Meanwhile, Supermicro's BMC firmware is giving away root access like it's going out of style. If you thought your Kia was safe, think again - all it takes is a license plate and 30 seconds to turn your car into a hacker's joyride. China's been busy building a massive IoT botnet called Raptor Train. It's been chugging along undetected for four years. NIST has decided that your password doesn't need to be a cryptographic masterpiece anymore. No more special characters or arbitrary changes - just make it long and don't use "password123". A Texas hospital is playing a game of "hot potato" with ambulances thanks to a ransomware attack.

The zero-trust security model has been billed as an ultra-safe defense against emerging, unrecognized and well-known threats. Unlike perimeter security, it doesn't assume people inside an organization are automatically safe. Instead, it requires every user and device -- inside and out -- to be authorized before any access is granted. Sounds enticing, but deployments require major architectural, hardware, and software changes to be successful. Rob Allen, Chief Performance Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how their Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform can start to help you attain Zero Trust from your endpoints by: Blocking Untrusted Software, Ringfencing™ Applications, and Dynamically Controlling Network Traffic This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.
