The following command will perform a targeted vulnerability scan against the IPMI service to look for the IPMI Cipher Suite Zero vulnerability: After successfully validating the Cipher Suite Zero vulnerability, it is possible to perform post-exploitation activities to add a user to the IPMI service, thereby establishing a backdoor into the system. To add a user to the system the following IPMI commands can be used: Upon completion you will have successfully established a backdoor into the IPMI service and should be able to SSH into the service as an Administrator. None An attacker remotely shuts down and restarts the system using the IPMI service causing a loss of data or a denial-of-service situation.

A few ways organizations can mature a privacy program: Data minimization Employees must understand data minimization and be able to place it in operation. Using internal identifiers, for example, instead of government identification numbers like Social Security numbers, reduces risk if the data is lost. Over-collection of data may not only result in a privacy incident but potential legal action by federal and state entities, or civil suits, for failure to follow a company’s promise to its customers. Privacy managers should be ready to demonstrate compliance with applicable data privacy laws, reduce risk, build trust and confidence in the brand, and enhance competitive and reputational advantages for the organization.

Something I have learned in over 20+ years of experience in the IT audit realm is simply that “a widget by another name is just a widget and the same or similar controls and security measures need to be applied to these as has been done during past IT security and control type reviews/projects/audits”. With that said, the responsibilities of a cybersecurity professional primarily include helping entities ensure that sensitive data and their associated systems/infrastructure that help process, perform file maintenance, transfer, and store sensitive data maintain their integrity, are kept secure (from attacks or other means), and accessed by only those that have a business reason for such access. ’ confidential, strategic, private, sensitive, and/or personally identifiable information (PII) and then share recommendations/suggestions on how best to satisfy any applicable control objectives associated with such frameworks based upon type and size of the entity. To me, becoming a cybersecurity professional is a critical and important progression step in the IT audit/security profession where we have been identified in the past as Electronic Data Processing (EDP), DP (Data Processing), Information Technology (IT), and Information Systems (IS) Auditors or Security Specialists.
