In February 2022, the Center for Internet Security (CIS) released the CIS Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Benchmark v1.0.0, providing security best practices for establishing a secure configuration and hardening guide for Microsoft Windows. For automation of CIS benchmarks, Get in Touch. Following this release, CIS updated their recommendations for older operating systems, extending back to Windows Server 2008 where applicable. Below we discuss CIS Windows server 2022 hardening script we feel are critical.

In an SQL Server, roles act like security groups that control what users can do within the database environment. The roles designate the access groups determining who can access specific databases and what they can do with the data within those databases. The public role is a special database role that everyone is assigned by default when they become a member of a database. By default, the public role has very limited permissions, often no permissions at all.

Only about 35 percent of the models on Hugging Face bear any license at all. Of those that do, roughly 60 percent fall under traditional open source licenses. But while the majority of licensed AI models may be open source, some very large projects–including Midjourney, BLOOM, and LLaMa—fall under that remaining 40 percent category. So let’s take a look at some of the top AI model licenses on Hugging Face, including the most popular open source and not-so-open source licenses.

In August 2021 we launched Kubescape with a mission to make Kubernetes security open source, simple, and available for everyone, even non-security engineers. Since then we have been working on adding new capabilities to Kubescape, while building a strong community around it. The acceptance of Kubescape by the CNCF, as a sandbox project, was an important milestone for ARMO’s open-source journey with Kubescape.

SQL Agent proxies are a form of built-in service that allows the schedule and running of automated tasks within SQL Server. These tasks can perform various actions related to database management. The msdb database is a crucial system database in Microsoft SQL Server which primarily serves SQL server agents. These databases store information related to SQL Agent jobs, including their configuration, execution history, vital system tables and data.
