Gonjeshke Darande’s (Predatory Sparrow) Telegram channel statement claiming an attack against Iranian gas pumps.

Nothing significant gets done in today’s business world without data. For example, every business depends on insights gathered from data to make informed decisions and stay competitive. In fact, studies show that data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to acquire customers than those that are not data-driven. Data is so crucial in modern businesses that there are laws in place to guide companies on storing and managing data. But where is all this data stored? The cloud, mostly.

Every person and organization is different and requires slightly different methods and ways of learning. But every person and organization can benefit by more frequent security awareness training (SAT). Most organizations do not do enough. Training and testing once a year certainly is not that helpful. How often should you do SAT to get the biggest decrease in cybersecurity risk? At least once a month, if not more. But a sophisticated SAT program includes a combination of methods and tools.

Jeremiah Cornelius, Technical Lead for Alliances and Partners at AlgoSec, discusses how Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) users can achieve policy-driven application-centric security management with AlgoSec.

A week before my 15th birthday in September 2023, and quite coincidentally in time for my favorite phone's 15th iteration (cough cough, parents, hint hint), AT&T along with AST-Science successfully made a call.

On December 20, 2023, NIST updated a CVE to reflect a new path traversal vulnerability in struts-core. This is CVE-2023-50164, also listed on the Snyk Vulnerability database, with 9.8 critical severity CVSS. If you’ve been doing cybersecurity long enough, you remember the 2017 Equifax breach, which also took place due to an unpatched Struts vulnerability. In this post, I outline the issue, discuss its severity, walk you through a proof-of-concept exploit, and provide remediation advice.

Risk analysis is defined as the process of identifying, reviewing, and analyzing any existing or potential cybersecurity risks that could negatively impact a business. Performing a cybersecurity risk analysis helps your company identify, manage, and safeguard data, information, and assets that could be vulnerable to a cyber attack. Such an analysis helps to identify systems and resources, determine the risk, and create a plan for security controls that can help protect your company.
