NetWitness, a vendor of networking threat-analysis software, is offering a free version of its NetWitness Investigator package by download, the company said Monday. NetWitness Investigator is different from most other network-scanning software in that it uses forensic tools to examine applications and changes on content on the network, as well as attacks coming from outside [...]
In this series we are looking at the subject of computer security and how we as an industry can do a better job convincing the general public that security does matter. Last week we opened up with a look into the problem, and highlighted several really big problems that the security community has to overcome. This [...]
The team I work in uses both automated scanners, along with a few humans testing (minimum of 2)… A good tester should know the weaknesses of the automated testers. The problem with automated testers, is, simply put, they are not human. That is they will not have intuition that a given function in a [...]
What’s happening on the enterprise network-or more to the point, what’s occurring on the network that should not be-is a major concern of security executives. If someone is trying to hack in, or a virus or worm is spreading, or a denial-of-service attack is underway, there might be evidence of these types of activities before [...]
RSA announced the findings of its latest insider threat survey, conducted among attendees at industry events in North America and Latin America in 2008. The survey polled 417 individuals - including delegates at the RSA Conference - who confessed to their work-related security behaviors and attitudes. The survey respondents work across a range of industries, with [...]
Over the last 10 years, our world has become interconnected in ways not previously imaginable. Today, for instance, people in Spain, the U.S., and Brazil can find out simultaneously that soccer-star Wayne Rooney is starting to look a bit more like himself – at last! Small companies can now affordably be spread across the globe, and [...]
Spam and virus attacks are declining, but malicious Web sites have taken a big leap, according to the September Intelligence Report from MessageLabs. The figures back up reports from numerous security firms and experts that Web-based attacks are now the vehicle of choice for distributing malware. In September, 70.1% of all emails tracked by MessageLabs were [...]
The world’s largest quantum encrypted network has been unveiled in Vienna, Austria, providing a glimpse of how data could be securely transmitted in the future. The network is the result of more than four years of work, with 41 organizations from 12 countries working to integrate quantum cryptography into a modern business network. The project has [...]
Microsoft plans to release 11 security bulletins, four rated critical, for its October Patch Tuesday. The security bulletins cover multiple Microsoft products, including Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office Excel. Microsoft is planning to release 11 security bulletins Oct. 14 on Patch Tuesday. Four of the bulletins are rated "critical" and cover vulnerabilities that can lead to [...]
Even though the vulnerability counts have dropped, the number of vulnerabilities is not zero. And, even in my wildest dreams, I do not think we will get to zero. I will explain why shortly. In the very early days of the SDL, Microsoft focused heavily on removing design and code-level security vulnerabilities; as we progressed, [...]
Apple Inc. patched 40 vulnerabilities in Mac OS X yesterday — more than half of them labeled with the company’s equivalent of "critical" — and in the process broke the 250-bug bar for the year. Collectively dubbed Security Update 2008-007, the fixes patched flaws in Finder, QuickLook, ColorSync and a host of open-source components that Apple [...]
Transit systems across Canada stand to lose tens of thousands of dollars to fare fraud, and access to office buildings could be compromised, after a security flaw in some of their smart-card technology was widely publicized this week. Computer-security researchers at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands revealed how the smart-card technology, called Mifare, can [...]
A trio of German software firms claims to have developed a password system that prevents Trojans and viruses from stealing passwords from a Windows machine. The “Trojan-proof” virtual keyboard software, which was developed by Global IP Telecommunications, PMC Ciphers, and CyProtect AG, is available in a free beta version for download. "This development can make input [...]
As important as security is, remaining current with every development is hard, and evaluating possible vulnerabilities across a network can be quite a chore. You need a way to both automate tests and make sure you’re running the most appropriate and up-to-date tests. Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) is a network security scanner that includes a [...]
The increased monitoring and profiling of Internet users by companies such as Google Inc. and its DoubleClick online advertising subsidiary is widely seen as one of the biggest threats to online privacy. But in reality, said university professor Paul Ohm, the potential for the same kind of activities by ISPs poses a much greater privacy [...]
Web browsing on SSL sites may not be as secure as you think. Security researcher Mike Perry has released additional details about his CookieMonster tool, which can be used to steal private data via HTTPS cookies. Mike Perry spoke about the issue at the Defcon security conference. Talk of HTTPS cookie hijacking is pushing its way [...]
What if you wanted to build your own botnet to act as a spam relay or to launch a denial-of-service attack against an organization or a country? "It’s actually a lot of work," says Joe Stewart, director of malware research at SecureWorks. I had a chance to talk with Stewart at this year’s Black Hat security [...]
Microsoft Corp. today patched eight vulnerabilities, all rated critical, in four security updates for Windows, Office, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer 6, SQL Server and other programs. Unlike last month, when Microsoft issued 12 bulletins that fixed 26 flaws, today’s patched vulnerabilities did not include any that have already been exploited in the wild. "It doesn’t [...]
VMware Inc.’s recent release of a large number of patches for its virtualization offerings is likely to be the first of many, as hackers increasingly focus their attention on virtualized environments. That’s according to security vendor Fortify Software Inc., which is urging companies to be cautious if they’re thinking of adopting virtualization technology. Last week, the [...]
