Researchers from Bitsight and Curesec have jointly discovered a high-severity vulnerability — tracked as CVE-2023-29552 — in the Service Location Protocol (SLP), a legacy Internet protocol. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could leverage vulnerable instances to launch massive Denial-of-Service (DoS) amplification attacks with a factor as high as 2200 times, potentially making it one of the largest amplification attacks ever reported.

The best and most secure way to store cryptocurrency private keys, passwords and mnemonic phrases is in a password manager. A password manager encrypts all data, making it a secure option for storing what you need to access your cryptocurrency without it getting into the wrong hands. Read on to learn more about cryptocurrency and what you can do to better protect yours.

The continued increase in cybercrime and breach attempts is not a new trend. For years now, the percentages have ticked upwards, and though cybersecurity has evolved, so have hackers seeking data, money, or infamy. While the initial attack vectors can be myriad — vulnerability exploits, misconfigurations, and credential theft to name a few — there are two tactics that stand tall above the rest: Ransomware and business email compromise (BEC).

Shields Healthcare Group is a technologically advanced health service provider that works with independent and large medical providers. The company manages health data, offers online services, and works to help medical providers keep their information secure and organized. This large-scale provider recently experienced a data breach that left them in a dangerous situation that could put countless patients at risk.

Today, security and development teams are drowning in vulnerabilities. Most security tools identify issues, but don’t provide reliable prioritization or simplify remediation. To help solve these challenges, Sysdig runtime vulnerability management – part of Sysdig’s Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) – provides a runtime image scanner coupled with an eBPF probe to analyze container behavior and identify the vulnerable packages that are in use at runtime.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a technique used to identify the underlying reasons for a problem, with the aim of trying to prevent it from recurring in the future. It is often used in change management processes to help identify the source of any issues that arise following any modifications to a system or process. RCA is something Tripwire Enterprise is often deeply tied into too.

It’s time to broaden our conception of the external attack surface to include all common attack vectors. Traditionally, the external attack surface is thought of as all of an organization’s external IT assets: domains, addresses, web servers, SSL certificates, externally-visible software, and so on.

Governments everywhere are increasingly concerned about implementing frameworks to improve the protection of personal and commercial information and defend national security against cyberattacks. I was recently in Australia, and it was hard to ignore the news that the Australian government released a discussion paper to shape its work on its 2023 – 2030 cybersecurity strategy.

5G refers to the 5th generation of mobile phone wireless network capability. It has captured attention and excitement because of its ability to connect people, objects, and devices more frequently and seamlessly than ever, along with its higher network speeds, extremely low latency, and more reliable network performance. It is relatively early in its evolution, but forecasts predict there will be more than 3.5 billion 5G connections worldwide by 2025.
