"Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown are back chasing mystery with their unique circle of Southern sleuths. And though the changing colors of fall are a beauty to behold, this year the scattered leaves hide a grim surprise. Autumn is in the air in the Blue Ridge Mountain community of Crozet, Virginia--and all the traditions of the changing seasons are under way. Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen cleans her cupboards, her husband, Fair, prepares the horses for the shorter days ahead, and the clamorous barking of beagles signals the annual rabbit chase through the central Virginia hills. But the last thing the local beaglers and their hounds expect to flush out is a dead body. Disturbingly, it's the second corpse to turn up, after that of a missing truck driver too disfigured to identify. The deaths seem unrelated--until Harry picks up a trail of clues dating back to the state's post-Revolutionary past. The echoes of the Shot Heard Round the World pale in comparison to the dangerous shootout Harry narrowly escapes unscathed. Next time, it may be the killer who gets lucky. But not if Harry's furry friends Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker can help it. Lending their sharp-nosed talents to the hunt, they'll help their mistress keep more lives from being lost--and right an injustice buried since the early days of America's independence. "As feline collaborators go, you couldn't ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown."--The New York Times Book Review"-- Provided by publisher.

Ethiopia possesses abundant water resources and hydropower potential, yet less than 5 percent of irrigable land in the Blue Nile basin has been developed for food production, and more than 80 percent of Ethiopians lack access to electricity. Consequently, the Ethiopian government is pursuing plans to develop hydropower and irrigation along the Blue Nile River in an effort to tap into this underused potential.

In this episode of the IoT Insider podcast, Bernard Montel provides a brief history of the evolution of the Cloud and the challenges of securing it.

Tenable®, Inc. the exposure management company, today announced that Bank of Yokohama, one of the largest of the major regional banks in Japan, has chosen Tenable Identity Exposure to protect its Active Directory and enhance the bank’s ability to protect its internal systems from cyber threats.

Bank of Yokohama, based in Kanagawa Prefecture and Tokyo Metropolitan, is committed to enhancing industry security standards. In 2023, it collaborated with 19 other regional banks to establish CMS-CSIRT, an organization providing mutual cybersecurity support. Unlike megabanks, regional banks often face resource and budget constraints, making such collaborative efforts crucial for implementing effective security programs.

As part of its objectives for FY 2023, the Bank of Yokohama wanted to improve Active Directory (AD) security as it’s the most crucial system in the bank’s intranet. Previously, the bank only applied security patches periodically without any tool or system to detect Active Directory misconfigurations or attacks. Given the evolving threat landscape and rise of attacks involving an identity breach, enhancing the security of Active Directory became a top priority.

“Attackers who have infiltrated an organization's internal system or who wield ransomware and other malware, almost always make a beeline for Active Directory,” said Mr. Akihiro Fushimi, Leader, Concordia Financial Group ICT Governance Department, Security Governance Section and Bank of Yokohama ICT Planning & Promotion Department, Security Governance Section. “They steal user account privileges and elevate them via Active Directory, to enable them to access important data. So, securing Active Directory was an area that we wanted to invest in.”

Bank of Yokohama already used Tenable Security Center for vulnerability management and trusted Tenable's reliability. Selecting Tenable Identity Exposure was an easy decision, with its fast, agentless feature ensuring a seamless deployment process.

The deployment of Tenable Identity Exposure provided the Bank of Yokohama with an in-depth view of its Active Directory. The bank can now accurately identify every AD account, including dormant accounts and machine identities, and understand the potential risks of exploitation by malicious actors due to the multi-functional capabilities of Active Directory. Tenable Identity Exposure detects many of the techniques used in cyber attacks to gain elevated privileges and enable lateral movement, including DCShadow, Brute Force, Password Spraying, Golden Ticket and more.

“Previously, we were under the impression that all we needed to do was to apply patches and manage accounts. Now, with the deployment of Tenable Identity Exposure, we are physically able to see the risk of exploitation. This, I believe, is the positive impact of deploying Tenable Identity Exposure. Its alert functions are comprehensive—it detects vulnerabilities as well as misconfigurations,” said Mr. Shinnosuke Shimada, Bank of Yokohama ICT Planning & Promotion Department, Security, Governance Section.

“Many organizations struggle to maintain proper Active Directory security as their domains grow more complex, often leaving flaws undetected until a major incident occurs. Given the high-profile attacks involving AD in recent years, it's crucial to prioritize AD security within the overall cybersecurity strategy,” said Naoya Kishima, Country Manager, Tenable Japan. “Bank of Yokohama recognizes this need, and we're pleased to support them in their security journey.”

The Civil War was the first "modern war." Because of the rapid changes in American society, Abraham Lincoln became president of a divided United States during a period of technological and social revolution. Among the many modern marvels that gave the North an advantage was the telegraph, which Lincoln used to stay connected to the forces in the field in almost real time. No leader in history had ever possessed such a powerful tool to gain control over a fractious situation. An eager student of technology, Lincoln had to learn to use the power of electronic messages. Without precedent to guide him, Lincoln began by reading the telegraph traffic among his generals. Then he used the telegraph to supplement his preferred form of communication-meetings and letters. He did not replace those face-to-face interactions. Through this experience, Lincoln crafted the best way to guide, reprimand, praise, reward, and encourage his commanders in the field. By paying close attention to Lincoln's "lightning messages," we see a great leader adapt to a new medium. No listener of this work of history will be able to miss the contemporary parallels. Watching Lincoln carefully word his messages-and follow up on those words with the right actions-offers a striking example for those who spend their days tapping out notes on computers and BlackBerrys.

