Daily News About IBM Security

Chris Caridi, strategic cyber threat analyst for IBM Security X-Force, said the report makes it clear the cybercriminals continue to rely on well-known tactics and techniques such as phishing attacks, employing info-stealers, scanning for well-known vulnerabilities and targeting Active Directory to compromise cloud computing environments. In terms of actual incident response engagements, however, IBM researchers noted that cloud-hosted instances of Microsoft Active Directory servers accounted for 39% of attacks during the last two years.

DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper processing of UNC paths by the Permission Model. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to execute script in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked.

To help eliminate operational complexity for backup administrators, the CIO organization sought a solution to consolidate multiple siloed practices and streamline enterprise backup management. The intention was for the application owners across the enterprise to use a centralized cloud-based solution to manage backups according to IBM’s standards and to protect the on-premises infrastructure.
