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.

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.

“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.

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.

Continuing our OT:ICEFALL research, Vedere Labs has disclosed three new vulnerabilities affecting OT products from two German vendors: Festo automation controllers and the CODESYS runtime, which is used by hundreds of device manufacturers in different industrial sectors, including Festo.

Despite years of effort encouraging a DevSecOps approach, development and security teams tend to remain divided. For example, according to 2020 research, 65% of security professionals reported that their companies had successfully shifted security left. Good, right? But the same research also shows that almost a third of people believe the security team is primarily responsible for security — despite shifting left.
