Comprehensive CNAPP coverage for Kubernetes and containers in a single solution.

**WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/** — Uptycs, provider of the first unified CNAPP and XDR solution, today announced enhanced Kubernetes and container security capabilities. These new features provide threat detection for container runtime correlated with the Kubernetes control plane attacks alongside scanning of container images in registries for vulnerabilities, malware, credentials, secret keys, and other sensitive information.

According to the latest Cloud Native Computing Foundation survey, 96% of organizations are either using or evaluating Kubernetes — the highest percentage since the surveys began in 2016.1 Yet many organizations are not prepared to detect threats against these new deployments. "Kubernetes-orchestrated clusters are essentially 'clouds within clouds.' The monitoring and visibility of the Kubernetes logs, network flows and application behaviors within the cluster should be baselined and analyzed for indications of compromise," recommends Gartner.2

Organizations can detect attacks against their Kubernetes deployments by adopting a shift up approach to cybersecurity, in which telemetry emanating from Kubernetes clusters and containers, laptops, and cloud services is normalized at the point of collection, but processed, correlated, and analyzed in a data lake.

Unlike siloed endpoint and cloud security solutions, Uptycs protects the entire arc of cloud-native application development, from the developer's laptop to container runtime. "Threat actors know a developer's laptop is often just one hop away from cloud infrastructure," said Ganesh Pai, co-founder and CEO of Uptycs. "Uptycs correlates risk signals from the modern attack surface for lightning-fast, contextualized detection and response. We do this with our unique, telemetry-powered approach and Detection Cloud. It's a shift up approach to cybersecurity that brings together multiple teams and types of IT infrastructure into a unified data model and UI."

"Our security team is organized around six domains, including threat detection and response, risk and compliance, application security, data security, infrastructure security, and enterprise security," said Anwar Reddick, Director of Information Security at Greenlight Financial. "Having a single solution like Uptycs that traverses these domains, and contextualizes threat activity across multiple asset types like Kubernetes, cloud services, and laptops improves cross-domain collaboration and insights. As a result, we've dramatically shortened our threat investigation time."

New Kubernetes and container runtime security features include:

*   **Kubernetes threat detections** — Combines anomalous Kubernetes actions with actions on a granular container lever, Uptycs is able to observe in real-time and store the behavior for investigation; this reduces mean time to detection (MTTD), collects forensic evidence for investigation, and determines the full scope of the incident as it happens
*   **Registry scanning** — Enables the ability to look for vulnerabilities in container images in a registry; Uptycs supports many registries, including AWS ECR, Azure Container Registry, DockerHub, and jFrog Artifactory
*   **Secret scanning** — Provides the ability to look for private keys, credentials, and other secrets stored in container images
*   **NSA/CISA hardening checks** — Ensures that Kubernetes deployments are set up per the updated hardening guidance provided by the U.S. National Security Agency and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. For example, ensuring that pod security and network security policies are in line with guidance

Uptycs fills in security visibility gaps with a single solution to protect container-based applications, whether they are run on-premises or in the cloud, from bare-metal to a serverless deployment. With Uptycs, customers can identify vulnerabilities early in the process, verify secure configurations, ensure compliance posture against standards like CIS benchmarks for Linux and Docker, and continuously monitor the runtime in production.

Uptycs was recognized as a Sample Vendor for Container and Kubernetes Security in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Application Security, 2022 and the Gartner Hype Cycle for Network and Workload Security, 2022. In addition, Uptycs was recognized as a Sample Vendor in the report from Gartner, Emerging Tech: CIEM Is Required for Cloud Security and IAM Providers to Compete.

Uptycs will be at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon from Oct. 24 - 28, 2022 in Detroit, Michigan. To learn more, please stop by booth #G29 or visit: https://www.uptycs.com/lp-kubecon-2022-request-a-meeting

A multilayered attack technique that took center stage in 2020 and has only grown more endemic.

