5 free network-vulnerability scanners

March 9, 2021 TH Author Network Monitoring, Network Security, Security

Though you may know and follow basic security measures on your own when installing and managing your network and websites, you’ll never be able to keep up with and catch all the vulnerabilities by yourself.Vulnerability scanners can help you automate security auditing and can play a crucial part in your IT security. They can scan your network and websites for up to thousands of different security risks, producing a prioritized list of those you should patch, describe the vulnerabilities, and give steps on how to remediate them. Some can even automate the patching process.Though vulnerability scanners and security auditing tools can cost a fortune, there are free options as well. Some only look at specific vulnerabilities or limit how many hosts can be scanned but there are also those that offer broad IT security scanning.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…

Cisco issues 3 critical warnings around ACI, NS-OX security holes

February 24, 2021 TH Author Network Security, Security

Cisco has issued three security advisories rated “critical” for some of its high-end software systems—two aimed at its Application Services Engine (ASE) implementation and one at the NX-OS operating system.The most concerning warning came for Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO) installed with the ASE which was rated a worse-case scenario, 10 out of a possible 10 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator lets customers control application-access policies across Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller-based fabrics.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…

The pro-Trump rioters who invaded the Capitol on January 6 came with smartphones to record and celebrate what they thought was a righteous effort to prevent president-elect Joe Biden from taking office two weeks later.Now those electronic devices, along with the GPS data they generated, are being used to track the location of rioters within the building as federal law enforcement officials continue to make arrests and build criminal cases.Among the acts being investigated: breaking through police barriers, smashing windows, and assaulting police officers and media members. Five people died including a Capitol Hill police officer who was bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…

How the network can support zero trust

August 17, 2020 TH Author access control, Network Security, Networking, SDN, Security

Simply stated, zero trust calls for verifying every user and device that tries to access the network and enforcing strict access-control and identity management that limits authorized users to accessing only those resources they need to do their jobs.Zero trust is an architecture, so there are many potential solutions available, but this is a look at those that fit in the realm of networking.[Get regularly scheduled insights by signing up for Network World newsletters.]
Least privilege
One broad principle of zero trust is least privilege, which is granting individuals access to just enough resources to carry out their jobs and nothing more. One way to accomplish this is network segmentation, which breaks the network into unconnected sections based on authentication, trust, user role, and topology. If implemented effectively, it can isolate a host on a segment and minimize its lateral or east–west communications, thereby limiting the “blast radius” of collateral damage if a host is compromised. Because hosts and applications can reach only the limited resources they are authorized to access, segmentation prevents attackers from gaining a foothold into the rest of the network.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…
