B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

The digital landscape in Europe is facing a significant change with the publication of the NIS2 Directive. The implementation of this digital transformation is closely linked to the development of cyber security. Governments around the world are now taking action to increase the protection of critical infrastructure from cyber threats. This policy, which aims to increase security and resilience in the cyber environment, particularly affects the growing number of Kubernetes users. Understanding NIS2 The NIS2 Directive consists of a landmark regulation that addresses cyber security and digital infrastructure in the European Union. Your main goal is to…

Endangered artifacts and container images

A pioneer in cloud-native security has discovered thousands of exposed registries and artifact repositories containing over 250 million artifacts and over 65.000 container images. Many of these artifacts and images contained highly confidential and sensitive proprietary code and "secrets". Aqua's team of IT security researchers, Team Nautilus, uncovered misconfigurations that put thousands of companies of all sizes at risk worldwide - including five from the Fortune 500 and two major IT security vendors. At IBM, for example, an internal container registry was exposed to the Internet: After Nautilus researchers informed the local security team, Internet access to these environments was closed and the risks minimized. Aqua has…

Container images: 87 percent with high-risk vulnerabilities

According to the Sysdig study, 87 percent of container images are said to have high-risk vulnerabilities. The 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Usage Report finds massive risk in the supply chain, along with more than $10 million in wasteful spending on large-scale cloud deployments. Sysdig, the leader in cloud and container security, announces the results of the "Sysdig 2023 Cloud-Native Security and Usage Report". The report, which focuses on two themes this year, shows that supply chain risk and readiness to implement a Zero Trust architecture are the top unresolved security issues in cloud and container environments...

Defense against container-based zero-day attacks

A new cloud-native security solution can stop zero-day attacks and shield critical production vulnerabilities until a patch can be applied. Aqua Security introduces the eBPF Lightning Enforcer. Powered by new eBPF technology, Lightning Enforcer provides full visibility into running workloads, making it easy for security professionals to identify and stop even advanced attacks in real time. Shift Left is an important factor in preventing vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and software supply chain threats from entering production environments. However, sometimes this security approach is not enough. This has led to a…

New attack paths: Dangerous macros hidden in ISO, LNK, RAR & Co

The use of macros to spread malware has declined significantly: by as much as 2021 percent between October 2022 and June 66. However, attackers are beginning to use tricks to circumvent the protection. Commonly, cyber criminals use VBA macros to automatically execute malicious content if a user has macros enabled in Office applications. XL4 macros, on the other hand, are specific to the Excel application, but can also be used by attackers as a tool for spreading malware. The masterminds behind macro-based attacks typically use social engineering to convince the recipient…

Hardware, API Server, and Container Risks with Kubernetes

Kubernetes is extremely popular, but without proper security measures, it also comes with risks. Security expert CyberArk names three specific risks and shows which defensive measures are required to get hardware, API server and container risks in Kubernetes under control. In software development today, speed and agility are key. Container technology is being used to an increasing extent. Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for managing containerized workloads and services. Security Considerations in Kubernetes From a security perspective, the Kubernetes orchestration platform brings with it specific identity-related challenges that need to be addressed early in the development process. Otherwise...
