As an example, take my name  – acephale as an input string and pass it through a SHA256 algorithm, and we get the following string of characters:

How often should we apply patches and who is responsible for patch management? This article will shed more light on software patching.

The sophistication of cybersecurity threats has outpaced the development of conventional security tools. Aside from automated and commoditized hacking methods such as file-based malware, botnets and viruses, advanced persistent threats (APTs) have also risen to become threats to anyone’s security. APTs are persistent malicious actors that attempt to gain access to sensitive information and infrastructure over a period of time.  

As stewards of the lush and vast landscape of security vulnerabilities, we felt obliged to share with you the top trending CVEs of the past month (who's excited for winter to be over?! 😁☀️🌷). Brace yourself! Ok, here we go.

Well, we made it through the first month of 2021! (Hopefully without any scratches or bruises 😅). As stewards of the lush and vast landscape of security vulnerabilities, we felt obliged to share with you the top trending CVEs of the past month. So, without further ado, The Top Trending CVEs of January 2021:

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) offers software developers, security and IT experts with a standardized process for evaluating vulnerabilities. CVSS can be used to evaluate the threat level of each vulnerability and then prioritize mitigation accordingly. This article explains the way CVSS works, which includes a review of its components and describes the importance of using a standardized process for evaluating vulnerabilities.
