100 Words On….. Spectre & Meltdown
Spectre and Meltdown gave us two points to consider. First, your defence in depth strategy leveraging patching is more valuable than ever, especially in shared hosting environments which appear to be most at risk. Second, let us consider vulnerabilities not for what they are but what they could become. Being local exploits, layers of defence that include physical, technical, logical, and administrative methods must be robust to mitigate access and exploitation of the vulnerabilities. While apparently “read only” vulnerabilities, information gained maliciously via these exploits could be used in future attacks. Stay informed, review your response strategy, and apply updates.