Sir Edward Grey (1862-1933) was Britain's longest-serving Foreign Secretary, holding office from December 1905 to December 1916. Best known today for his observation on the eve of World War I, "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we won't see them lit again in our lifetime," Grey had worked tirelessly to keep the lamps on, while keeping Britain and the Empire secure. During his eventful and stressful years in office, and before and after, Grey corresponded extensively with Katharine Lyttelton (1860-1943), the wife of a high-ranking general who served as the first Chief of the General Staff. Though they were probably not lovers-readers can decide for themselves-the relationship was an intimate one, and Grey was able confide in her thoughts and feelings he concealed from Cabinet colleagues and his male friends. The letters, selected and edited by Jeff Lipkes, reveal a side to Grey that has not been fully appreciated. He was amusing, shrewd, and humane, and a close observer of individuals as well as of nature. His observations still speak to us. They will resonate with everyone who loves the outdoors and solitude. Those coping with an overpowering grief, with a strong distaste for their work, or with approaching blindness may find them especially poignant. But others not so afflicted may discover they have become kinder, more courageous, and more observant for having read Grey's letters. Dear Kathanine Courageous includes an eighty-page introduction by Lipkes on Grey, Lytellton, and their circle, and an Afterword on the Foreign Secretary's private life.

The CL0P Ransomware Group, also known as TA505, has exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across a series of file transfer solutions since December 2020. File transfer solutions often contain sensitive information from a variety of organizations. This stolen information is used to extort victims to pay ransom demands. In 2023, CL0P claimed credit for the exploitation of vulnerabilities in both Fortra’s GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) and Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer solutions.

One of the common questions often asked of the IT team is “how many systems are missing patches and how many patches are missing on each system?”  This dashboard uses the “Patch Report” plugin and organizes the current patch status for systems scanned with credentials.  The IT team can now easily communicate the specific systems with missing patches to executives.

The Nessus "Patch Report" plugin (66334) elegantly summarizes all of the missing patches and general remediation actions required to remediate the discovered vulnerabilities on a given host. Instead of counting the number of vulnerabilities, the plugin lists applications that need to be upgraded. The approach is not only much easier for IT administrators to consume, but the count of applications provides a measure of how much "work" is required to secure a system.

The dashboard provides risk guidance using the “Remediation Summary” tool.  This tool works by employing a concept called “top patch”.  Tenable Security Center uses proprietary technology to identify a chain of patches.  The first patch in the chain is called the “top patch”.  If the “top patch” is applied, all subsequent vulnerabilities will also be remediated at the same time.  Using both the Remediation Summary tool and “Patch Report” plugin, the organization can better plan remediation efforts.   

The dashboard and its components are available in the Tenable Security Center Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets.  The dashboard can be easily located in the Tenable Security Center Feed under the category Executive. The dashboard requirements are:

• Tenable Security Center
• Nessus
• This dashboard requires “Full Text Search” to be enabled for each analyzed repository.

Please note the "Full Text Search" option must be enabled for the repository to support the trending component.

Tenable Security Center has the ability to identify all discoverable vulnerabilities, eliminating blind spots. Tenable detects missing patches, incorrect configurations, lapsed defenses, incomplete monitoring and network intruders—so you can mitigate them.  Tenable Security Center can show risk across all systems, enabling informed decisions.  Tenable’s approach to continuous monitoring reaches across cloud, virtual, mobile and traditional systems and measures attack vectors in each of these domains.  Tenable Security Center provides a unique combination of detection, reporting, and pattern recognition utilizing industry recognized algorithms and models.  By providing that single point of data collection, Tenable.sc enables sharing of vulnerability scanning results across the technical groups and business owners.

Components

Remediations Tracking - Top 25 Remediations: This component provides the top 25 remediation actions that can be taken to reduce overall risk.  The table is sorted using vulnerability weight scores, which are calculated differently for each organization.  To determine score weights, login with the admin account, edit your organization and then select “Analysis”.  In the upper right hand corner, there are four scores, one for each severity level. The default scores are: critical = 40, high = 10, medium = 3 and low = 1. The vulnerability weight helps to determine a fully calculated score used in risk analysis.

The Outstanding Remediations - Time Since Patch Publication (Assets) matrix displays the total count of missing patches across the environment. The matrix is comprised of five columns. The first column provides a count of the vulnerabilities that are exploitable, and the last four columns provide counts of vulnerabilities based on Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) levels. VPR scores are displayed as column headers in traditional severity text.  Critical represents VPR 9-10, High represents VPR 7-8.9, Medium represents VPR 4-6.9, and Low represents VPR 0.1-3.9. Each row filters the vulnerabilities based on the patch publication date of less than 30 days ago, Current Quarter, Last Quarter, Current Year, Last Year, and greater than 365 Days.

The End of Life Software Detection table displays a list of software that is no longer supported by the vendor. The table is sorted by the count column, which lists a count of the total number of assets affected by the unsupported software package. The filter used is for Plugin Name equals Unsupported. Tenable recommends that assets found here be upgraded to a higher supported version as soon as possible, since vendors no longer list active vulnerabilities for end-of-life software.

The Outstanding Remediations by Device Type (Vulnerabilities) matrix displays the total count of missing patches by device type. The matrix is comprised of five columns. The first column provides a count of the vulnerabilities that are exploitable, and the last four columns provide counts of vulnerabilities based on Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) levels. VPR scores are displayed as column headers in traditional severity text.  Critical represents VPR 9-10, High represents VPR 7-8.9, Medium represents VPR 4-6.9, and Low represents VPR 0.1-3.9.  There is a row present which groups devices by type, such as Linux, Windows, or macOS devices. Counts present in each cell represents the number of vulnerabilities present for the device group and VPR score.
