Most smart medical infusion pumps have known security gaps that make them vulnerable to hackers, according to new research by Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42. Smart infusion pumps are network-connected medication delivery devices that use a combination of computer technology and drug libraries to administer medications and fluids to patients while limiting the potential for dosing errors.  The research team reviewed crowdsourced data from scans of more than 200,000 infusion pumps on the networks of hospitals and other healthcare…

Docker Desktop makes developing applications for Kubernetes easy. It provides a smooth Kubernetes setup experience by hiding the complexity of the installation and wiring with the host. Developers can focus entirely on their work rather than dealing with the Kubernetes setup details.  This blog post covers development use cases and what happens under the hood for each one of them. We analyze how Kubernetes is set up to facilitate the deployment of applications, whether they…

Some 97% of multinational cybersecurity vendors have exposed assets in their AWS environments, many of them classed as high severity issues, according to Reposify.
