On July 1, 2024, the <a href="https://www.qualys.com/tru/" target="_blank">Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU)</a> announced the discovery of a Remote Unauthenticated Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in OpenSSH’s server (sshd) in glibc-based Linux systems (CVE-2024-6387). This vulnerability enables remote code execution on OpenSSH's default configuration without authentication or user interaction, granting full root privileges and posing a significant security risk.

If exploited, it could lead to full system compromise where an attacker can take over systems, install malware, manipulate data, and create backdoors for persistent access. It could also result in significant data breaches and leakage, giving attackers access to all data stored on the system, including sensitive or proprietary information that could be stolen or publicly disclosed.

Given the risk presented by this vulnerability, our team is putting on a special presentation to unpack everything you need to know to combat it. Join Himanshu Kathpal and Saeed Abbasi on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at 9:00 A.M PST to find out:

Unknown assets are hiding throughout the modern attack surface, and too many cybersecurity teams rely on disparate scanners and point solutions to find them. One for external scans. One that relies on API-connectors. And a CMDB that’s constantly missing asset records.

Join us for the introduction of CyberSecurity Asset Management 3.0—the ultimate consolidation of asset discovery and cyber risk assessment. Kunal Modasiya (VP of Product Management at Qualys) will demonstrate the power of versatile discovery and risk assessment beyond vulnerabilities, including:

• Consolidating internal and external discovery to include EASM attribution, built-in passive sensing for unmanaged devices on the network, and 3rd-party connectors to compliment Qualys sensors
• Isolating external attack surface risks with patent pending scanning technology to reduce false positives up to 60%
• Prioritizing risk beyond vulnerabilities to include end-of-support (EoS) software, risky open ports, and missing security controls
• Transforming the CMDB from out-of-date to up-to-date by syncing all assets (including external and IoT) to streamline IT-Security workflow and reduce MTTR by half

Eliminate the risk from unknown assets in your organization. Register today!
