RDS Clipboard Redirection: Should you allow it?

In this article we will provide basic information regarding the Clipboard Redirection setting, which enables the copy past function in remote desktop. Once you have decided the setting’s desired value, be sure and test it to fully understand what will be its impact on your production. This is critical since you don’t want it to result in damage to production. Configuring RDS Clipboard Redirection settings is a fundamental step in the hardening project.

The Essential List of Terraform Modules and Their Purposes

Rapid and constantly-evolving software development cycles have increased the need for reliable and fast infrastructure changes. Thus manually carrying out infrastructure changes has become an unscalable process – which is what Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools are here to solve. They enable teams to codify their infrastructure configurations and integrate them directly into their CI/CD pipelines.

Building Your Security Analytics Use Cases

It’s time again for another meeting with senior leadership. You know that they will ask you the hard questions, like “how do you know that your detection and response times are ‘good enough’?” You think you’re doing a good job securing the organization. You haven’t had a security incident yet. At the same time, you also know that you have no way to prove your approach to security is working. You’re reading your threat intelligence feeds.

Keeper Commander - Using SSH Command

Keeper Commander can establish basic SSH connections through the command line interface on any device using the native SSH connection tool. Commander's ssh command provides instant SSH connections for any "SSH" Record Type in the vault. To create an “SSH” type record in your vault, create a new record and select “SSH key” as your record type. Paste your private key to the appropriate field in your record and populate the login and hostname fields.

Using the Snyk Vulnerability Database to find projects for The Big Fix

As developers, we all have our morning startup routine: make coffee, check Slack/Discord/email, read the latest news. One thing I do as part of my daily startup routine is check the Snyk Vulnerability Database for the latest open source vulnerabilities. It’s been especially interesting to see the types of exploits and vulnerabilities that appear in different ecosystems.

Is there such a thing as Spring4Shell?

Very early in the morning on March 30th (for me), my colleague DeveloperSteve posted a “Hey, have you seen this?” message in our slack channel. It was an “advance warning” of a “probable” remote code execution (RCE) in the massively popular Java Spring framework. I would come to find out that even earlier than that, the Snyk Security team started investigation a potential RCE in Spring after seeing a tweet that has since been deleted.

Building a secure GraphQL API with Node.js

GraphQL provides security straight out of the box with validation and type-checking. However, it doesn’t fully address security concerns around APIs. In this article, we’ll learn how to secure GraphQL APIs by building a simple Node.js application using Fastify and GraphQL. According to its official documentation, GraphQL is a graph query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with our data.

How CloudCasa Helps Organizations Address Data Protection Weaknesses in Kubernetes

In a recent episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sat down with Sathya Sankaran, Chief Operating Officer at CloudCasa by Catalogic, to discuss how the Kubernetes ecosystem is shifting and how CloudCasa is helping organizations address the data protection weaknesses in Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure and adopt these new technologies.

CVE-2022-23648 - Arbitrary Host File Access from containers launched by containerd CRI and its impact on Kubernetes

Recently discovered vulnerability - CVE-2022-23648 - in containerd, a popular container runtime, allows especially containers to gain read-only access to files from the host machine. While general container isolation is expected to prevent such access, in Kubernetes, it is especially dangerous because well-known and highly sensitive files are stored in known locations on the host.
