Comply with Embedded Linux Standardization

Torvolds required a few simple steps by developers to comply with his mandates. First, he required embedded Linux OS and Kernel source code to be migrated into the main Linux OS and Kernel source trees. This would force embedded Linux developers to use existing source code and make modifications for embedded Linux that would be handled at compile time.

In short, the same source code used for servers and desktop would now be the foundation for the embedded Linux devices as well. This standardized how embedded Linux systems were built and complied with open source standards. Now, when a Linux system build was customized, the source code would be migrated into the standard Linux source tree, making it available to all future embedded Linux systems built, which is exactly what open source compliance is all about: sharing innovations with everyone.

Second, he forced embedded Linux developers to use a version of the device tree compiler that would utilize a master database of hardware components and that could be expanded easily when new components with new features were released. This standardized the hardware interface and abstraction layers.

On a national basis, most states, unfortunately not all states, have been able to modernize their Eligibility Determination systems to the extent that now they have integrated technology to determine eligibility across most major HHS programs, including Medicaid (both MAGI and non-MAGI Medicaid), SNAP, TANF, Child Care, LIHEAP, etc. However, even the states who have successfully solved for integrated eligibility determination from a technology perspective will agree that much work remains in several key areas: 1) Data sharing across HHS programs continues to be an issue that must be resolved for agencies to truly care for their constituents in a holistic way; 2) Application of new and innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and robotic process automation should be considered for driving improved customer support and increased caseworker capacity; and 3) Improving workforce skills training, whether that be cross-training workers or improving client engagement skills, will help agencies adapt to the changing needs of the populations they serve.”

DDoS Attack Mean for My Security?

You need to prepare and plan to manage a DDoS attack against your systems. You need to monitor, generate alerts, and quickly diagnose a DDoS attack in progress. The next step is shutting down the attack quickly without affecting your users. You can block the IP addresses using your Next-Gen Firewall, or close inbound traffic to the targeted system and failover to a backup. There are other response plans you can implement, make sure to have one. Some CDNs, like Cloudflare, also act as a reverse proxy which can further protect your WordPress site from DDoS attacks. An HTTP Flood attack, for example, is an application layer attack that targets a web server on the target and uses many fast HTTP requests to bring the server down. Think of it as pressing the refresh button in rapid-fire mode on your game controller. That kind of traffic from many thousands of computers at once will quickly drown the webserver. Who should consider using a CDN: Most websites can benefit from integrating a CDN

Profiling Hackers in the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator

Using the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator or similar tools, organizations can categorize attacks by specific threat groups and threat actors. It is even possible to profile the technologies and the procedures attackers use. In short, you will have a strong idea of the next move your opponents are going to make. Notice that each of the technologies is categorized into a version of the hacker lifecycle. The top of the page reads Initial access, Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation and so forth. These are the general steps that attackers take as they compromise a network. The MITRE ATT&CK Navigator then allows you to profile specific attack groups. Each group profiles an actual group of cyberattackers. Using this model, you can quickly identify how each group operates. Going back to my baseball analogy, imagine if you knew that a group of pitchers behaved a certain way. Now, you can profile that behavior and train your batters to best address how those pitchers are trying to defea

The Importance of Post-Attack Analysis

Comprehensive visibility into an organization’s network activity is essential not only to quickly combat DDoS threats, but also to enable compliance reporting and archive security event data that enables security audits and forensic analysis of past threats. Organizations can learn from past attacks to uncover hidden patterns of data and identify emerging vulnerabilities within the massive streams of security event data Without this level of visibility, it is impossible to determine how effectively an attack was mitigated and whether there were any false-positives which led to collateral damage that substantiates any service level agreement (SLA) claims. For over a decade, Corero has been providing state-of-the-art, highly-effective, automatic DDoS protection solutions for enterprise, hosting and service provider customers around the world. Our SmartWall®  DDoS mitigation solutions  protect on-premise, cloud, virtual and hybrid environments.   Moreover, cloud-based DDoS defenses a
