If you want to harden your security without breaking the bank, start with five open-source tools every company should know and use regularly: 🛡️ 🔎 Nmap: scan servers 🖥️ to find open ports, running services, and obvious misconfigurations. Identify non-essential ports/services and shut them down to reduce your attack surface. 🌐 Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP): run automated web scans 🔍 against your site, then triage and fix the issues ZAP finds before attackers do. ⚠️ OpenVAS: a budget-friendly network vulnerability scanner for workstations and servers 💸. Great for scheduled scans and prioritizing patching or config changes. 🕵️ Nikto: a fast ⚡ web vulnerability scanner used by penetration testers to catch common web server issues and misconfigurations that other tools might miss. 🔒 VeraCrypt: encrypt workstations, external drives, and USB sticks 💾. It’s OS-independent, so encrypted drives work across Windows, macOS, and Linux as long as VeraCrypt is installed. Small habit changes make a big difference: schedule regular scans 📅, treat findings like tickets 🎫, and enforce encryption for removable media 🔐. Which of these will you add to your security playbook this quarter? 🤔📈 Read more: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eGzPY_SX

Critical Windows Kerberos Flaw Enables DNS-Based Credential Relay Attacks Across Enterprise Networks Introduction: A Silent Shift in Kerberos Attack Surface A newly disclosed vulnerability in Windows Kerberos authentication is reshaping how defenders must think about credential relay attacks. Unlike older techniques that depended on NTLM or niche configurations, this flaw abuses DNS behavior at a fundamental level, allowing attackers to manipulate how Service Principal Names (SPNs) are selected during Kerberos authentication. The result is a powerful relay vector that works even in environments where NTLM has been fully disabled and Kerberos is assumed to be “secure by default.” Tracked as CVE-2026-20929, the issue affects modern Windows client and server systems and has been confirmed by Microsoft following responsible disclosure....
