alisaie - actually has the fighting style best for taking him down but she just doesn't have the skill and experience. without the mental/emotional "i cannot hurt these kids" component...sorry alisaie.

alphinaud - lol

thancred - 2nd most likely because nin spec & longest combat experience of the original crew. i think he can hold out for a few mins

urianger - i dont know wild card. maybe he'll get a death spellcast out on him. he'd probably also have a weird robin lucina moment where he'd go like well my life was always yours to take

y'shtola - would have a strong counter to his magic bs but her aether output just wouldn't match up to his + if he gets close enough then it would suck. she could just hit the flow button again and send both of them to hell

g'raha - could probably hold out for a few mins also. he might know some craazyy trickster magic i dont know but he's up against a hyperjacked all rounder. also would probably hit the my life was always yours to take

Access Control for Remote Work – Securing Virtual Environments

As work-from-home policies increase, securing remote environments is becoming ever more vital. To safeguard devices and their data securely, comprehensive security measures must be in place.

Implement zero trust solutions that restrict access based on device and user identity and ensure granular security for remote workers.

Cloud-based solutions

As cyber attackers move beyond simple ransomware and phishing attacks to exploit weaknesses in cloud infrastructure, they are taking advantage of multitenant architecture found in public cloud environments – which allows them to access data belonging to different customers on one physical server.

However, cloud services still pose security risks, including unauthorized access and data breaches. To reduce these vulnerabilities, strong authentication, multifactor access control, configuration management with limited user privileges and encryption techniques should be utilized to protect data at rest and in transit; keys should also be securely managed. Regular backups help to mitigate damage due to data loss as well as restore functionality when breaches do occur.

An effective cloud security posture is achieved through the implementation of security policies, role and remit definition, and integration into development (Shift Left). Cloud-based solutions provide solutions to help manage these challenges by providing uniform rules, controls, and authentication across a hybrid environment.

To avoid threats that can threaten an entire business, it is vital to regularly monitor for suspicious activity and perform vulnerability scans. This will help stop malware attacks while shortening patch release-to-implementation timeframes; further, access audits and identity management solutions can reduce risks posed by attackers who obtain stolen login credentials and misuse accounts without authorization.

Vulnerabilities

As remote work continues to proliferate, companies are discovering innovative methods of protecting their facilities against unauthorised entry. Solutions may range from biometric authentication systems and cloud-based systems to provide both security and convenience.

The traditional network perimeter model no longer applies in virtual environments. New virtual machines can easily be created, migrated, and deleted – making it hard to define and monitor security boundaries effectively. Furthermore, hypervisor access outside the firewall increases vulnerability for attacks like hyperjacking.

Remote work security demands an adaptive, comprehensive approach, including zero trust network access (ZTNA), multifactor authentication (MFA), and continuous monitoring. Furthermore, policies must include clear guidelines on device usage, password complexity and software installation along with incident reporting in order to educate remote workers of cyber risks while following appropriate protocols to prevent unauthorzied entry into systems.

Cyberattack detection systems and backup strategies are two essential elements of remote work security, along with encryption technology which protects sensitive information from interception or theft, such as ransomware. Businesses should also implement secure remote access tools so their employees can transfer files between their mobile devices and company network safely.

Access control policies

As remote work becomes more prevalent, companies are searching for effective methods of protecting their networks. Policy enforcement is key for successful remote access control – all employees should receive regular cybersecurity best practice training as part of an organization’s remote work policy and they should create access control policies tailored specifically for them and any safety concerns that might exist.

One of the greatest security risks associated with remote work is data leakage and loss. Sensitive information could be exposed through misconfigured cloud storage services, unsecure networks or stolen devices; employees themselves could unknowingly reveal sensitive data by accidentally downloading copies onto personal devices; weak passwords also present a serious security risk as employees may use these without thinking – leaving their systems open to hacking attacks.

To mitigate security threats, it’s crucial to implement solutions with both flexibility and scalability in mind. Such solutions should enable remote workers to log on from any location with an internet connection and view device screens remotely; support multiple authentication methods seamlessly while offering a smooth user experience; additionally they must include provisions for backing up data should an attack or hardware failure occur.

Scalability

Logical access control systems differ from physical security in that they don’t restrict users to one building; rather, they can be implemented anywhere there is Internet connectivity, enabling businesses to scale remote work operations while maintaining security. Scalability requires using secure, granular access controls based on both user identity and device security posture in order to reduce risks related to unapproved data exposure while ensuring remote employees only gain access to systems and resources essential to doing their jobs.

