  1. Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never, in nothing, great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.

  2. Finalizing the slides for today’s session on Zero Trust controls. PAM is often the missing piece of the puzzle for many orgs. Looking forward to breaking down how to limit the "blast radius" when things go sideways. 💥🛡️

  6. Incident Overview:
    • Accidental disclosure via incorrect link sharing
    • Recipient knowingly accessed confidential police documents
    • Refusal to delete without compensation
    • Arrest under suspected computer trespass provisions

    Security Takeaways:
    – Operational errors remain a primary breach vector
    – Access control workflows must differentiate upload vs. download permissions
    – User awareness and response protocols are critical
    – Legal frameworks increasingly address post-error exploitation

    This case illustrates a subtle but important principle: accidental exposure does not equate to authorized access.

    From a governance and control perspective, what technical safeguards would you implement to prevent similar incidents?

  10. 🔔 CRITICAL: Plesk 18.0 (CVE-2025-66430) suffers from incorrect access control, risking unauthorized admin actions. No exploit yet, but review roles, restrict access, and monitor logs ASAP. Patch pending. radar.offseq.com/threat/cve-20 #OffSeq #Plesk #Vuln #AccessControl

  11. Server Security Checklist — Essential Hardening Guide

    Securing your servers isn’t optional — it’s your first line of defense against data breaches, ransomware, insider threats, and lateral movement. Use this checklist as a baseline for Linux, Windows, cloud, hybrid, or on-prem servers.

    🔧 1. System & OS Hardening
    • Keep OS & packages updated (apply security patches frequently).
    • Remove / disable unused services & software.
    • Enforce secure boot + BIOS/UEFI passwords.
    • Disable auto-login and guest accounts.
    • Use minimal OS images only (reduce attack surface).

    🔐 2. Access Control
    • Enforce strong passwords & MFA everywhere.
    • Use RBAC & least privilege access.
    • Disable root/Administrator login over SSH/RDP.
    • Rotate credentials & keys regularly.
    • Implement just-in-time access for privileged users.

    🌐 3. Network Security
    • Restrict inbound/outbound traffic via firewalls.
    • Segment critical servers from general LANs/VLANs.
    • Disable unused ports & protocols.
    • Enable DoS/DDoS protection.
    • Apply zero-trust network principles.

    🔑 4. Secure Remote Access
    • Use SSH key-based authentication (disable password login).
    • Enforce VPN for admin access.
    • Log & monitor all remote access sessions.
    • Disable legacy protocols (Telnet, FTP, SMBv1).
    • Require bastion/jump host for critical access.

    📊 5. Logging & Monitoring
    • Enable centralized logging (syslog / SIEM).
    • Track failed login attempts & anomalies.
    • Configure alerts for privilege escalation or config changes.
    • Monitor log tampering.
    • Retain logs securely for audits & forensics.

    🔒 6. Data Protection
    • Encrypt data at rest (LUKS, BitLocker, etc.).
    • Encrypt data in transit (TLS 1.2+).
    • Strict database access policies.
    • Regular, offline, immutable backups.
    • Test restore procedures (don’t assume backups work).

    🔁 7. Application & Patch Management
    • Keep middleware, frameworks, and apps patched.
    • Delete default credentials & sample files.
    • Enable code signing for software packages.
    • Use secure coding practices (OWASP Top 10).
    • Implement dependency scanning (Snyk, Trivy, etc.).

    🛡️ 8. Malware & Intrusion Defense
    • Deploy EDR/AV on endpoints.
    • Enable IDS/IPS at network edge.
    • Automatic vulnerability scans (schedule weekly/monthly).
    • Monitor persistence techniques (cron, startup scripts).
    • Block known malicious IP ranges & TLDs.

    🏢 9. Physical & Cloud Security
    • Restrict physical access to server racks/rooms.
    • Enable provider security tools (AWS Security Groups, Azure NSG, IAM).
    • Harden cloud images (CIS benchmarks).
    • Review cloud logging & audit trails regularly.
    • Disable unused cloud API keys / roles.

    📜 10. Policy & Compliance
    • Use CIS / NIST / ISO-27001 benchmarks.
    • Track & document every access change.
    • Force annual access reviews & key rotation.
    • Perform regular security training for admins.
    • Maintain disaster recovery & incident plans.

    ➕ Additional 5 Critical Controls (Advanced Hardening)

    🧠 11. Privileged Access Management (PAM)
    • Use jump hosts & session recording.
    • Just-In-Time access for admins.
    • Store keys in secure vaults (HashiCorp Vault, CyberArk).

    🚨 12. Real-Time Threat Detection
    • Use behavioral analytics → UEBA/XDR.
    • AI-based anomaly detection recommended.
    • Block suspicious IPs automatically.

    🧪 13. Red Team & Pentesting
    • Run regular internal pentests.
    • Validate configuration weaknesses.
    • Simulate phishing + lateral movement scenarios.

    🧱 14. Container / VM Isolation
    • Use AppArmor, SELinux, Seccomp profiles.
    • Limit Docker socket access & root containers.
    • Scan images before deployment.

    📦 15. Automated Configuration Management
    • Use IaC (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet) for repeatable and secure builds.
    • Detect drift using compliance scanning.
    • Version control all infrastructure.

    🧠 Core Reminder

    A server is only as secure as the team who maintains it.

    🧱 14. Container / VM Isolation
    • Use AppArmor, SELinux, Seccomp profiles.
    • Limit Docker socket access & root containers.
    • Scan images before deployment.

    📦 15. Automated Configuration Management
    • Use IaC (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet) for repeatable and secure builds.
    • Detect drift using compliance scanning.
    • Version control all infrastructure.

    🧠 Core Reminder

    A server is only as secure as the team who maintains it.
    Hardening isn’t one task — it’s an ongoing

  16. RBACX — универсальный RBAC/ABAC-движок авторизации для Python

    RBACX — авторизация без боли в Python-проектах Когда доступ «размазан» по вьюхам и миддлварам, ревью и тесты превращаются в квест - появляется мотивация все это унифицировать. Я написал RBACX — лёгкий движок, где правила описываются декларативно (JSON/YAML), а проверка прав — это один понятный вызов. В статье показываю, как собрать из него аккуратный PDP для микросервисов и монолитов. Я последние два года пишу бэкенд в стартапе MindUp — это мой первый пост на Хабре, и первая библиотека. Буду рад вопросам и критике. Если тема авторизации болит так же, как у меня, загляните!

  18. Many trust physical access control systems (PACS) to secure their spaces, but did you know access cards can often be easily cloned?

    In our latest blog, "How easily access cards can be cloned and why your PACS might be vulnerable," Warren reveals how attackers exploit outdated configurations and default encryption keys to bypass these systems: pentestpartners.com/security-b

    You’ll learn:
    What PACS are and how they work
    How attackers identify and clone common tokens
    What makes a system insecure—and how to fix it

  19. Your door's Physical Access Control System (PACS) helps keep your building secure, but it can be susceptible to cloning attacks.

    Our Warren recently demonstrated this risk to an audience of security professionals by cloning an access badge in just a few minutes—right before their eyes.

    His blog post highlights the top five checks you can take to prevent cloning: pentestpartners.com/security-b
