This rooting flaw is definitely a tough one for Linux users. Besides us using in virtual environment, many large organizations deploy Linux servers to run critical web, applications, databases, and so on.
Great article and thanks for sharing. -

According to initial reports, hackers exploited the vulnerability of “internet of things devices” to launch multiple waves of recent DDoS attacks. These devices are labeled “smart home devices,” but perhaps not so smart after all when it comes to cyber security. Strong security technology and methods must be developed for the “internet of things” too .

If this happens to be true, it looks like he needs to protect his business I.T. infrastructure before learning how to protect The U.S.’. Also, how come auditors failed to find such critical vulnerabilities, since he claimed of being audited on a yearly basis? The power of the “Reconnaissance” step.

This article should be a wake-up call for people who often use public Wi-Fi. These statistic numbers are shocking. The way I see this is similar to the driving and texting problem. People in large numbers are aware of local laws against it, but are willing to take the risk regardless. Therefore, better solutions need to be implemented. A quick…[Read more]

Better late than never. This is encouraging to see big companies like PwC finally realizes that cyber security should be an embedded element of their business. With 59% of organizations that participated in PwC’s information survey said they have increased cyber security spending as a result of digitization of their business ecosystem, slowly but…[Read more]

This is a topic that has been in the spotlight over the last few months and hopefully states like Florida, North Carolina, and so forth has implemented necessary adjustments to prevent hacking of their voting systems.
It was actually a good thing this point was raised early enough to help all fifty states to better prepare for any possible attacks. -

To answer your question Loi Van, I believe one of the best ways to force companies to go the extra mile to ensure full protection is for us (consumers) to start taking cyber security more seriously as we should. We have to make them feel cyber security is an important factor in the services big organizations offer. Hopefully Spotify addresses this…[Read more]

Having a month dedicated to cyber security has been a good idea. At work, we have been bombarded with messages regarding Cyber Security national awareness month. I believe the general public is becoming more aware with IT security in general. Organizations need to continue sending messages out so that more people will become interested in security and research the topics themselves.

Compromising security for faster release is definitely not they way to go for obvious reasons Ahmed highlighted above. Ahmed is 100% correct when he mentions that risks of loss outweigh the benefits of faster release. It all may sound no big deal at the beginning, but this is a catastrophe crisis in the making when many prominent financial…[Read more]

It is true that Cyber Security Management is in need of a fresh approach, I also believe so because of the rise of “The internet of things,” Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous vehicle programs. Cyber Security methodologies should evolve as rapidly as the increase of smart devices; however, I am not sure white-listing is the only way to…[Read more]

Nice article and very good piece of information too. This is the sort of catastrophic outcome a simple mistake can produce in the cyber security world. Hackers wouldn’t have to do much work at the Reconnaissance stage to cause damage with vulnerabilities like these. Hopefully Cisco takes necessary measures to avoid repeating such mistakes.

Great article Mengqi.
I’m note sure where to even begin after reading stories like these. The fact that hacker organizations manage to operate like a regular business is out of the norms. This proves that banking systems have major weaknesses and need to do a lot of work to eliminate those flaws. I believe this so-called organization will…[Read more] -

Hello Mauchel/class- this is one of the biggest fears for any country in the year of elections, not only the US.
As we hear more about evidence that Russia has the capabilities of potentially temper a presidential decision, we as nation should prioritize resources to stop that from happening. Our democracy and privilege to elect a president should not be compromised by a foreign country or their government, specially in a malicious manner as hacking into a political party to shift things out.
-
I couldn’t agree more, but after watching the presidential debate the other night where cybersecurity was not even brought up, it concerns me that our government is not doing enough to protect its nation or citizens from cyber attacks. Yes, President Obama has made some strives in budgeting to increase the US Cybersecurity posture, but I don’t think it is being implemented fast enough.
-
Yes they are attempting to make strides and President Obama signed a bill to update the systems of the government, but it seems like it has been happening too much while he has been in office. The next President needs to make this a top priority protecting the confidential information of the citizens of the United States.

Perhaps the real question is why is it legal for regular people to access such tool without being registered. Accessibility plays a big part of the problem. Major corporations that are licensed and government officials should have access to these type of technologies. Other security professionals would need to be registered to use these tools.
