Blog 20 # Risks of Virtualization and How to Mitigate Them
Linkedin
January 20, 2024
Virtualization threats refer to the risks and vulnerabilities associated with virtualization technology, which allows for the creation of virtual versions of physical resources such as servers and operating systems. There are two main types of virtualization threats: Type I and Type II.


Type I virtualization, also known as bare-metal virtualization, involves running a hypervisor directly on the physical hardware. Common threats in this type include hypervisor vulnerabilities and escape attacks.


Type II virtualization, also known as hosted virtualization, involves running a hypervisor within a host operating system. Threats in this type include guest VM exploitation and misconfigured VMs.


To mitigate virtualization threats, it is important to implement best practices such as regularly updating and patching the virtualization environment, implementing access controls and strong security policies, and monitoring hypervisor activities. Keeping up with the latest threats and security measures is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of virtualized environments.

Blog 42 # Password Recovery Questions Are Easy to Hack?
Linkedin
January 29, 2024
Protecting our online accounts is of utmost importance in today's digital age. However, it's crucial to be aware of potential vulnerabilities, even in seemingly secure practices like password recovery questions.

Password recovery questions are often used as an additional layer of security to regain access to an account if the password is forgotten. However, recent studies have revealed that these questions may not be as secure as we once believed.

The problem lies in the nature of the questions themselves. Many common recovery questions, such as "What is your mother's maiden name?" or "What's your pet's name?", have answers that can be easily guessed or obtained through social media profiles or public records. This makes it easier for hackers to bypass this security measure and gain unauthorized access to accounts.

To strengthen your account security and reduce the risk of falling victim to such attacks, consider the following measures:

Avoid using common or easily obtainable information as answers to recovery questions. Instead, opt for more unique and obscure answers that only you would know.

Use password managers or encrypted vaults to store your passwords and recovery information securely. These tools can generate strong and unique passwords, eliminating the need for predictable answers to recovery questions.

Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever possible. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification, such as a unique code sent to your phone or email, in addition to your password.

Regularly update your passwords and security settings across all your online accounts. This practice minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and ensures that you stay one step ahead of potential hackers.

By adopting these proactive security measures, we can better protect our online identities and confidential information from potential breaches.
