Cybersecurity is in the news again with the disclosure that Tesla, working in conjunction with the FBI, prevented a ransomware attack from being launched at its Gigafactory in Nevada. The cybercriminals targeted Tesla through one of its employees, whom they allegedly promised to pay $1 million in order to help them infect the company’s system with malware.
By 2025 the amount of data stored in the cloud by both governments, organizations, and individuals will exceed 75 Zettabytes – an estimated 49% of the world’s 175 zettabytes of data at that time. This trend has no doubt been accelerated by COVID, as organizations have been forced to shorten cloud migration timeframes to ensure business continuity during the pandemic.
Full stack development is all the rage these days, and for good reason: developers with both front-end web development skills and back-end/server coding prowess clearly offer substantially more value to their respective organizations. The ability to traverse the entire stack competently also makes interacting and cooperating with operations and security an easier affair—a key tenet of DevOps culture.
Before we dive into the gap in cloud network security, let’s take a step back. If you’ve been in Operations for a while, you might remember how it used to be. “Network” was a team. When you needed to open a port on the network, you had to provide an exhaustive definition of the change, explaining what port you needed, what external addresses should be able to reach it, and where it should be routed to internally.
This post will help you write effective Snort Rules to materially improve your security posture. We’ll begin with a breakdown of how a Rule is constructed and then explore best practices with examples in order to capture as many malicious activities as possible while using as few rules as possible. Snort is an open-source network intrusion detection system (NIDS) that provides real-time packet analysis and is part of the Coralogix STA solution.
Organizations are increasingly turning to Kubernetes, but they’re having trouble balancing security in the process. In its State of Container and Kubernetes Security Fall 2020 survey, for instance, StackRox found that 91% of respondents were using Kubernetes to orchestrate their containers and that three quarters of organizations were using the open-source container-orchestration system in production.
A skillful black hat hacker can quickly assume control of your digital products with just a few swift modifications to its coding, and as businesses continue to digitize their processes, this risk of penetration will only multiply. The solution is the adoption of secure coding practices. Secure coding is a method of writing software and source code that's shielded from cyber attacks.
The question is indeed a contentious one, never failing to incite heated arguments from all camps. Many ways exist to cut the cake in this regard—WhiteHat Security took a stab at it in a recent edition of its Website Security Statistics Report, where it analyzed statistics around web programming languages and their comparative strengths in security.
