Everything Patch Review has reported about network security: 5 stories, newest first. Part of our Tech News coverage.
Most network monitoring systems fail because they collect traffic data without establishing a baseline of normal behavior, leaving operators blind to subtle anomalies.
Every open network port acts as a potential entry point for attackers, meaning that closing unused ports significantly reduces the attack surface without requiring complex tools.
Moving compute to the network edge increases your attack surface because you lose centralized control over physical hardware access.
Ransomware attacks rarely begin with malware; they usually start with a stolen credential or a misconfigured service that allows silent lateral movement before encryption begins.
Effective defense requires shifting traffic filtering upstream and validating every request before it consumes internal server resources.
