Security teams need Layer 1 visibility to prevent attackers from accessing the enterprise network and moving laterally.

Millions of Tenda, Netgear, Western Digital, TP-Link, D-Link, and EDiMAX end-user routers are being affected by a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in the KCodes NetUSB component, a Linux kernel module allowing local network-connected devices to offer USB-based services.

Here's the concept: Replace the traditional operating system with a relational database, "built on bare metal" said MIT's Michael Coden, with applications input as stored procedures. The result just may be improved resiliency, with faster detection of and recovery from cyber incidents. Now the team just needs more companies to raise their hands and give the prototype a try.
