Hello! I'm a Colorkrew infrastructure and security engineer. There was Valentine's Day in February. Did you eat chocolate? I received the chocolate from my mother safely, so I enjoyed it.

Hello! I'm a Colorkrew infrastructure and security engineer. There was Valentine's Day in February. Did you eat chocolate? I received the chocolate from my mother safely, so I enjoyed it.

So, we have summarized the vulnerabilities that need to be addressed as we continued last month.
For those involved in SOC/security operations, we will identify the most recent vulnerabilities to watchCybersecurity
and the Known
Exploited Vulnerbilities Catalog published by the Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) published by The MITRE Corporation Based on Records, we have written explanations + how to deal with it. Please take advantage of this to reduce the operational burden while visualizing and prioritizing risks.

 

What is Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog?

The Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog is a list of "Vulnerabilities Confirmed to Have Actually Exploited" published by CISA. Therefore, it can be used as a criterion for quickly responding to vulnerabilities that are actually used in cyberattacks.

 

What is Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures?

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) are identifiers assigned to vulnerabilities in individual products published by The MITRE Corporation. An organization of security professionals, such as security vendors, product development vendors, and researchers, evaluates reported vulnerabilities and assigns identifiers.
