The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for mapping client-facing domain names to their corresponding IP addresses, making it a fundamental element of the internet. DNS-level events provide valuable information about network traffic that can be used to identify malicious activity. For instance, monitoring DNS lookups can help you see whether a host on your network attempted to connect to a site known to contain malware.

Companies have increasingly allowed bring your own device (BYOD) policies to support remote work, but in today’s cybersecurity landscape, this trend has led to an increased attack surface. Each additional endpoint increases the potential for credentials to be compromised through credential phishing attacks. Hackers are leveraging this trend to conduct insider attacks, leaving businesses vulnerable to data breaches.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24. Often a target for directory traversal, file packing utilities offer an excellent way to break a system. Sandboxing is a good test first but who regularly does that?

At CrowdStrike, we combine cloud scale with machine learning expertise to improve the efficacy of our machine learning models. One method for achieving that involves scanning massive numbers of files that we may not even have in our sample collections before we release our machine learning models. This prerelease scan allows us to maximize the efficacy of our machine learning models while minimizing negative impact of new or updated model releases.

To tackle this problem, OWASP has released Application Security Verification Standard towards the end of 2021.

I have always worked in tech, so have always needed to understand the technical nature of the products we are building. This process has always been over-complicated for me so I now always try to write a guide for non-technical people like me. It turns out that once you understand it you can explain it to other non-technical people much easier! So here we go as I try to explain SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) SSO (single sign-on) and why BoxyHQ makes it so easy to implement.
