Week 1- New Resource I found

 Something interesting I found was this cybersecurity news website that is like traditional news but shares information about threats and problems being faced in the Cyber Security field.

 

It covers things like:

    • Data breaches
    • Cybersecurity attacks all around the world
    • Malware threats and updates 
    •  Tools and helpful cheat sheets

 

 I found this website to be very useful as it gives us insight on what is happening in real-time and I like how it also gives us awareness on the situations going on all around the world.

Week 4: Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management

Image
      Something I believe we will all will run into at some point Digital supply Chain. What is Digital supply chain? Digital supply chain protects the entire digital ecosystem involved in the movement of goods and information like raw materials leading to finished products. The aspect of supply chain security for digital systems are increasingly used to manage various aspects of the supply chain like order processing, payments and shipping. Cyber supply chain risk management is to identify what cyber risk exist within a chain and manage risks that occur since organizations no longer have control or visibility into the digital supply systems they are connected to. There are three main types of attack, Network, Software, and Hardware supply chain attacks. I won't go over all types of attack but I will talk about one that is the most common and that is Software supply chain attacks. Usually what happens is a vendor's network can be invaded by an attacker who can compromise ...

Week 3- Attackers Impersonate as Managed Devices

 A report was created that a high-severity vulnerability has been found in Cisco's Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller which allows unauthenticated attackers to impersonate managed network devices through SSH connections that are compromised. Security researchers from REQON B.V. identified the flaw, which comes from insufficient SSH host key validation mechanisms within the NDFC infrastructure. The affected system fails to properly validate SSH host keys during connection, that allows malicious actors to conduct machine-in-the-middle attacks giving themselves the chance to position themselves between the NDFC controller and managed devices, potentially intercepting and manipulating network management traffic. Attackers that successfully exploit this vulnerability could create persistent backdoors within the managed network environment. Cisco has released software updates to address this vulnerability, with no available workarounds for affected systems. The fix implements enhances the...