As part of their job duties, remote workers should use VPNs or secure connections to connect to the company network, in order to protect sensitive information from unauthorized third-parties who could intercept or exploit vulnerabilities in the connection. Furthermore, employee behavior monitoring must take place alongside company policies enforcement so as to ensure all remote work takes place on appropriate devices.

Implementing an effective remote work strategy that addresses speed, security and scalability will help position your organization for success. While its outcome remains unknown at present, taking proactive measures now could save both time and money during an eventual recovery phase; furthermore it will allow for quick adjustment of remote operations to combat performance issues should the pandemic last for longer than expected.

Malware in the Cloud: What You Need to Know

Cloud security is not as simple as it may seem. Businesses have a shared security responsibility with cloud service providers, but some lack the knowledge to keep up their share of the bargain. Poor configuration and data leaks are common problems that many businesses encounter in the cloud. These issues can lead to malware infecting your cloud computing environment.

Here are a few of the different types of malware that can disrupt your cloud services.

DDoS Attacks

Botnets are becoming more and more common, with malware-as-a-service being offered by more malicious actors at an increasingly cheap price. Self-service cloud offerings allow these attackers to easily gain access and notoriety by launching large-scale DDoS attacks, which have been measured at speeds of up to 30 Gbps. Since cloud computing hosts multiple customers in a single cloud, these attacks can affect your cloud environment, as well.

Hypercall Attacks

An attacker uses a Virtual Machine (VM) to intrude the victim’s VM by exploiting the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) hypercall handler. This gives the attacker the ability to access VMM privileges and possibly even execute malicious code.

Hypervisor DoS

This attack uses a high percentage of your hypervisor’s resources in order to leverage flaws in design or setup. Researchers found that this malware accounted for 70 percent of malware attacks targeting cloud providers’ hypervisor, which manages customers’ virtual environments. One study found that 71.2 percent of all Xen and 65.8 percent of all KVM vulnerabilities could be exploited by a guest VM. For the sake of context, AWS uses Xen for its hypervisor, and Google uses a proprietary version of KVM.

Co-Location

An attacker tries to find the target VM’s host in order to place their own VM on the same host. This is used to gain leverage in cross-VM side-channel attacks, such as Flush/Reload or Prime and Probe.

Hyperjacking

This is where an attacker tries to take control of the hypervisor, sometimes using a virtual machine-based rootkit. If the attacker is successful, they will have access to the entire machine. This could be used to change the behavior of the VM, causing it to be partially or fully compromised.

Man in the middle (MITM)

MITM is when an attacker can intercept and/or change messages exchanged between users. Ghostwriter is a common precursor to a MitM attack. This allows the attacker access to a misconfigured cloud configuration with public write access.

Exploiting Live Migration

During migration from one cloud service provider to another, the cloud management system is tricked into creating multiple migrations, which turns into a denial-of-service attack. This can also be used to potentially craft a VM Escape.

VM Escape

This accounts for 13.1 percent of all malware attacks on virtual machines in cloud environments. VM Escape involves running in a VM and escaping to infect the hypervisor. The goal in this attack is to obtain root privileges, host OS control and maybe even full access across the environment.

Flush/Reload

This attack utilizes a memory optimization technique known as memory deduplication. By enacting a sophisticated cross side-channel technique, a malicious actor can detect a full AES encryption key.

Prime and Probe

This is a VM cross side-channel attack that utilizes cache instead of memory. The attacker fills the cache with some of their own information. Once the victim uses the VM, the attacker uses this information to see which cache lines were accessed by the victim. This method has been used to recover an AWS encryption key.

What is a hypervisor?

New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/what-is-a-hypervisor/

What is a hypervisor?

Hypervisors typically get missed as a expertise in favor of the flashier idea of virtualization, however you possibly can’t get to the enjoyable of virtualization till you perceive what a hypervisor does inside a computing system.

Whereas the advantages of virtualization and cloud computing could now look like outdated hat throughout the IT infrastructure, that wasn’t all the time the case, and it’s hypervisor expertise that has helped drive innovation on the planet of cloud computing.

A hypervisor is a course of that separates a pc’s working system and purposes from the underlying bodily . Often executed as software program though embedded hypervisors could be created for issues like cell gadgets.

The hypervisor drives the idea of virtualization by permitting the bodily host machine to function a number of digital machines as friends to assist maximize the efficient use of computing assets corresponding to reminiscence, community bandwidth and CPU cycles.

Within the late 1960s and thru the 1970s, most virtualization and hypervisor work was seen on mainframe computer systems developed by IBM, to be used in constructing time-sharing methods, testing new working system concepts and even exploring new ideas. The virtualization side allowed programmers to deploy and debug with out jeopardizing the steadiness of the principle manufacturing system and with out having to deploy further expensive improvement methods.

