With threats to cloud native applications rising, security leaders feel more pressure than ever to counter an ever-changing risk landscape. But thanks to a rapidly expanding security solutions market, many respond to these growing demands by adding more products. With so many new tools arising to tackle security challenges, it sometimes seems like the right answer is always “one tool out of reach”.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the Log4Shell vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228), Arctic Wolf Labs decided to look back on the impact that this critical vulnerability had (and continues to have) on organizations and assess the long tail of activity we’ve seen with threat actors continuing to use the exploit.

Mastodon, the free open source self-hosted federated social network platform, has been witnessing a surge of interest and new users due to the recent developments on Twitter — specifically that of verifying accounts. One of the interest areas driving users to Mastodon has been the ability to verify their account identity and convey a sense of authenticity for the account. This provides a way to help prevent spam accounts, bots, and other issues related to fake news.

The United States, United Kingdom and other governments around the globe are making strides to defend against software supply chain attacks and strengthen the cybersecurity resilience of their departments, partners, and stakeholders.

CrowdStrike Services reviews a recent, extremely persistent intrusion campaign targeting telecommunications and business process outsourcing (BPO) companies and outlines how organizations can defend and secure their environments.

“This is the golden era of application security,” says Founder of Manicode Security and secure coding trainer Jim Manico on episode 26 of The Secure Developer podcast. Ten years ago, Manico says, security training was “a quirky thing to do — something to do on the side.” Now, assessment tools are mature, good literature on assessment makes knowledge more accessible, and a wide range of intelligent people are building secure applications.

A detailed overview of the Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks, how it affects the Kubernetes infrastructure, and how the vulnerabilities of the K8 systems can be mitigated. Remote Code Execution (RCE) is a vulnerability in systems that cybercriminals can exploit to perform attacks. In RCE attacks, hackers execute malicious code in target systems remotely, irrespective of their location on the network. That’s because they don’t need the target systems to have the execution functionality.

Cloud data storage has many practical advantages over traditional data centers, but making a move also comes with many unique security considerations. When moving to AWS, begin how you wish to continue. Companies that transition to cloud data storage must update their approach to information security to protect their data. Setting up proper security practices during migration will help future teams securely and efficiently deliver applications and features.
