Pulse Secure has patched CVE-2021-22937, a patch bypass for CVE-2020-8260, in its Connect Secure products.

In March 2021, cybersecurity researchers disclosed two high-severity vulnerabilities that were discovered in the popular cryptography library, OpenSSL. While one of the flaws can allow attackers to bypass CA1 certificate checks, the other could result in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. OpenSSL is a well-known open-source cryptography library that enables the implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, used to secure communication over computer networks.

Microsoft addresses 44 CVEs in its August Patch Tuesday release, including two vulnerabilities publicly disclosed, and one zero-day exploited in the wild.

A typical SAP deployment is usually a sprawling, complex system and is one of the most critical applications an enterprise relies on to keep the business functioning, with it interacting with production, sales, dispatch, HR, and other areas of the business.

The proliferation of cloud technology, sophisticated cyber threats, shortage of specialized talent, shrinking IT budgets, and the need for complex IT operations to drive business growth are causing businesses large and small to outsource1 a wide range of their projects. Small businesses are partnering with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that offer more sophisticated services than standard help desk support, while large enterprises require MSP partners with specialized expertise that can help augment their in-house operations. MarketsandMarkets, a market research firm estimates the global managed services market is expected to grow from $US 223.0 billion in 2020 to $US 329.1 billion by 2025. While this is welcome news for MSPs, evolving business needs are changing what and how they must market and sell to stay relevant.

In a year of headline-making vulnerabilities and incidents, Zerologon (CVE-2020-1472) stands out due to its widespread adoption by threat actors and its checkered disclosure timeline.

As COVID-19 has opened the door for perpetrators to leverage the fears of people to serve their malicious ambitions, the rising security demands of organizations has driven many MSPs (Managed Service Providers) to seriously consider becoming MSSPs (Managed Security Service Providers). In addition, with profit margins declining from commoditized offerings, the need to provide higher-margin and value services is also a deciding factor in transitioning from MSP to MSSP.

According to ‘IDC’s Service Provider Pulse: 2Q20’, 16% of a service providers’ total revenue came from managed services, and from that, managed security services accounted for the highest percentage of revenue at 10%. With managed networks, app optimization and performance management growing year over year, it’s becoming more transparent for MSPs that developing broader areas such as security can aid their customers with their business.

IoT is no longer a novelty, and still, it surprises us each day with new, innovative solutions to everyday tasks. When was the last time you checked the TV for the weather, or had to download your photos to a computer so you could share them with friends or relatives? Unless you're a meteorologist or professional photographer, chances are it's been a long time since you did either of those things. Today, our devices do almost everything for us. From scheduling our appointments to letting us know when our heart rate is above or below safe levels, to everything in between.
