Being one of the world’s largest cloud platforms comes with its own set of challenges. In the case of AWS, the major challenge is maintaining their platform’s security.

On Wednesday, the 24th of May, 2023, Zyxel released a security advisory for several vulnerabilities capable of granting unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) in their line of Firewall and VPN products, tracked as CVE-2023-33009 and CVE-2023-33010. These buffer overflow vulnerabilities are also capable of inducing denial of service conditions.

Penetration testing is crucial to ensuring a resilient security posture within an organization. It simulates an attack on the system, application, or network to discover vulnerabilities before hackers do. Developers often use penetration testing to verify that applications’ internal resources are safe from unauthorized access. In this situation, the tester or ethical hacker serves as a malicious actor. They gather as much information about the system as possible to find exploitable weaknesses.

The number of detected common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) has significantly increased in the past decade. In the last five years, security researchers reported over 100,000 new CVEs. The highest reported annual figure was in 2022, with over 25,000 new CVEs. This number can overwhelm any security team if it’s not managed correctly between assessment, reporting, remediation, and monitoring.

Over the past two months, the Cyberint research team has witnessed an extensive campaign in which threat actors are actively exploiting the recently discovered vulnerability in the PaperCut print management platform. The Cyberint research team has identified a significant trend in relation to these recent attacks and associated incidents linked to this vulnerability.

A security violation in the form of a data breach can create costly damage to a company's reputation. But what exactly is a data breach? The European Commission has divided data breaches into three distinct categories — confidentiality breaches, integrity breaches, and availability breaches: In this article, you'll learn more about what a data breach is and how you can prevent data breaches when designing and developing your software.
