  On March 14, 2023,  Adobe released a security advisory affecting Adobe ColdFusion versions 2021 and 2018.                                                        The vulnerability was categorized as improper access control, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. The  exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.   No PoC has been released so far, however, after further investigation, the Imperva Threat Research team created effective mitigation against this vulnerability. Over the past few days, we observed hundreds of exploitation attempts successfully thwarted by Imperva Cloud WAF and Imperva WAF Gateway (customer-managed WAF).     Most exploitation attempts were carried out by automated hacking tools written in the Go programming language. The attackers tried to read sensitive f...

  What is SLP protocol? Service Location Protocol (SLP) is a network protocol designed to simplify the process of discovering and accessing network services. Developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and defined in RFC 2608, SLP eliminates the need for users or administrators to manually configure clients with the addresses of available network services. Instead, it allows devices and applications to automatically find and connect to services in their local area networks (LANs). Since the SLP protocol doesn’t require authentication, anyone can register new services, which is why it wasn’t intended to be publicly available over the Internet. How Does SLP Work? SLP operates based on a request-response model that involves three primary components: User Agents (UAs), Service Agents (SAs), and Directory Agents (DAs). User Agents (UAs): UAs are clients seeking network services. They send out service requests to discover the available services in the network. Service Agents ...

  One of the principal benefits of a  modern data-centric security fabric  is being able to automatically apply security controls to the data itself and drive policy-compliant data handling behavior by  privileged users . But we all know that detecting a security incident is just the first part of the process. If your organization’s response to anomalous behavior is inefficient, the automated detection competency that you have painstakingly built devalues quickly. In this post, we’ll examine why manual change management is not sustainable  in a world of automated incident detection, and why the march to  automated security orchestration  and event response has been slow. We’ll also explain the three essential functionalities an automated data security orchestration solution must provide to ensure optimized threat remediation. The evolution from change management to security orchestration for incident remediation Change management has been an elus...

Today’s website visitors expect a fast and efficient user experience with no delays or site performance issues. However, high traffic volumes and global reaching websites mean website managers are faced with the challenge of added latency and slow page load times, which can result in lost business. According to WebSiteBuilderExpert.com, 1 in 4 site visitors would abandon a website that takes more than 4 seconds to load. And 46% of site visitors do not revisit poorly performing websites, according to Unbounce.com. A strong Content Delivery Network   (CDN) is critical for website managers and businesses that rely on their websites for success, and here are ten reasons why. Improve your engagement Faster site speed times and more responsive websites bring results in more conversions. As little as a  one-second delay  in page load time can reduce customer satisfaction by 16%. Slow page load times According to  Unbounce , ‘Nearly 70% of consumers admit that page speed inf...
