Odds are, you've heard about the dark web. Nevertheless, you may be unsure about its threat to your business and how to address it. The dark web is a set of anonymously hosted websites within the deep web accessible through anonymizing software, commonly "TOR" (The Onion Router). The anonymity these websites provide makes them the perfect online marketplace for illegal activities.

The MITRE ATT@CK® framework is one of the most widely known and used. The Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS) incorporates knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Using ADS and its MITRE ATT&CK knowledge makes detecting advanced threats against networks and IT systems easier and simplifies explaining the danger and risks when outlining an attack to all stakeholders.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices, computing devices that send and receive information via the Internet and that run very specific applications, can be anything from smart thermostats to smart TVs. The main advantage of IoT devices is their constant connectivity, which allows users to access information and control the devices remotely at any time.

Connected devices require a secure point-to-point channel to ensure that there is no possibility of exposing important data for the integrity of an embedded system. This is especially true when we talk about over-the-air (OTA) software updates, where the new firmware has a long way to go before reaching its destination and being installed by our bootloader. In this publication, we will explore a simple method to encrypt the firmware using the AES algorithm, using open-source libraries in Python.

Access control is a vital security measure that manages user interactions with systems, networks, or resources, safeguarding sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access. By granting or denying specific permissions based on user roles, organizations ensure that only authorized individuals have access to data, mitigating the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.

We are excited to announce the publication of our 2023 State of Calico Open Source, Usage & Adoption report! The report compiles survey results from more than 1,200 Calico Open Source users from around the world, who are actively using Calico in their container and Kubernetes environments. It sheds light on how they are using Calico across various environments, while also highlighting different aspects of Calico’s adoption in terms of platforms, data planes, and policies.
