Embedded Linux is a lightweight version of the open-source operating system, but it's often poorly secured. To improve the cybersecurity of your IoT devices, routers, home automation and network, you should follow some basic best practices. These cybersecurity standards will reduce risk and improve the security of your data. | Read More →

The Mirai botnet and malware were able to bring down the internet using gigabytes of data sent to targeted businesses including Dyn, a provider of DNS. Botnets cause spikes in internet traffic that crash servers and critical web services, and Mirai is one of the most effective at it. Mirai infects IoT devices running embedded Linux, which powers much of the world's routers, cameras, mobile devices, smart home automation, and many other components. To add cybersecurity to your IoT devices, you must change the default password as soon as you install and use them in your home or business. | Read More →

With the right application monitoring, you can retain customers and improve the user experience so that customers do not leave your site for a competitor. | Read More →

Frontend developers for web applications use the Math.random() function in JavaScript to create random numbers. Although most developers think the generated number is random, it's actually not at all. The numbers generated by Math.random() are predictable, and because they are not truly random could make your application vulnerable to hackers. To maintain cybersecurity of a web application, developers should only use algorithms with enough entropy. | Read More →

Log management is the process of organizing and aggregating events for infrastructure and applications across the network. By managing logs properly, organizations can use analytical software such as security information and event management (SIEM) software to accurately monitor the network. SIEMs are enterprise applications critical to the cybersecurity and reliability of a network including the cloud. Log management is the first step in building an efficient way to monitor on-premise and cloud infrastructure. | Read More →

When building a web application, keeping cybersecurity in mind to avoid the latest exploits and vulnerabilities is difficult for developers. Web development requires an understanding of the way hackers compromise code. Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a very common exploit that can be found in many applications when developers leave their code vulnerable to non-sanitized user input. | Read More →
