I teach my teams this simple mantra: measurability == survivability. “Use specific, quantifiable metrics to showcase improvements in security posture and ops efficiency.” Reductions in vulnerability remediation time, decreases in IR costs, and latency too. helpnetsecurity.com/2024/07/24/kar…

Looking forward to seeing folks tomorrow at our BTV panel in LVCC W3 10 from 3-4p. With over 80 years of SOC experience, we cut the buzzword bingo & get real. We’ll be discussing topics like how to get value with threat intel beyond IOC matching, and more! cfc.blueteamvillage.org/dc32/talk/XR7H…

The bad news is there is a vulnerability in the CUPS printer system on Linux. The good news is nobody has ever gotten their printer working on Linux so they are safe.

While working with Project Zero, #NickGalloway found an integer overflow in the dav1d AV1 video decoder. He received questions about issue discovery as dav1d is already being fuzzed by oss-fuzz. This is a useful case study in constructing fuzzers 4 effect googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2024/10/effect…

Big Sleep LLM agent found an exploitable stack buffer underflow in SQLite, the database engine. This is believed to be the first public example of an AI agent finding a previously unknown exploitable memory-safety issue in widely used real-world software. googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2024/10/from-n…
