Peer-to-peer (P2P) torrenting users risk downloading malware, accessing unauthorized content, and having their computers infected with viruses, which could limit their online connection and lead to severe repercussions.
About half of all small businesses use cloud-based hosting and infrastructure. Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs) work with cloud security frameworks since the enterprise-grade technology is affordable and easy to use. However, there are still significant risks that users must consider when utilizing these services.
Cybercriminals implement scanning into their attacks to find network machines with open ports that they can utilize to bypass security and harm businesses and employees. Before launching an attack, threat actors run cloud security scanners like Linux Nmap that can sweep servers and find cybersecurity vulnerabilities to exploit. Once they identify a target, an intruder can use TCP stack fingerprinting to determine the type of machine they are breaching.
The GNU C Library on Linux systems can be compared to the control tower at a busy airport; while the tower is essential to overseeing everything at the airport, if a criminal were to enter, they could hijack a plane and put many people at risk. Threat actors have been utilizing a severe vulnerability dubbed "Looney Tunables" (CVE-2023-4911) to infiltrate GNU C Libraries (glibc), stunting functions like network and memory access, file I/O, and more.
Network security threats have grown alarmingly sophisticated, and IT professionals struggle to stay on top of the most recent computer security news about how to keep digital assets safe. Organizations need to build cloud security frameworks that are dynamic and adaptable, just like the risks they could encounter. Linux is an open-source, transparent option that users can implement to provide the ultimate security for their servers.
Data and network security is critical for businesses to run smoothly while maintaining customer trust. When users utilize e-commerce websites to purchase products, sign up for services, provide experience feedback, and more, they input information companies would not typically access. Fortunately, internet users are acting more responsibly by only inputting information for businesses whose employees they trust not to exploit the data.
Security professionals have discovered various cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the popular Squid caching proxy. These network security issues include request and response smuggling in HTTP/1.1 and ICAP (CVE-2023-46846), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) in HTTP Digest Authentication (CVE-2023-46847), and DDoS in FTP (CVE-2023-46848).
Google is a popular search engine technology worldwide, as its capabilities permit users to gain answers and information about any questions they have efficiently. Now, Google is constantly developing new cybersecurity projects, and they have created a feature on Chrome that hides IP addresses by implementing a proxy server between the user and cybercriminals.
Linux has various robust cybersecurity features, making it a popular choice among enterprises. Businesses can carry out critical operations with the peace of mind that they have the support of comprehensive, multi-layered cloud security frameworks to keep all data safe. Effective compliance management, all-encompassing data and network security measures, risk mitigation, and security patching help Linux Security harden your platform, keep away threats, and maintain integrity.
Businesses must digitize their services to provide clients and end users with data and network security while ensuring they have no web application security vulnerabilities that could interfere with the company's reputation and credibility. Linux and Windows serve as bases for most business networks today, and more rely on Linux due to its effective and efficient scalability, security, customization, consistency, and flexibility.
Docker containers provide a convenient way to deploy data management software. However, securing Docker containers that run sensitive data workloads requires careful configuration. Docker's lightweight container technology has become popular in current cybersecurity trends. Docker runs all applications, including databases, data pipelines, analytics tools, and other data management software.
Designing, developing, or managing a website requires a lot of effort. Fortunately, with modern open-source website builders and free online resources, even beginners can launch professional and secure websites. This article will discuss the basics of creating a website, including the technologies involved, best practices, and the best network security toolkits to implement.
Network applications are most effective at communication when following the client-server model. Programming these services allows organizations to configure codes to meet business needs.
Understanding and utilizing software security has become paramount in today's interconnected digital landscape. Computer security news constantly warns of newly evolving network security threats, which means that organizations must implement the most comprehensive testing and security practices to ensure employees are secure. With an open-source nature and robust capabilities, Linux has the ideal cloud security framework for conducting thorough software security patching and testing.
Linux proxy servers are essential for individuals and organizations looking to enhance their online privacy, data, network security, and browsing experience. In this comprehensive article, we will explore the concept of proxy servers, discuss the advantages of using a Linux proxy server, dive into the risks associated with their usage, highlight Squid as an efficient and user-friendly Linux proxy server, and provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up the HTTP proxy on Linux.
In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber and network security threats, staying one step ahead of malicious actors is an ongoing challenge for organizations. As technology advances, so too do cybercriminals’ tactics. In this high-stakes digital battlefield, Linux Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) emerges as a knight in shining armor for modern cybersecurity strategies. Let’s examine what Linux EDR is, how it can help fortify your Linux devices against today’s sophisticated cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and some excellent EDR software and network security toolkits available to Linux users.
Do you love Linux because of its user-friendly, exceptionally secure, heavy-duty, and open-source features that are easy to customize and maintain? If so, you’re not alone. It is no wonder Linux has captured the lion's share of the IT market.
LinuxSecurity.com has been using the open-source Joomla Content Management System (CMS) and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) scripting language for nearly three decades and recently migrated to the latest versions, Joomla 4 and PHP 8. This allows LinuxSecurity to use new features and optimizations to provide visitors with an enhanced user experience. We’ve decided to pull back the curtain on our experience with the migration to Joomla 4 and PHP 8 to give users planning to migrate their websites insight into the lessons we learned.
When dealing with a system crash due to a kernel panic, it is crucial to leave the “panic” to the kernel and focus on troubleshooting in a calm, structured way. This approach will help you get things running smoothly in less time and minimize stress and headaches in the process.
Will the pre-pandemic norm of exclusively in-office work ever return? The answer is a resounding no.
