Editor’s note: This is the latest in a series of posts we have planned over the next several weeks where we explore topics such as network monitoring in Kubernetes, using sidecars to sniff and tunnel traffic, show a real-world example of detecting malicious traffic between containers, and more! Please subscribe to the blog, or come back for more each week.
Corporate credential theft is a targeted effort and makes FTSE 100 companies credentials particularly attractive to cybercriminals with accelerated digital transformation (BYOD and hybrid working). Once an attacker gets hold of stolen user credentials and passwords, they can sell the credentials in the cybercrime underground or use them to compromise an organization’s network, bypassing security measures and threaten the credibility and integrity of the institution.
On May 6, 2022, a critical CVE was published for RubyGems, the primary packages source for the Ruby ecosystem. This vulnerability created a window of opportunity for malicious actors to take over gems that met the following criteria: Because RubyGems provides data dumps that include a lot of information, it is unfortunately relatively simple to create an automated mining process for these criteria.
Remediating vulnerabilities efficiently is the cornerstone of a great vulnerability management program. Prioritizing becomes paramount as resources are often limited. Sometimes teams might pinpoint specific vulnerability types that are particularly risky for their attack surfaces, such as a misconfigured Amazon S3 bucket or even a new XSS vulnerability. Users can now filter the /Vulnerabilities view by title, such as a specific type of XSS or even the CVE name.
Snyk Code is turning one! We’ve hit so many milestones in the last 12 months, and today we invite you to look back, celebrate, and peer into the future of code security with us.
In recent times as the field of information is on the rise a new term ‘Ethical Hacking’ has emerged and opened many different avenues for IT and cyber security professionals. Now more and more people are getting familiar with the field of information security and are getting interested in learning about hacking skills.
Many companies look to CISOs or compliance teams to manage security throughout software development. But this practice usually keeps security considerations separate from developers. CISOs can assign security tasks to developers, but if developers aren’t thinking about security regularly, those tasks may be overlooked.
Have you ever wondered what vulnerabilities are exploited the most by threat actors? The answers you have been eagerly waiting for could be found inside a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) coauthored by the cybersecurity authorities of the United States (CISA), Australia (ACSC), Canada (CCCS), New Zealand (NZ NCSC), and the United Kingdom (NCSC-UK), plus the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
