Kazakhstan calls for global cyber security treaty to deter hackers at United Nations Today's security professionals - whether they are black hats, white hats or something in between - all have one thing in common: The knowledge of their craft probably did not come from a book or a classroom. Today's security skills - both good and bad - we learn online, in the unstructured jungle of the Internet. President Nursultan Nazarbayev told the debate's opening session – held at United Nations Headquarters in New York – that it was worrying that "not a single international convention or multilateral treaty governs information processes. " Is it not the reason why, in practical terms, most hacker attacks on banks, businesses, government institutions, [the] military and even nuclear facilities have been carried out with impunity? " he asked. Mr. Nazarbayev stressed the need for what he called " an international legal framework of the global information space ." He said such a le

Identities now transcend human boundaries. Within each line of code and every API call lies a non-human identity. These entities act as programmatic access keys, enabling authentication and facilitating interactions among systems and services, which are essential for every API call, database query, or storage account access. As we depend on multi-factor authentication and passwords to safeguard human identities, a pressing question arises: How do we guarantee the security and integrity of these non-human counterparts? How do we authenticate, authorize, and regulate access for entities devoid of life but crucial for the functioning of critical systems? Let's break it down. The challenge Imagine a cloud-native application as a bustling metropolis of tiny neighborhoods known as microservices, all neatly packed into containers. These microservices function akin to diligent worker bees, each diligently performing its designated task, be it processing data, verifying credentials, or

More Android vulnerabilities exposed [Video Demonstration] It's been more than a month since researchers reported two serious security vulnerabilities in Android, but so far there's no indication when they will be purged from the Google-spawned operating system that's the world's most popular smartphone platform. Oberheide and Lanier are set to teach a two-day mobile security training course at SOURCE Barcelona this November where they will presumably refer to this and other Android vulnerabilities. Let's hope, for the sake of Android's reputation, that these things are resolved much sooner. The first vulnerability is known as a " Permission escalation vulnerability ", and allows attackers to install additional " arbitrary applications with arbitrary permissions ", without first asking the user if they want to permit such actions. This would allow attackers to access call records, texts, web browsing history and media stored on the device. The second bug

Vulnerability in its Identity Services Engine of Cisco Cisco is warning users of a critical vulnerability ( CVE-2011-3290 ) in its Identity Services Engine (ISE). In its security advisory, the company says that the underlying database used by ISE, its identity and access control policy platform, contains three sets of default credentials that could be exploited by a remote attacker without any end-user interaction. Using these credentials, an attacker could modify the configuration and settings, or even gain complete administrative control of a device. All hardware appliance and software-only versions of Cisco ISE prior to 1.0.4.MR2 are affected.The company says that it will release a free update to the software to address the vulnerability on 30 September 2011; no temporary workaround is available. Once released, the updates will be available to download from the Cisco Software Center. [ Source ]
