As cybersecurity threats continue to rise, traditional passwords are no longer enough to protect sensitive accounts and data. Traditional two-factor authentication (2FA) methods like SMS codes or authenticator apps were once considered strong defences, modern cyber threats have exposed their weaknesses. Attackers have learned how to intercept SMS, phish OTP codes, and even hijack authentication
Just-in-time (JIT) access is a modern security practice which reduces risk by granting users privileges only when it is required and for a specific period, eliminating permanent access found in legacy access control models. With JIT, users don’t carry admin or privileged roles all day. Instead, they request access, get approvals, complete the task, and
OpenSSH 10.0: A Comprehensive Look at it’s Security-Driven Overhaul OpenSSH 10.0 released on April 9, 2025, marks a turning point for one of the most critical tools in modern IT infrastructure. As the de facto standard for secure remote administration, file transfer, and tunneling, OpenSSH has continuously evolved to address new threats and cryptographic trends.
Faillock is a security module within the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) framework used in Linux systems. The pam_faillock.so module tracks failed login attempts from individual users over a defined time interval. The module automatically locks the user’s account when the number of failed attempts exceeds the configured threshold. This mechanism helps to protect Linux systems
ISO 27001 compliance is a globally recognized framework for managing and protecting sensitive information through a structured Information Security Management System (ISMS). ISO 27001 helps businesses identify vulnerabilities, implement effective security controls, and maintain regulatory compliance. Whether you’re pursuing ISO 27001 certification or strengthening your information security strategy, aligning with this standard boosts trust, credibility,
Managing SSH access to your Linux servers, routers, switches and other endpoint devices are paramount to maintaining security. This article describes how a security administrator can manage employees SSH access to Linux endpoint devices as a non-privileged system user, escalate the privileges and limit the commands that can be executed by the employee. We will describe below
