New NSA Report: This is How You Should Be Securing Your Network

America's National Security Agency (NSA) released a new report "that gives all organizations the most current advice on how to protect their IT network infrastructures from cyberattacks," writes ZDNet:NSA's report 'Cybersecurity Technical Report (CTR): Network Infrastructure Security Guidance' is available freely for all network admins and CIOs to bolster their networks from state-sponsored and criminal cyberattacks. The report covers network design, device passwords and password management, remote logging and administration, security updates, key exchange algorithms, and important protocols such as Network Time Protocol, SSH, HTTP, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is encouraging tech leaders to view the NSA document as part of its new push for all organizations in the US and elsewhere to raise defenses after the recent disk wiper malware targeting Ukrainian organizations. The document, from NSA's cybersecurity directorate, encourages the adoption of 'zero trust' networks.... The new report follows NSA's guidance to help people and organizations choose virtual private networks (VPN). VPN hardware for securing connections between remote workers to corporate networks became a prime target during the pandemic. Thanks to long-time Slashdot reader Klaxton for sharing the link!
