The OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol belongs to a category of IP Routing protocols and serves as an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) designed for the Internet. It is employed to disseminate IP routing details across a solitary Autonomous System (AS) within an IP network.

We’re thrilled to introduce a fresh ARMO app designed exclusively for Slack, delivering notifications directly to the channels where your teams focus on tackling security concerns related to Misconfiguration, Vulnerabilities, and Compliance. This integration ensures that your DevSecOps teams receive timely notifications within their preferred collaboration platform, empowering them to take immediate action.

While NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) has been historically used for local network communication, it has several security vulnerabilities and limitations, and its use has diminished over time. Here are some reasons why someone might want to disable NetBIOS: Broadcast Traffic: NetBIOS relies on broadcast traffic for name resolution, which can lead to network congestion and inefficiency, especially in larger networks.

With an average cost of USD 4.45 million for data breaches, the gravity of website security threats cannot be overstated. These attacks result in financial losses due to customer attrition, downtime, and disruptions and undermine customer trust. The rising numbers, increasing scale, sophistication, and impact of website security threats underline the necessity for proactive prevention measures. This article delves into 5 of the most common threats today and ways to prevent them.

User Account Control (UAC) serves as a security feature in Windows, aiming to safeguard the operating system from unauthorized modifications. Whenever alterations demand administrator-level permissions, UAC prompts the user, allowing them to either authorize or reject the requested change.

In this guide, we'll dive into the powerful combination of Platformatic and Fastify, unlocking rapid backend development with an emphasis on robustness and security. Whether you're a seasoned Node.js developer or just starting out, this article is a helpful start to enhancing your familiarity with Node.js PaaS environments such as Platformatic.

The Audit Kernel Object feature dictates whether the operating system records audit events when users try to access the system kernel, encompassing mutexes and semaphores. Security audit events are generated exclusively for kernel objects with a corresponding System Access Control List (SACL). Typically kernel objects are only given SACLs if the AuditBaseObjects or AuditBaseDirectories auditing options are enabled.

In December 2022, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) identified exploits against vulnerable public-facing applications as the most common initial attack vector for cybercriminals, followed by attacks on external remote services such as VPNs. According to a study by CrowdStrike, exploit activity targeting cloud apps and assets grew 95% from 2021 to 2022, and instances of threat actors directly targeting cloud apps exploded by 288% during that period.

This is not a beginner’s blog post. As such, we will not tell you about the importance of securing your Kubernetes infrastructure (it’s important). However, if you are here to learn about increasing the efficiency of your security work and the blind spots you may have, you have come to the right place. You may have heard of and are already using CVSS as your gold standard for vulnerability prioritization.
