Data protection advancements expected to shape 2025 security

Andrew Eva, the Global CIO of Assured Data Protection, predicts that by 2025, there will be a seamless integration of backup systems with ransomware detection, antivirus technologies, and intrusion detection systems. He highlights a collaboration between Rubrik and Google to provide enterprise customers with insights into known exploits for better early detection of malicious codes. Disaster recovery systems will take on a more frontline role in cyber threat management, utilizing machine learning to identify potential viruses. Ransomware is expected to remain the top cyber threat, prompting organizations to prioritize disaster recovery and backup solutions. Concerns about data security in relation to artificial intelligence will lead organizations to seek assurances regarding data protection from managed service providers (MSPs). The criteria for cyber insurance are tightening, making MSPs essential for businesses to meet these requirements. There is also an anticipated surge in demand for Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS), especially in healthcare, driven by resource constraints and a shift towards operational expenditures.

PostgreSQL vs. the Cloud for GenAI? 4 Things To Consider

Generative AI (GenAI) is expected to transform industries by improving productivity and revenue. A Deloitte report states that 80% of enterprises with advanced AI capabilities plan to increase AI investments. Companies must modernize legacy systems and tackle data challenges to implement GenAI, but many still use outdated technology, leading to costly transitions and downtime. Nearly half of US generative AI decision-makers expect returns on their investments within three years, which may underestimate the complexities of AI implementation. While cloud computing offers scalability, managing costs can be difficult, prompting many enterprises to adopt financial operations frameworks (FinOps). Concerns about third-party cloud services are leading businesses to consider on-premises and hybrid solutions, with predictions that by 2025, half of enterprises will use on-premises models for AI development. Choosing the right database is crucial for GenAI development, with PostgreSQL being a strong option due to its extensibility, seamless integration, open-source benefits, and deployment flexibility. Successful GenAI strategies focus on rapid development, cost-effective failures, and effective scaling, with Percona offering support to help organizations achieve these goals.

TotalAV Antivirus Pro

TotalAV Antivirus Pro is designed to examine computers for malware and protect against future threats, offering additional features like backup, system tune-up, and ad-blocking. It is priced at .00 per year for protection across five PCs, which is higher than competitors like Norton (.99), Malwarebytes Premium Security (.99), and ESET (.99). TotalAV does not offer various pricing tiers; additional licenses require purchasing a more advanced application. The TotalAV Internet Security package costs .00 per year for six licenses with VPN protection, while the Total Security version costs .00 per year for eight licenses with a password manager. Installation can begin with a free trial or by registering online, and the process is lengthy. The interface features a dark mode option and a streamlined menu. TotalAV scored 17.5 points in independent lab testing by AV-Test Institute, earning it the Top Product designation, and received Advanced certification from AV-Comparatives. In practical tests, it neutralized 72% of malware samples immediately and achieved an overall detection rate of 88%. TotalAV's WebShield detected 96% of phishing sites, outperforming built-in browser protections. Users can choose from quick, full, or custom scans, with the initial full scan taking 53 minutes. Scheduled scans occur weekly, but quick or custom scans cannot be scheduled. Most privacy features require an upgrade, while the free edition includes Total Adblock. TotalAV features a Clean-up Scan for junk files and an Application Uninstaller for removing multiple applications simultaneously. The Total Security page offers features and add-ons, including a basic online backup solution with 2GB of storage.

Adobe warns of critical ColdFusion bug with PoC exploit code

Adobe released out-of-band security updates to address a critical vulnerability in ColdFusion, identified as CVE-2024-53961, which is a path traversal weakness affecting ColdFusion versions 2023 and 2021. This flaw could allow attackers to read arbitrary files on compromised servers. Adobe categorized the flaw with a "Priority 1" severity rating and urged administrators to apply the emergency security patches—ColdFusion 2021 Update 18 and ColdFusion 2023 Update 12—within 72 hours. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has highlighted the risks associated with path traversal vulnerabilities and previously mandated federal agencies to secure their Adobe ColdFusion servers against other critical vulnerabilities by August 10, 2023. CISA also noted that hackers had been exploiting another ColdFusion vulnerability targeting outdated government servers since June 2023.

‘Fix It’ social-engineering scheme impersonates several brands

Malicious actors are increasingly exploiting web browsers to deliver malware, often bypassing conventional antivirus defenses through sophisticated social engineering. A notable tactic involves copying harmful commands into the clipboard, allowing victims to execute them unknowingly. Recent investigations revealed a campaign using malicious advertisements and counterfeit pages that mimic reputable software brands, leading victims to a fake Cloudflare notification that prompts them to execute specific key combinations. This process triggers PowerShell code that retrieves and installs malware. The investigation began with a suspicious advertisement for a 'notepad' application, which redirected users to a Cloudflare-like page asking them to verify they are human. Instead of a standard CAPTCHA, users encountered a prompt instructing them to follow steps that would inadvertently execute a malicious command. By clicking a 'Fix It' button, the harmful command is copied to the clipboard, and users are led to paste and run it, initiating a download from a remote domain. The campaign targeted several brands, including Microsoft Teams, FileZilla, UltraViewer, CutePDF, and Advanced IP Scanner. The same domain linked to the malicious PowerShell command for Notepad++ also appeared in another campaign. Indicators of compromise include various malicious domains and URLs associated with the malware and its command and control server. Malwarebytes provides protection against these threats.

Microsoft Windows IoT for Client Systems: A Historical Journey and Today’s Latest Innovations

Microsoft's Windows Embedded and Windows IoT products began in 1999 with Windows NT Embedded, codenamed Impala. Windows XP Embedded, known as Mantis, expanded toolkit capabilities with tools like Target Designer and Component Designer. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 catered to the point-of-sale sector, maintaining a consistent kernel across consumer and embedded versions. Windows CE supported mobile devices with various architectures and reached its end of support in 2023. Windows Embedded 7 Standard and Windows 7 for Embedded Systems required special licensing agreements. Windows Embedded Standard 8 did not succeed in the industrial market, while Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, launched in 2015, introduced LTSB/LTSC options with a decade of security updates. A tiered licensing structure was introduced for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, accommodating different CPU performances. The Base license allowed Windows 10 IoT Enterprise on industrial Arm devices, specifically the NXP i.MX8 family. Windows 11 21H2 established the General Availability Channel for IoT, with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC set to debut in May 2024. Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC supports Arm Qualcomm CPUs and introduces features like USB 4.0 and Wi-Fi 6/7 support, along with a commitment to 10 years of security updates. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC will remain supported until 2031.
