What's in store for defenders as attackers increasingly try to target the ubiquitous Apache Log4j vulnerability? "Everyone is a target," says veteran cybersecurity leader Etay Maor, whose team at Cato Networks has been analyzing hundreds of attacks that already attempt to exploit the flaw.
Like CISOs everywhere, Dawn Cappelli of Rockwell Automation awoke last Friday to news about the Log4j vulnerability and the risk it posed to her company, customers and partners. Here is how she approached triage, response and capturing insights to be shared with other security leaders.
The year is ending with a cybersecurity bang - not whimper - due to the widespread prevalence of the Apache Log4j vulnerability. Researchers warn that at least 40% of corporate networks have been targeted by attackers seeking to exploit the flaw. More than 250 vendors have already issued security advisories.
Accenture's State of Cybersecurity Resilience 2021 study finds that 55% of large companies are not effectively stopping cyberattacks, finding and fixing breaches quickly, or reducing the impact of breaches. Ryan LaSalle of Accenture Security discusses how to increase cyber resiliency.
Multiple security researchers have spotted threat actors already exploiting the Apache Log4j vulnerability by deploying Muhstik and Mirai botnets to target Linux devices. Their advice: Ensure to remove any existing compromise before patching, and expect this flaw to be exploited for the long term.
In today's disparate IT environment, there are gaping, business critical gaps in enterprise log management. Graylog's Mark Brooks discusses the Log Management Maturity Model and the six (6) critical steps to move from "no alignment" to "continuous improvement."
A massive wave of ongoing attacks has been targeting more than 1.6 million WordPress sites, researchers at Wordfence say. So far, they've counted more than 13.7 million individual attacks in just 36 hours, focused on exploiting four different WordPress plug-ins and several Epsilon framework themes.
Researchers have developed and released an urgent "vaccine" for a zero-day vulnerability detected in the Java logging library Apache Log4j on Friday. It is reported that the vulnerability is being exploited by advanced persistent threat-level actors.
