Covering activity from May 2023 to March 2024, the report highlights an increase in scanning for disclosed CVEs, command injections, and PoC weaponization. Key targeted vulnerabilities included flaws in Apache, ColdFusion, and MobileIron products. . A notable example is CVE-2024-27198, exploited shortly after its release. Cloudflare emphasizes the need for AI to quickly develop detection rules to combat this rapid exploitation and underscores the urgency of patching systems to avoid being exploited. . The report also reveals that 6.8% of all internet traffic is DDoS-related, a rise from the previous year's 6%, with peaks reaching 12% during major attacks. ---- The firm's PDF report, available for download here - https://lnkd.in/g9Y7rZGG . . . . #avmconsulting #CyberSecurity #PoCExploits #CloudflareReport #VulnerabilityManagement #UrgentPatching #DDoS #CVE #AIinSecurity #ThreatDetection #InfoSec #CyberThreats #PatchManagement #SecurityTrends #WebSecurity #MalwareDefense

AWS has announced the general availability of Cargo support in CodeArtifact, enabling developers to store and manage Rust libraries (crates) within CodeArtifact repositories. Rust, a systems programming language known for its performance and safety, uses libraries called crates to distribute reusable code. . Cargo, the package manager for Rust, facilitates the publishing and downloading of these crates. Developers can configure CodeArtifact to fetch crates from crates.io, the central repository for Rust packages. . When connected to a CodeArtifact repository, Cargo automatically retrieves and stores requested crates from crates.io. This integration allows developers to access both private first-party crates and public third-party crates from a single source. . . . . #avmconsulting #AWS #CodeArtifact #RustLang #Cargo #RustProgramming #Crates #PackageManager #CloudDevelopment #DevOps #SoftwareDevelopment #AWSUpdate #CloudComputing #ProgrammingLanguages #RustCommunity #TechNews #CloudStorage #DependencyManagement #AWSCodeArtifact #RustCargo
