We are disclosing four previously undisclosed vulnerabilities within the Arcserve Unified Data Protection platform. The vulnerabilities can open the door for potential compromise of sensitive data through access to credentials, phishing attacks and the ability for a hacker to read files without authentication from the hosting system.________________________________________TitleDDI-VRT-2018-18 -...

Upgrade Your Network ScannerFree scanners are great – up to a point. That point is when your network reaches a critical size, your assets have acquired a critical value or your company, industry (or Uncle Sam) has set new compliance requirements that those freebee tools just can’t handle.Running multiple network scanning tools is a painEveryone has a half dozen network scanners sitting around and...

Port scanning tools – just the first step to network securityYour port scanning tools are nice, but...When your network reaches a critical size, your assets have acquired a critical value or when new compliance standards hit, your port scanning tools may have reached their limit. It’s the job of vulnerability assessment and management tools to combine port scanning with the investigation of...

Following on from our first post of the series, What is AIP?, this week we look at how AIP is better when paired with Fortra's Data Classifier, and the business value you will get from this partnership. In the world of enterprise data protection and data classification, the requirement for flexible solutions combining best-of-breed functionality with sophisticated policy support is viewed as...

The three crumbling pillars of network securityWhy is network security getting harder?Access control, firewall and Intrusion Prevention Systems are failing to keep attackers from reaching vulnerable systems and network administrators have added as many layers beyond those as possible to no avail. This is a problem because successful attacks are often done with these solutions in place and being...

Network security scanningYour network is 100 times more likely to be attacked with a known exploit than an unknown one. And the reason behind this is simple: There are so many known exploits and the complexity of networks is so great that the chances are good that one of these known vulnerabilities are present and will allow an attacker access to your data.The number of networks worldwide is so...

Our definition of penetration testingPen testing (penetration testing) is the discovery of vulnerable network equipment or applications by evaluating their response (behavior) to specially designed requests. In some cases a payload (message, marker or flag) is delivered to prove beyond a doubt that the vulnerability can be exploited. Pen testing is usually a manual and expensive undertaking that...
