Testing and Debugging Distributed Applications
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.

The challenge with distributed applications is that most of the tools and packages that we can use for single-process applications lose much of their power when dealing with multiple processes, especially when these processes run on different computers. Debugging and profiling distributed applications written in C, C++, and Fortran can be done with tools such as Intel VTune, Allinea MAP, and DDT. Unfortunately, Python developers are left with very few or no options for the time being.

Point of Sale and ATMs: Your Data at Risk
One of the most important lessons I try to teach any newcomer to Cyber Security is that compliance does not mean security. In fact, compliance often creates a false sense of security.
Major retailers recently hit by point of sale malware were PCI compliant. This means their systems met payment card industry standards for security. And yet, their point of sale systems were still compromised by malware, putting customers' personal information at risk. I previously covered this problems with PCI compliance.
Unfortunately, even though most consumers have now been issued EMV chip credit cards, many businesses still aren't ready to accept them, and those that do are only requiring signatures, not PINs.
Oh, and did I mention that 95% of the world's ATMs are still running Windows XP?
These are just a few examples of problems consumers face when trying to protect themselves from identity theft or credit card fraud.
If you haven't signed up for identity theft protection, now would be a good time.

SANS: Using Analytics to Predict Future Attacks and Breaches

The pace and sophistication of data breaches is growing all the time. Anyone with valuable secrets can be a target – and likely already is. In the past, cybersecurity tools and processes have focused more on prevention than on quick detection and rapid response. But organizations often don't find indicators of compromise soon enough, nor are they responding to these incidents and removing them quickly enough. They also need the capability to predict future trends based on past and current behavior, and that's where security analytics may prove most useful. Request Free! |