The mention of "election security" among cybersecurity practitioners typically conjures up concerns about voting machine tampering, vulnerabilities, and the possibility of data breaches. But there's more to it than hardware, software, and process. Misinformation and disinformation are extremely pressing problems that are commingled with traditional cybersecurity — a multilayered attack technique that took center stage in 2020 and has only grown more endemic since.

Time may be running out as the midterms approach, but security teams on the front lines — those that work with voting equipment manufacturers, businesses that supply component parts, and those within government agencies responsible for ensuring the integrity of election equipment — can still take integral steps to combat this very dangerous threat.

As far as misinformation and disinformation are concerned, neither is a new concept. The practice of spreading mis- and disinformation (aka "fake news") can be traced back as far as circa 27 BC, when then Roman emperor Caesar Augustus spread lies about his nemesis, Mark Antony, to gain public favor.

"Misinformation" is the unintentional spread of disinformation. "Disinformation" is the intentional spread of false information that is purposely meant to mislead and influence public opinion. This may contain tiny snippets of factual information that have been highly manipulated, helping to create confusion and casting doubt on what's fact and what's not.

In just the past few weeks, a clerk in Mesa County, Colorado, entered a not guilty plea for charges relating to her alleged involvement with election equipment tampering. She, alongside a colleague, are being held accountable for providing access to an unauthorized individual who copied hard drives and accessed passwords for a software security update (the passwords were later distributed online). The accused clerks publicly spread disinformation about election security prior to the incident.

In Georgia, election officials recently decided to replace voting equipment after forensic experts hired by a pro-Trump group were caught copying numerous components of the equipment, including software and data. It has not been found that the outcome of the election was impacted, but the fact of compromise sows the seeds of doubt and begs the question: How and where could the stolen data be used again to influence elections?

And back in February 2022, election officials in Washington state decided to remove intrusion detection software from voting machines, claiming that the devices were part of a left-wing conspiracy theory to spy on voters.

And unfortunately, the preponderance of public platforms on which anyone can voice an opinion on a topic — even if it's without a shred of factual information — makes it simple for that voice to be heard. The result is constant public questioning about the veracity of any information and data.

The amount of dis- and misinformation that can be spread grows proportionally alongside the cyberattack surface. Reasonably, the more places people can post, share, like, and comment on information (of any ilk), the wider and farther it will spread, making identification and containment more challenging.

**Be Proactive When Fighting Back Against Disinformation**

Needless to say, it's best to be proactive when building systems, deploying tools, and implementing cybersecurity controls. But attacks are also inevitable, some of which will be successful. To maintain trust, it's imperative to institute fast, reliable identification and remediation mechanisms that reduce mean time to detect and respond.

Recommended practices that will work to slow this impending threat include:

*   **Continuously monitor infrastructure:** Identify all relevant systems in use, who/what is using those systems, and how those systems are used. Set baselines for usual and expected activity, and then monitor for anomalous activity. For example, look for unusually high levels of activity from system or user accounts. This may be indicative that a malicious user has taken over an account, or that bots are being used to disrupt systems or send disinformation.

*   **Test all systems:** Whether the software/hardware used in voting machines or the people who have/need authorized access, test for vulnerabilities and weaknesses, apply remediation where possible, and triage any identified issues along the way.

*   **Verify who has access to systems:** Apply multifactor authentication to prevent account takeover and verify human versus bot activity to help prevent the malicious use of bots in spreading disinformation.

*   **Profile:** Understand the most likely targets/subjects of election-related mis-/disinformation. These are often high-profile individuals or organizations with strong political stances (and, of course, the candidates themselves). It may be necessary to place greater security controls on those individuals' accounts to protect against data leakage, account takeover, smear campaigns, etc. Use the same methods for protecting systems/tools/technologies threat actors use to create and disseminate false information.

*   **Apply machine learning:** Study digital personas, bot activity, and AI-generated campaigns. Use baselines for "normal" behavior to contrast with anomalous behavior. Machine learning can also be used for keyword targeting — identifying certain words or phrases used by people propagating disinformation and misinformation. When problematic language is used — or language is found that indicates an attack may be in the planning — flag activity or automate security controls to have it analyzed and removed or quarantined.

