Password storage and encryption are an essential part of your password policy. Reversible encryption is known for being vulnerable to attacks. Therefore, it is crucial to map its usage and try to avoid it as much as possible.

On December 9, 2021, a zero-day vulnerability in Log4j 2.x was discovered. This vulnerability is of great concern because if it’s successfully exploited, attackers are able to perform a RCE (Remote Code Execution) attack and compromise the affected server. Since we are a cloud-based Software Composition Analysis (SCA) provider, we have useful customer data that gives insight into the scope of the Log4j vulnerability.

On December 9th 2021, Apache published a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) for Apache Log4j being referred to as “Log4Shell.” This vulnerability has been classified as “Critical” with a CVSS score of 10, allowing for Remote Code Execution with system-level privileges. If you are currently working to identify instances of this vulnerability, Tripwire can help.

In September 2021, Tripwire released its annual report to examine the actions taken by the U.S. federal government to improve cybersecurity. The report also looks at non-government organizations so that we may catch a glimpse of the differing views and approaches of each, which makes for interesting (and revealing) insights.

“Have you tried shutting it off and turning it back on?” While AIOps won’t likely remove this query from our vocabulary any time soon, technology is certainly here to take on a bulk of the heavy lifting. For all-sized companies, service calls are still going to continue to pour in. And, there’s no sign of any of the world’s CompTIA certs going to waste in the near future. Still, thanks to AIOps, many jobs within the world of IT will become more streamlined.

Properly closing out construction projects can be a major administrative hassle that takes time away from more productive tasks. Not only do you have to identify and retain your contracts, warranties, and proof of completions, but you also must remove team members who no longer require access to systems and folders. It’s typically a very manual process—but it doesn’t have to be.

Gmail is an immensely popular service, with nearly 2 billion active accounts. And as the service has grown, businesses have turned to it for all kinds of things it was never meant to do: user authentication, password recovery, and perhaps most problematic, the passing of sensitive or regulated data between parties.

Nightfall is a data security vendor that integrates with our customers’ third party applications (Slack, Google Drive, Github, Jira etc) to, on a continuous real-time basis, scan all content being added to these applications for sensitive data.

Aaron McCray, Ignyte’s Chief Operating Officer, is giving a brief overview of the changes to CMMC 2.0, and more specifically its Practice levels vs Maturity levels in the video below. Aaron is a commercial risk management leader by trade and a Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserves.

CIOs are remaking the IT function — no longer will security and developer teams be siloed. Recent survey data from 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, and published by Elastic shows a major shift in who is using application security tools, suggesting that DevSecOps is not just an idea, but a growing reality for IT decision makers. IT decision-makers allocated application security tools to 48% of development teams in 2020, compared to just 29% in 2015.
