As organizations continue to shift to multi-cloud environments and increasingly use cloud services for application development, new challenges emerge that require dramatic changes in the delivery and practice of cybersecurity.

It’s no secret that cyber attacks — especially ransomware attacks — are increasing across industries and organizations. Attack methods are evolving and rapid digitization, along with the rise of cloud computing and a remote workforce, are creating new threat vectors and exposing new vulnerabilities. One industry that has become a major target for attacks is the automotive industry.

Group Policy objects are critical for managing Windows Server infrastructure. To avoid severe service issues, administrators must configure GPOs carefully and be prepared to revert any changes quickly by backing them up before modifying them.

First things first, let’s be clear that this is NOT a new Log4Shell or Spring4Shell vulnerability. Although it is a remote code execution issue, the impact is neither as severe nor as easily exploitable as the issue in Log4j from December 2021. Similar to the Log4j issue, the essence of the problem is that you can perform a lookup that can then be misused. However, the Log4shell vulnerability was very easy to exploit — which is not necessarily the case this time.

There are many types of security research, from digging into malware to discovering the latest DDoS attack vectors. At Mend, vulnerability research is a primary focus for our research team, but even that area has many different avenues to pursue. For example, we tend to focus on open source vulnerabilities, so it is quite unlikely that you’ll see us doing reverse engineering and trying to understand assembly code.

Because information security has become increasingly important and businesses are heavily relying on worldwide connectivity, Cyber VRM solutions are necessary to protect against emerging cyber threats and secure data effectively. However, managing vendors, in addition to their cyber risks, can be a challenging and time-consuming effort that requires more efficient solutions.

From nation-state threat actors to cybercriminals, today’s businesses face many cybersecurity threats. At the same time, organizations struggle to maintain a strong security posture because they have not yet shifted to a holistic approach to risk – one that combines a 360º view of the attack surface with the ability to communicate risk meaningfully and respond effectively.