It is unfortunately the case that humans will continue to manipulate machines for their own benefit. And in today's society, machines are used to influence human thinking. When it comes to elections and election security, we need to be focused just as heavily on how machines are used to influence the voting public. When this "influence" comes in the form of misinformation and disinformation, cybersecurity professionals can be a huge help in stopping the spread.

Cybersecurity's Role in Combating Midterm Election Disinformation

Fact: Medical devices are often designed with convenience and functionality in mind, rather than security. 
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Why IoT Security in Healthcare is Crucial

When it comes to health care, the stakes are high. That’s why IoT security for healthcare is crucial. IoT devices are becoming increasingly prevalent in healthcare. From wearable devices to medical implants, these devices have the potential to revolutionize patient care. However, they also introduce new security risks.

Medical devices are often designed with convenience and functionality in mind, rather than security. This can make them easy targets for attackers. If an attacker gains access to a device, they could potentially exploit it to steal sensitive data or disrupt critical operations.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has also become a powerful tool for individuals and businesses to leverage. By connecting devices to a network, they can be utilized to generate vast volumes of crucial information that aid in business models and effective process management.

In healthcare institutions, IoT devices are just like regular networked devices. It is crucial that these devices are kept safe as part of cyber security practices in the industry. Healthcare institutions have some powerful options available to them to secure their attack surface in this modern age, though. 

Sepio, for example, has developed a solution for healthcare IoT security. Their solution monitors IoT hardware devices, in real-time to give healthcare facilities full asset visibility.

**Healthcare industry Uses of IoT Technology**

Advancements in healthcare IoT devices are being made at a rapid pace with healthcare institutions taking full advantage of the improvements they bring. 

**Handheld Smart Devices**

These devices are typically utilized to give caregivers immediate access to accurate patient history and up-to-date diagnostic and personal information. This is possibly one of the healthcare industry’s most useful and widely utilized IoT devices.

Some institutions even pair these handheld devices with other technologies like smart pens. Apart from the ability to be used for writing, these pens can record pen strokes and transmit information to servers in real-time.

**Monitoring Tools**

A large part of any healthcare institution’s data collection comes from monitoring patient vitals in real-time. For this purpose, monitors can be utilized that are capable of remotely connecting to nurses’ or caregivers’ stations or even their own mobile devices. It provides greatly increased versatility since a patient can now be mobile throughout the ward or even the entire hospital. 

**Remotely Operated Medical Pumps**

These kinds of pumps make up the majority of IoT devices in use. From general-use infusion pumps to insulin pumps for diabetic patients, medical pumps ensure that patients receive closely regulated quantities of fluids such as blood, medicine, and insulin.

However, the bad news is that according to a recent study, 75% of tested smart Infusion Pumps were found vulnerable to remote attacks.

Medical IoT pumps allow caregivers to monitor patients recovering from home, providing quality of life to those who otherwise would have been confined to hospitals. Typically, these devices need to conform to security standards prescribed by the NIST.

These are just some of the many devices in use by the healthcare industry today.

**How has IoT Transformed the Healthcare Industry? **

From the list above it should be clear that not only have IoT devices in healthcare improved the mobility of patients, but it has also had a significant impact on the available medical staff.

IoT devices have improved the care given by healthcare institutions too. By providing timely and accurate diagnostic information to caregivers, medical decisions can be made in time to save lives, improving the quality of care for so many people.

**Healthcare IoT an Unmistakable Target**

Looking back at the devices we covered, we should also mention that these devices are amongst the most attacked by threat actors. Gaining access to personally identifiable patient information along with a good chance of seizing financial information too, can be a massive payload to threat actors.

Ransomware attacks are one of the most common cyber security attacks aimed at Medical IoT devices. Healthcare institutions would typically need to cooperate since the lives of their patients can be endangered by these threat actors. 

