Splunk: Top Trends to Protect Your Servers - and Your Business - with Centralized Infrastructure Monitoring

Appfleet - an edge cloud platform for improving the efficiency of business processes - launched
Appfleet - an edge hosting platform that allows companies to easily deploy docker containers in multiple locations at the same time, improving the efficiency of business processes and reducing latency - is debuting on the market.

The LLMNR/NBT-NS strike
Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) and NetBIOS Name Service (NBT-NS) are two protocols that are used to identify a host address on a network when the DNS name resolution, which is the conventional method, fails to do so. When a DNS server is unable to resolve a request from a requester machine, the latter broadcasts a message to its peer computers asking for the location of the required server. Hackers leverage this operation to steal the credentials of the requester machine.

A new vulnerability, CVE-2020-8557, has been detected in kubelet. It can be exploited by writing into /etc/hosts to cause a denial of service.
