help IBM Z clients accelerate the modernization of their applications, data, and processes in an open hybrid cloud architecture. By combining IBM Z systems built for transactional integrity, throughput, reliability, and availability with hybrid cloud development, IBM is combining the best of both worlds.

In part one of this two-part blog series, we analyzed the UK National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) guidance relating to backups and data protection. Now in this post, we will examine NCSC’s guidance around mitigating malware and ransomware attacks. Recall that NCSC, at present, provides information and practical guidance in various articles on its website rather than formal requirements or regulations.
CrowdStrike’s Cloud Threat Research team discovered a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2022-0811) in CRI-O (a container runtime engine underpinning Kubernetes). Dubbed “cr8escape,” when invoked, an attacker could escape from a Kubernetes container and gain root access to the host and be able to move anywhere in the cluster.
In recent days, several security vendors have published blogs about the Linux-based exploitation (CVE-2022-0847), also known as Dirty Pipe. The Elastic Security Research team is sharing the first detailed research to help organizations find and alert on the exploitation with Elastic Security products. We are releasing this research so that users can defend themselves, since very little information has been shared on the actual detection of exploitation attempts.
