Skyrecon joins VMware's TAP


SkyRecon Systems, the premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint security solutions, today announced that it has joined VMware's highly regarded Technology Alliance Program (TAP). SkyRecon's involvement in TAP brings to bear its StormShield Unified Client Security solution, the first proactive, multi-layer, real-time defense system for network endpoints residing in and connecting to the increasingly prevalent number of virtual IT environments.

StormShield addresses each critical aspect of endpoint protection, from intrusion prevention to application and device control, to content encryption, all through a single lightweight agent. StormShield offers flexibility and true enterprise integration, making it an ideal component in any comprehensive approach to protecting physical and virtual enterprise endpoints, including mobile devices that are routinely taken beyond the physical perimeter of an organization and therefore introduce a greater risk of data leakage. An organization's IT security policy can no longer be restricted to the physical perimeter and the physical devices that comprise the perimeter, but must also consider the virtual perimeter and the virtual computing environment -- encompassing the mobile workforce, virtual servers, and increased access to sensitive business data.

"SkyRecon's involvement in VMware's TAP program will be of great benefit to IT departments seeking an endpoint security solution to support their overall security initiatives," said Sean Martin, CISSP, Vice President, Marketing for SkyRecon. "The partnership raises the awareness of StormShield's endpoint protection capabilities for protecting the virtual environments and the sensitive data that they host -- including the virtual images themselves."

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
