Can Privacy Exist in the Metaverse?

Although still in its early stages, the Metaverse is well on its way to becoming a full-blown reality. This monumental achievement was only made possible by the pandemic speeding up the implementation of VR and at-home digital services and by the subsequent penetration of these services among all demographic groups, especially younger people. But as the world steams forward into the great digital unknown, very few people are asking the fundamental question: is the Metaverse what humanity needs right now?

Joining Linux Hosts to an Active Directory Domain with realmd and SSSD

Note: The examples in this post use apt commands, which are for Debian-based operating systems like Ubuntu, Kali and Mint. However, the examples have also been tested with yum/dnf commands for RPM-based distros like CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora and openSUSE.

Where in the world do bots come from?

Bots make up more than 42% of all internet traffic — so there’s a good chance bots are regularly visiting your website. While some bots are good, most are malicious, and are designed to cause problems for you and your site users. Many businesses try to protect themselves from bad bots by blocking users from certain locations. This tactic assumes users from far-flung destinations are probably bots.

Supply Chain Security Intro Workshop

More and more attacks are aimed at the entire supply chain, which means that we developers are increasingly targeted by the attackers. Attacks like the SolarWinds hack show us that making sure you don’t use vulnerable dependencies isn’t enough. The attackers have their sights set on the entire development process with its components. In this workshop, we will look at the first steps and try them out in practice which will enable you to integrate the topic of security into your everyday life as a developer.

Build an Agile Security Program and Power Actionable Insights with Confident Data

In today’s rapidly evolving cyber risk landscape, a resilient and trusted digital ecosystem is possible with an agile security program. Cyber resiliency is the ability to respond to and recover from a cybersecurity incident effectively. A record high 71% of organizations were victimized by a ransomware attack in 2022. Even more concerning is that Gartner estimates that 80% of organizations have no knowledge or awareness of their attack surface.

5 Steps to Stop the Latest OpenSSL Vulnerabilities: CVE-2022-3602, CVE-2022-3786

The OpenSSL Project team announced two HIGH severity vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-3602, CVE-2022-3786) on October 25, which affect all OpenSSL v3 versions up to 3.0.6.

A picture speaks a thousand words

Deep within data lies stories that can help businesses of all shapes and sizes see hidden detail – and act on it. Take a US healthcare provider, for example, who came to us with a pressing issue: the greatest cause of its patient dissatisfaction was due to waiting times. When were the longest peaks? Where was the epicenter of the backlog? And once this was known, what targeted processes could be introduced to speed things up?

The Risk of Shadow IT

The move to the cloud has exponentially increased this phenomenon: The IT team is no longer required for provisioning storage, running an application, or configuring a server. Along with the growth in Shadow IT, the security risk has grown as well. Potential backdoors have been created and internal data has moved online, violating compliance requirements and compromising the organization's security posture.

Visibility to Risk Assessment to Active Protection

Full external attack surface visibility is just the first step to safeguarding your organization. Cyberpion goes beyond visibility to combine an attack surface vulnerability assessment for each connected asset, whether your own (first party) or from a third party. Moreover, the platform actively responds to major vulnerabilities, like dangling DNS records, by taking temporary ownership of the relevant IP address or subdomain to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
