How to Protect Yourself From the New macOS Security Vulnerabilityattachment image

Mac users take heed: A recently disclosed vulnerability present in the macOS Gatekeeper—otherwise known as the “Cavallarin” exploit—has reportedly been leveraged by adware creators. It’s times like these when we’re reminded of the best advice for keeping your Mac protected from these kinds of issues: When in doubt, install apps from the Mac App Store or trusted third-party sources, not just any ol’ thing you found on the internet.

Is anybody using an IDS/IPS solution in their AWS environment?

We are currently implementing the whole suite of AWS security related products. Macie, GuardDuty, CIS Foundations with CFN, AWS Config with aggregation, AWS Inspector, AWS Security Hub

chrism avatar

We use inspector/guard duty/watch/etc, configs pricings off-putting

Igor avatar

Thanks. Have you guys heard of Security Onion? Looks like an interesting option and the new VPC mirroring should help with setting it up

Igor avatar

AFAIK Guard Duty does not fully qualify as IDS/IPS

Interesting. If it all shows up in cloudtrail, while it won’t be as user friendly as something like teleport, it seems like it’s not a bad substitute if it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg

this is nice, had to use https://github.com/Netflix/bless in the past to achieve the same thing

Oh wow @btai: I did not know about Bless. This looks cool!

btai avatar

@Blaise Pabon im not sure its worth the hassle anymore because of ec2 connect

but maybe to use internally between apps? I guess that would be what KMS is for (I’m relatively new to AWS)
