BSIMM: Framework assessing software security maturity. Compares practices across organizations. Focuses on observable activities, guiding improvements in software security initiatives. Aids in measuring progress, adopting best practices.
RCE allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on a target system remotely due to vulnerabilities. Exploited via malware, web applications, or insecure APIs, it poses severe security risks. Prevention includes regular updates, input validation, and strong access controls.
Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE): Vulnerability allowing attackers to run malicious code on a system, compromising security. Exploited through software flaws, misconfigurations, or improper input validation, leading to data breaches and control over compromised systems. Prevention includes secure coding, regular updates, and thorough input checks.
SBOM: List of software components in a product. Enhances transparency, security, compliance. Essential for risk management, vulnerability tracking, supply chain integrity.
DMARC: Email authentication protocol. Prevents spoofing, phishing. Requires SPF/DKIM alignment. Provides reporting for domain owners. Enhances email security.
DKIM: Email authentication method using cryptographic signatures. Validates sender's domain, prevents spoofing, enhances email security, supports integrity. Implemented via public/private key pairs in DNS.
CTEM: Ongoing process identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats across systems. Integrates threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and risk assessment. Aims for proactive security and resilience against evolving threats.
Fake recruiters distribute malware through bogus job assignments. Candidates receive suspicious tasks, often hosted on questionable GitHub repositories, designed to steal data like passwords and crypto wallets. Warning signs include unusual usernames and illegitimate communication channels. It's crucial to verify the recruiter's legitimacy and ensure safe data practices to avoid falling victim to these scams, often linked to criminal organizations like North Korea's Lazarus group.

CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) shifts cybersecurity from reactive to proactive, addressing vulnerabilities before attacks occur. Traditional security struggles against evolving threats, making CTEM's real-time assessment vital. It involves five stages: Scoping, Discovery, Prioritization, Validation, and Mobilization. Though challenging to implement due to tool fragmentation and the need for a cultural shift, CTEM enhances security and mitigates risks continuously, adapting to modern threats like cloud vulnerabilities and supply chain issues.
Extreme TLDR: A CIO's 5-point checklist for selecting an AI agent platform includes evaluating the agent building environment, ensuring thorough API documentation, accessing professional support, monitoring system uptime, and exploring the vendor's product roadmap.
