A Healthy Outlook on Security From RSA Conference 2020

What is an Open Port, and Why are they Dangerous?
In cybersecurity, the term open port refers to a TCP or UDP port number that is configured to accept packets. In contrast, a port which rejects connections or ignores all packets, is a closed port. Ports are an integral part of the Internet's communication model. All communication over the Internet is exchanged via ports. Every IP address contains two kinds of ports, UDP and TCP ports, and there are up to 65,535 of each for any given IP address.

Navigating Cyber Landscape of Connected and Autonomous Cars
In recent years, various attacks have been performed to highlight security concerns about evolving smart cars. In particular, remote hacks took a lot of attention in 2015 when two security researchers hijacked the car’s infotainment system and demonstrated how to manipulate smart car functions. Such attacks elevate the risks associated with the smart car systems and indicate that there have to be diligent measures taken before rolling out these vehicles on the road.
Teleport vs AWS Session Manager
In this paper, we will provide a brief description of what SSM Session Manager is and how it compares to Gravitational's Teleport privileged access management solution. We'll compare the significant design and feature differences and the operational overhead of the solutions. Because Session Manager is limited to AWS, we'll limit the scope of the discussion to that cloud provider. Finally, we have provided a feature matrix of the two solutions.

Weekly Cyber Security News 28/02/2020
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. For a daily selection see our twitter feed at #ionCube24.

While most are quite ridiculous and generally limit the risk, a new product on the market has elevated the risk of serious damage by introducing the remote control of real fire!
