Read Time: 5 minutes Blockchain technology with a network of nodes on which cryptocurrencies are built wouldn’t thrive without consensus mechanisms. These refer to methodologies used in the blockchain network to achieve agreement (consensus) and trust across a decentralized network of computers. Blockchain consensus mechanisms play a vital role in ensuring that the security and performance of the network …

A "potentially destructive actor" aligned with the government of Iran is actively exploiting the well-known Log4j vulnerability to infect unpatched VMware Horizon servers with ransomware. Cybersecurity firm SentinelOne dubbed the group "TunnelVision" owing to their heavy reliance on tunneling tools, with overlaps in tactics observed to that of a broader group tracked under the moniker Phosphorus

In the past year, attackers have focused on the lucrative supply chain. Organizations need to defend against such attacks, even inside their perimeters.

As attackers increasingly target the lucrative supply chain, organizations need to think about how they can defend against such attacks.

A multiple access channel describes a situation in which multiple senders are trying to forward messages to a single receiver using some physical medium. In this paper we consider scenarios in which this medium consists of just a single classical or quantum particle. In the quantum case, the particle can be prepared in a superposition state thereby allowing for a richer family of encoding strategies. To make the comparison between quantum and classical channels precise, we introduce an operational framework in which all possible encoding strategies consume no more than a single particle. We apply this framework to an $N$-port interferometer experiment in which each party controls a path the particle can traverse. When used for the purpose of communication, this setup embodies a multiple access channel (MAC) built with a single particle. We provide a full characterization of the $N$-party classical MACs that can be built from a single particle, and we show that every non-classical particle can generate a MAC outside the classical set. To further distinguish the capabilities of a single classical and quantum particle, we relax the locality constraint and allow for joint encodings by subsets of ${1lt Kle N}$ parties. This generates a richer family of classical MACs whose polytope dimension we compute. We identify a "generalized fingerprinting inequality'' as a valid facet for this polytope, and we verify that a quantum particle distributed among $N$ separated parties can violate this inequality even when ${K=N-1}$. Connections are drawn between the single-particle framework and multi-level coherence theory. We show that every pure state with $K$-level coherence can be detected in a semi-device independent manner, with the only assumption being conservation of particle number.

SINGAPORE, Feb 14, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Horangi, a leading cloud security solutions and services firm based in Singapore, announced today that its flagship cloud security platform Warden was recently named a High Performer in the G2 Winter Reports across Cloud Security[1], Cloud Data Security[2], and Cloud Compliance[3]. G2 is the world's largest tech marketplace aggregating authentic peer-to-peer reviews serving over 60 million people.

The G2 High Performer award is based on customer reviews, which saw Warden rank as the top Cloud Security Software provider across customer satisfaction metrics such as 'Ease of Doing Business With', the 'Quality of Support Offered', and 'Value for Money'. Warden is also featured in the Top 5 for Cloud Data Security Software and the Small-Business Grid category for Cloud Security Software, having various small tech businesses the likes of Vaultbox and SafeGraph under its belt. In addition, Warden is among the Top 10 for Cloud Compliance Software as it boasts both international and ASEAN-specific compliance standards including ISO 27001, SOC 2, and MAS TRM.

Warden is a human-centric cloud security platform that protects organizations in the public cloud using advanced threat detection and response capabilities. As of today, Warden supports the 5 largest cloud security providers of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud, and Huawei Cloud. This new G2 recognition comes on the heels of Horangi being featured in a Gartner 2021 security report highlighting vendors in the Cloud Identity and Entitlement Management (CIEM) space.

"With high scores rated across features including Compliance Monitoring, Anomaly Detection, and Policy Enforcement from the G2 Winter Report, Horangi is humbled to be recognized by our customers for the impact Warden has had on their infrastructure." said Paul Hadjy, CEO and Co-founder of Horangi. "Horangi is committed to helping our customers succeed at every stage. As cloud security continues to be a top concern for organizations going into 2022, Warden's ease of deployment and threat prioritization capabilities will be key in helping teams navigate the growing cloud adoption."

According to IBM Security, misconfigurations and compromised credentials remain a leading cause of security incidents involving cloud. Horangi recently shared that more than 60% of misconfigurations detected by Warden in 2021 were flagged as critical or high in severity, with the potential to lead to a data breach.

Fresh off its SOC 2 Type II certification, Horangi looks to enhance the advanced security analytics in Warden in 2022. The Singapore-based company plans to add User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) and Identity and Access Management (IAM) Right-sizing, both of which are increasingly critical in helping organizations prevent attacks from stolen credentials and lateral movement within the cloud.
