Recently, a critical out-of-bounds vulnerability, assigned to CVE-2021-44142, was disclosed in Samba versions prior to 4.13.17. The Samba vulnerability carries a critical CVSS of 9.9 and allows attackers to remotely execute code on machines running a Samba server with a vulnerable configuration. The vulnerability was disclosed as part of the Pwn2Own Austin competition where researchers are challenged to exploit widely-used software and devices with unknown vulnerabilities.

Just like many other production DevOps engineering teams, our JFrog team deploys new version releases several times a day to AWS, Azure and GCP, across more than 20 cloud regions. This process used to take us many hours and could have even failed if it was done alongside maintenance by other teams.

In our daily life we can face different difficulties. From spilling coffee on our clean shirt just before leaving home to not finding an emoji that satisfies us to answer that someone we like.

In this article, we’ll deep dive into all the basics to help you decide if AWS RDS is the right decision for your architecture and help you hit the ground running if you do end up AWS RDS. For many decades now, relational databases (RDS) have been the place to store your data. They are pretty flexible often use some kind of SQL dialect, which is one of the main languages taught in computer science classes, and widely understood by the average developer.

With these looming threats, companies must know how to prevent supply chain attacks and find new means of securing against cybersecurity breaches.

Many US military, government or critical national infrastructure organisation workloads that require FIPS compliance are also required to be deployed in air-gapped environments to provide an extra layer of protection.

Brocade, a Broadcom Company, named 2/8/2022 as End-of-Support (EOS) for Brocade Network Advisor (BNA), the collection mechanism for Brocade fabrics. Broadcom recommends Brocade SANnav as a replacement for BNA. To continue providing industry-leading infrastructure intelligence, Galileo’s new v2 agent for Brocade will use the REST functionality to collect all the configuration and performance metrics required. Read on for all the details you need to know.

It takes only a glance at the daily headlines to see that cybercriminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to breach cloud defenses and access sensitive data. The complexity of cloud frameworks makes it extraordinarily difficult to detect nefarious activities. In many cases, attackers lurk in systems for weeks or months before pulling the trigger.