In some cases, IoT devices may even be used to launch attacks on other systems. For example, the WannaCry ransomware attack on England’s NHS exploited a flaw in Windows XP that had been previously identified by the NSA. The attack impacted hospitals around the world, causing appointment cancellations and disrupting patient care.

Although the trend is changing, most healthcare institutions don’t necessarily care whether devices are HIPAA compliant, or whether they are sufficiently encrypted. Threat actors easily target these healthcare IoT devices. 

**Why is IoT Security so Crucial in the Healthcare Industry?**

An inadequate cyber security system could mean the difference between life and death for a patient if it is not in place. By neglecting the remediation of vulnerabilities in healthcare IoT devices vast volumes of personal patient information could leak during a breach. Having devastating effects on both patients and the institutions they trusted with their information and care.

**Conclusion**

The unfortunate truth is that the healthcare industry will remain a high-level target for threat actors and that healthcare institutions need to ensure that they do everything in their power to keep IoT devices safe from breaches. Making IoT security crucial to this industry.

A week in security (October 17 - 23)

SideWinder, a prolific nation-state actor mainly known for targeting Pakistan military entities, compromised the official website of the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to deliver a tailored malware called WarHawk.
"The newly discovered WarHawk backdoor contains various malicious modules that deliver Cobalt Strike, incorporating new TTPs such as KernelCallBackTable injection

SideWinder, a prolific nation-state actor mainly known for targeting Pakistan military entities, compromised the official website of the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to deliver a tailored malware called **WarHawk**.

"The newly discovered WarHawk backdoor contains various malicious modules that deliver Cobalt Strike, incorporating new TTPs such as KernelCallBackTable injection and Pakistan Standard Time zone check in order to ensure a victorious campaign," Zscaler ThreatLabz said.

The threat group, also called APT-C-17, Rattlesnake, and Razor Tiger, is suspected to be an Indian state-sponsored group, although a report from Kaspersky earlier this May acknowledged previous indicators that led to the attribution have since disappeared, making it challenging it to link the threat cluster to a specific nation.

More than 1,000 attacks are said to have been launched by the group since April 2020, an indication of SideWinder's newfound aggression since it commenced operations a decade ago in 2012.

The intrusions have been significant not only with regard to their frequency but also in their persistence, even as the group takes advantage of a massive arsenal of obfuscated and newly-developed components.

In June 2022, the threat actor was found leveraging an AntiBot script that's designed to filter their victims to check the client browser environment, specifically the IP address, to ensure the targets are located in Pakistan.

The September campaign spotted by Zscaler entails the use of a weaponized ISO file hosted on NEPRA's website to activate a killchain that leads to the deployment of the WarHawk malware, with the artifact also acting as a decoy to hide the malicious activity by displaying a legitimate advisory issued by the Cabinet Division of Pakistan on July 27, 2022.

WarHawk, for its part, masquerades as legitimate apps such as ASUS Update Setup and Realtek HD Audio Manager to lure unsuspecting victims into execution, resulting the exfiltration of system metadata to a hard-coded remote server, while also receiving additional payloads from the URL.

This includes a command execution module that's responsible for the execution of system commands on the infected machine received from the command-and-control server, a file manager module that recursively enumerates files present in different drives, and an upload module that transmits files of interest to the server.

Also deployed as a second-stage payload using the aforementioned command execution module is a Cobalt Strike Loader, which validates the host's time zone to confirm it matches the Pakistan Standard Time (PKT), failing which the process is terminated.

Following the anti-anThe loader injects shellcode into a notepad.exe process using a technique called KernelCallbackTable process injection, with the malware author lifting source code from a technical write-up published in April 2022 by a researcher who goes by the online alias Capt. Meelo.

The shellcode then decrypts and loads Beacon, the default malware payload used by Cobalt Strike to establish a connection to its command-and-control server.

Per the cybersecurity company, the attack campaign's connections to the SideWinder APT stem from the reuse of network infrastructure that has been identified as used by the group in prior espionage-focused activities against Pakistan.