Leaping forward to the mid-2000s, hypervisors took heart stage when Unix, Linux and different Unix-like working methods started to make the most of virtualization applied sciences. Causes for the expansion of hypervisors and virtualization included higher capabilities, which might now permit a single machine to do extra simultaneous work; cost-control efforts that led to consolidation of servers; improved safety and reliability as a result of hypervisor structure enhancements; and the power to run OS-dependent purposes on completely different or OS environments. As well as, in 2005, CPU distributors started including virtualization to their x86-based merchandise, extending the supply (and advantages) of virtualization to PC- and server-based audiences.

Although VMs can run on the identical bodily , they’re nonetheless logically separated from one another. Which means if one VM experiences an error, crash or a malware assault, it doesn’t prolong to different VMs on the identical machine, and even different machines.

VMs are additionally very cell – as a result of they’re impartial of the underlying , they are often moved or migrated between native or distant virtualized servers an entire lot simpler than conventional purposes which can be tied to bodily .

There are two varieties of hypervisors, creatively named Sort 1 or Sort 2. Sort 1 hypervisors, typically referred to as “native” or “naked steel” hypervisors, run straight on the host’s to manage the and handle the visitor VMs. Trendy hypervisors embody Xen, Oracle VM Server for SPARC, Oracle VM Server for x86, Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware’s ESX/ESXi.

Sort 2 hypervisors, typically referred to as “hosted hypervisors,” run on a standard OS, similar to different purposes on the system. On this case, a visitor OS runs as a course of on the host, whereas the hypervisors separate the visitor OS from the host OS. Examples of Sort 2 hypervisors embody VMware Workstation, VMware Participant, VirtualBox and Parallels Desktop for Mac.

Within the enterprise knowledge heart house, consolidation has resulted in three main distributors on the hypervisor entrance: VMware, Microsoft and Citrix Techniques.

Lately, container expertise has grown in reputation as a doable alternative for hypervisors, as they will place extra purposes right into a single bodily server than a digital machine can.

“VMs take up lots of system assets. Every VM runs not only a full copy of an working system, however a digital copy of all of the that the working system must run. This shortly provides as much as lots of RAM and CPU cycles. In distinction, all container requires is sufficient of an working system, supporting applications and libraries, and system assets to run a selected program,” says Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols on this 2016 Community World article.

Safety considerations and sensible makes use of of VMs, nonetheless, imply that containers received’t essentially substitute hypervisors/VMs, however fairly firms will use a mix of each, in response to Vaughan-Nichols. On the safety situation, some really feel that containers are much less safe than hypervisors, as a result of containers solely having one OS that purposes share, whereas VMs isolate not solely the appliance, however the OS as properly. If an utility will get compromised, it may assault the only OS in a container, affecting different purposes. If an utility in a VM will get compromised, just one OS on that server can be affected, not different purposes or OSes on the VM. Marvin Waschke writes about this situation on this InfoWorld weblog put up.

Whereas hypervisors could be thought of safer than containers by some measures, that does not imply there aren’t safety considerations related to hypervisors. For instance, in principle hackers can create malware and rootkits that set up themselves as a hypervisor under the OS. Often called hyperjacking, this course of could be harder to detect, because the malware may intercept operations of the OS (for instance, getting into a password) with out anti-malware software program essentially detecting it, as a result of the malware runs under the OS.

Debate continues whether or not it might be doable to detect the presence of a hypervisor-based rootkit. Some have applied the idea – the SubVirt and Blue Tablet malware – whereas others have demonstrated a hypervisor-layer anti-rootkit referred to as Hooksafe, which offers generic safety towards kernel-mode rootkits.

The idea of hypervisors hasn’t simply been restricted to server operation. Storage hypervisors, for instance, take the identical idea and apply it to knowledge storage. A storage hypervisor can run on bodily , as a VM, inside a hypervisor OS or inside a bigger storage community. Identical to hypervisors, a storage hypervisor can run on particular or be impartial of the .

Along with storage, hypervisors are key for different virtualization efforts, together with desktop virtualization, OS virtualization and utility virtualization.

Embedded hypervisors help the necessities of embedded methods. These are completely different from hypervisors that concentrate on server and desktop purposes. The embedded hypervisor is designed into the embedded machine from the outset, fairly than loaded subsequent to machine deployment.

Whereas desktop and enterprise environments use hypervisors to consolidate and isolate computing environments from each other, in an embedded system, the varied parts usually operate collectively to offer the machine’s performance. Cellular virtualization overlaps with embedded system virtualization, and shares some use instances.

This story, “What’s a hypervisor?” was initially revealed by Community World.
