When it comes to identifying potential security vulnerabilities in software, the technology industry has relied upon the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) system for more than two decades. Red Hat is a long-time contributor to this program, first helping the CVE system to work with the open source community and, more recently, serving as a CVE Naming Authority (CNA).

The beta of Red Hat Insights malware detection service is now available.

In this article, we explore what Red Hat Insights and Red Hat Satellite have to offer individually, and then we will look at how you can have a heightened experience of the two products with the use of Cloud Connector.

This article is the first in a two-part series. Here we take a step back and look at the evolving IT security risk landscape and how it is impacting organizations, after which we'll look at a suggested automated compliance architecture.

With the uptick in software supply chain attacks over the last couple of years, we have harnessed a particular focus on software supply chain security within our Product Security organization. The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), in collaboration with several companies including Red Hat, recently published version 0.1 of a new security framework targeted specifically for software supply chains aligned with SSDF—Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA).

Red Hat Product Security has been developing RapiDAST, a tool that can be used for security testing of products and services. DAST stands for dynamic application (or analysis) security testing. In this article, we introduce the tool and ideas that can help you with applying DAST into your software development life cycle.

In this article, I’ll go over some typical problems users may face with Fedora SHA-1 status (including some possible workarounds), and how you can update your infrastructure to use a more secure SHA-256.

At Red Hat, we recognise the importance of implementing security measures early in the software development life cycle (SDLC), as breaches are becoming more evident in today's society. Our work in Red Hat Product Security is to help minimize the software-based risks of enterprise open source from Red Hat , while affording the many benefits that only open source can provide.

There are a million ways for awful things to happen to your data and accounts. For example, someone could accidentally commit their AWS access keys publicly to GitHub, and attackers quickly run up $100,000 in charges mining cryptocurrency on expensive GPU-enabled instances. Or "account support" calls with a notice that your account has false charges, but they can remove them once they verify your credit card info. There are fake software updates that steal bank account information.

Ravie Lakshmanan's recent article CISA warns of active exploitation of 'PwnKit' Linux vulnerability in the wild articulates the vulnerability in Polkit (CVE-2021-4034) and recommends "to mitigate any potential risk of exposure to cyberattacks… that organizations prioritize timely remediation of the issues," while "federal civilian executive branch agencies, however, are required to mandatorily patch the flaws by July 18
