General Availability of Cloud Monitoring Console’s Maintenance Dashboard

Navigating the Maintenance Dashboard

When you access the Maintenance Dashboard within the CMC app, your attention is immediately drawn to the informative card displaying details about the "next maintenance window" scheduled for your deployment within the next 30 days. This card appears only if you have a Splunk-initiated maintenance planned within a month. It provides valuable information such as the Maintenance Type, Maintenance ID, scheduled start time, and a status progress timeline, offering daily updates on the status of your maintenance window. For a more comprehensive view, the bottom section of the Maintenance Dashboard features a table that includes additional details about the operation types (e.g., Splunk upgrades, App upgrades) involved for each maintenance window. By default, the table is filtered to show all upcoming maintenance activities within the next 30 days, including the "next maintenance window."

In this screenshot we see the informational card about the “next maintenance window” as well as the table filtered to show all upcoming maintenance.

Each row of the table provides detailed information about a specific maintenance window including exact/estimated start time, status, duration, timestamp of when the record was last updated as well as number of operations that Splunk plans to perform within that Maintenance window. Each row comes with a convenient side panel displaying the details of the operations planned, with the option to switch tabs and view the status progress timeline. This ensures you have all the necessary information at your fingertips to share with your end users. The table filter allows you to choose whether you want to view upcoming, past, or all maintenance windows. When filtering the table by upcoming maintenance, the windows are sorted in chronological order, ensuring the nearest maintenance window appears at the forefront for easy reference.

In this screenshot you can see the table filtered to show all the past maintenance windows. It also displays a side panel where you can audit the various states of a Maintenance window completed in the past.

  The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has signed a Working Arrangement with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the US, in the areas of capacity-building, best practices exchange and boosting situational awareness. Geopolitics have shaped the cyber threat landscape, bringing like-minded partners closer together in the wake of common cyber challenges and advances in digital technologies. Today at the EU-US Cyber Dialogue, ENISA and CISA announced the signing of their Working Arrangement as an important milestone in the overall cooperation between the United States and the European Union in the field of cybersecurity, also following the Joint Statement of European Commissioner Thierry Breton and U.S. Secretary for Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas of January 2023. ENISA’s International Strategy directs the Agency to be selective in engaging with international partners and to limit its overall approach in international cooperation to those...

SmartScreen Vulnerability: CVE-2024-21412 Facts and Fixes

-
Image
On Feb. 13, 2024, Microsoft issued a  patch  for CVE-2024-21412, a  Microsoft Defender SmartScreen  vulnerability revolving around internet shortcuts. Previously, we discovered that an advanced persistent threat (APT) group we track under the name Water Hydra has been exploiting CVE-2024-21412 in a sophisticated campaign targeting financial market traders, allowing the group to bypass Microsoft Defender SmartScreen and infect its victims with the DarkMe remote access trojan (RAT). Threat actors are constantly finding new ways of identifying and exploiting gaps to bypass security measures. We found that the bypass of CVE-2023-36025 (a previously patched SmartScreen vulnerability) led to the discovery and exploitation of CVE-2024-21412. This highlights how threat actors can circumvent patches by identifying new vectors of attack around a patched software component. It is important that organizations are able to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, especiall...
