Backup and Disaster recovery are core considerations for any business with an IT footprint, whether that is on-premises or in the cloud.
Your business depends on reliable IT systems to support the business's core functions. Even a short 1-hour outage can cause considerable disruption and have a financial impact to the business. Given our ever-growing reliance on IT systems, it is important more than ever to choose the right VM Backup software for your business to protect your Virtual Infrastructure (Vmware, Hyper-V) and business data in the case of a system failure or security incident while at the same time provide fast individual file or folder, server database or entire VM restoration.
By utilizing Altaro VM Backup as a case study, this article will guide you through the following main 6 areas which you should consider when choosing your VM Backup solution:
Keeping your Palo Alto Firewall up to date with the latest PAN-OS software updates is an important step to ensure your organization is protected against the PAN-OS latest software vulnerabilities, software bugs but at the same time take advantage of Palo Alto’s latest security enhancements and capabilities.
While Palo Alto Networks makes the software upgrade process an easy task, sometimes problems can occur. One frequently seen issue is the “Error: Image File Authentication Error – Failed to Load into Software Manager” error when trying to download a new software image.
This error can occur on a standalone or HA-Pair Firewall configuration:

SQL injection vulnerabilities have held the first spot on the OWASP Top 10 list for quite some time. This is due to the fact that they are both still widespread and can lead to very serious consequences. Many major security breaches were caused by SQL injections, even in recent months. For example, this type of vulnerability caused a leak of financial data for more than 70 percent of citizens of Bulgaria.
However, SQL vulnerabilities are also easy to discover automatically using web vulnerability scanners. Advanced web security scanning software like Acunetix can detect even the more advanced type of SQL injections such as blind SQL injections. SQL injections are also easy to fix and avoid. Developers can use parameterized queries (prepared statements) or stored procedures to avoid the root cause of SQL injections, which is the direct use of untrusted user input in SQL queries.
In this article, we will show you how to scan your web applications for SQL injections using the latest version of Acunetix. The scan will be performed on the VulnWeb site by Acunetix, which is intentionally vulnerable to attacks. The article assumes that you have downloaded and installed the Acunetix demo.
Here is an overview of what we’ve got covered:

With nearly every business sector relying on the internet and digital tools to function, it is no surprise that cybersecurity is the second-fastest growing industry. Hackers don’t care how large or small your company is. They will target all sizes in an all-out effort to steal data, access confidential or classified information, cause mayhem, and hurt the organization's reputation.
Fortunately, not all hackers have nefarious intentions. The open source community is full with experts who are looking to warn people about threats and find the most effective ways to keep data safe. Many of those experts are a part of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).
In this article, we'll cover the basics of OWASP and the critical role this work plays in the everyday operation of computers, servers, and other forms of modern technology. Topics covered include:
OWASP was originally founded in 2001 by Mark Curphey and is run as a not-for-profit organization in the United States. The bulk of its contributors are pulled from the open-source community. Today, more than 32,000 people volunteer as part of OWASP's efforts, with much of their communication coming through message boards or email distribution lists.
The organization is designed to be an unbiased group focused on the best interests of the technology world as a whole. They will not promote specific vendor products or solutions. Instead, OWASP aims to provide practical information to organizations all across the world, with the goal of offering helpful security advice to bring about more informed decisions.
Where OWASP becomes particularly valuable is too small and medium-sized businesses that may not have a large IT budget and lack expertise when it comes to cybersecurity. Thanks to the documentation that OWASP creates, these types of organizations can gain a better understanding of where their systems are vulnerable and how to protect themselves better.
If you’ve heard of OWASP, it’s likely been in conjunction with a report they update every few years known as the OWASP Top 10. The list covers the most relevant cybersecurity threats facing the global community. Later in this article, we'll dive into some of the specifics referenced in the Top 10.