"The SideWinder APT Group is continuously evolving their tactics and adding new malware to their arsenal in order to carry out successful espionage attack campaigns against their targets," the researchers concluded.

This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Should You Choose Angular, React, or Vue?

Most developers are wondering which framework should I choose. We are talking about the three most popular, namely Angular, React, and Vue. We will try to understand this by making a small comparison.

**Angular**

Google is responsible for developing and maintaining Angular along with an international development team.

**React**

In this case, the international group that develops and maintains React is Facebook (Meta).

**Vue**

In the case of Vue, things are somewhat different, since it does not have an international company for development and maintenance, but a team of employees around the world, chief among which is Evan Yu as its creator.

**Framework Philosophy**

Now consider the different philosophies for each framework.

**Angular**

The core philosophy of Angular is to give everything a developer needs, as Angular is a framework with many features already built in, such as form validation, HTTP request submission, routing, state handling, and more.

Because of this, many refer to Angular as a platform rather than a framework due to the large number of features built into it. And not only because of the features or capabilities that can be used at the development level but also because of its ecosystem in which its core (which is managed by Google’s development and maintenance team) has additional tools such as command line, interfaces for managing and creating projects, easily add support for progressive web pages (PWA), etc.

In the functions section of the official website, you can explore the built-in functions in more detail, as well as get the documentation guidelines, which have an extensive catalog of Angular functions.

All this shows us that it’s very unlikely to run into a problem when Angular itself doesn’t have a built-in function to solve it.

**React**

Unlike Angular, React is the opposite, it focuses on being as minimalist as possible with an emphasis on UI design, so it’s considered more of a library than a framework itself. React calls itself a library. While it also has detailed documentation on how to use its functions, React has far fewer built-in functions than Angular.

So when developing a project, you end up using a lot of 3rd party packages or other resources, be it for routing, handling state, sending HTTP requests, etc.

This can lead to different points of view. Many people think about how minimalistic React is, while others think that the framework already has everything at hand to start working. Regardless, the React community is large, so if you run into problems, there’s likely to be a package or other resources available to help solve them.

**Vue**

We can say that Vue is in between Angular and React as it is a framework that offers some built-in features, but not as many as Angular. It mainly focuses on built-in features that are essential for writing code, such as routing and state handling, which are supported by the Vue team, but other features, such as form validation, are not built-in and depend on a third-party package. So it will be more than React but less than Angular in regards to inline functions.

Vue focuses on code, and despite having a good command line interface, it doesn’t have as many tools as Angular, although it’s slightly better than React.

To sum up, Angular has a lot of built-in features, React is minimalistic in this respect, and Vue is somewhere in between. But all these frameworks and libraries are focused on building user interfaces from reusable components and that doesn’t change whether you work with one or the other as they focus on making application development more powerful and easier for developers, so they adopt the concept of building user interfaces from components.

Aptos is a new entrant to the blockchain space, which launched its mainnet on October 17, 2022. It has its roots in the Diem stablecoin payment system proposed by Meta (née Facebook), which also introduced a short-lived digital wallet called Novi.

The network is built using a platform-agnostic programming language known as Move, a Rust-based system that's designed to implement and execute smart contracts in a secure runtime environment, also known as the Move Virtual Machine (aka MoveVM).

The vulnerability identified by Numen Cyber Labs is rooted in the Move language's verification module ("stack\_usage\_verifier.rs"), a component that validates the bytecode instructions prior to its execution in MoveVM.

Specifically, it relates to an integer overflow vulnerability in the stack-based Web3 programming language that could result in undefined behavior and therefore crashes.

"Since this vulnerability occurs in the Move execution module, for nodes on the chain, if the bytecode code is executed, it will cause a \[Denial-of-Service\] attack," the cybersecurity firm explained.

"In severe cases, the Aptos network can be completely stopped, which will cause incalculable damage, and have a serious impact on the stability of the node."
