If you’ve ever wondered whether your background qualifies you for a career in cybersecurity, you’re not alone — and you’re probably more prepared than you think. My name is Shannon Brazil, and I work in security communications at Amazon Web Services (AWS). I have been in the security space for over a decade, and my […]
SonicWall has released hotfixes for four flaws in its SMA1000 appliances, the gateways that give remote workers access to a company's network and applications. The most serious could allow an attacker without a login to send requests through the appliance and reach internal functions. SonicWall rates it 10.0 on the CVSS scale and says it has no evidence that any of the four flaws is being

In cloud-centered environments, establishing trust between workloads is fundamental to securing machine-to-machine communication. Traditional approaches such as API keys, shared secrets, and static service account credentials weren’t designed for the scale and ephemeral nature of cloud workloads. This drives an organizational need to shift from long-term, static credentials to short-lived cryptographic workload identities. Organizations are […]
The situation illustrates a trend toward using AI and deterministic validation to identify flaws and exploitability, and provide a risk assessment.
You’re building a data agent that lets business users ask questions about lakehouse data in natural language. You’ve already built governance policies that control who can access which datasets. The challenge is making the agent respect those rules without rebuilding them in your application code. When a user asks a question, the agent maps it […]
A malicious spreadsheet can make LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice run an attacker's code as soon as the file is opened, security researchers have shown. There is no warning first, of the kind either program shows before it runs a macro. The attack works only when the program's Java support is enabled. So far, it has only been shown as a proof of concept, and there are no reports of its use in
Google has stopped accepting product vulnerability reports through its bug bounty program for its open-source software. The change, in effect since October 1, means researchers can no longer submit security flaws in the code of projects such as Go, Angular, and Protocol Buffers there for a reward. Reports about supply chain compromises are still accepted, and reports filed before October 1 are
As AI models become more capable, they uncover more security vulnerabilities and identify increasingly sophisticated paths to exploit them, raising the bar for how quickly defenders must respond. Security teams now face more potential vulnerabilities than their existing processes were designed to handle — each requiring investigation, reproduction, and a repair that must be tested […]
