The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is bridging the gap between private companies and government agencies via the newly formed Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB). « The CSRB will review and assess significant cybersecurity events so that government, industry, and the broader security community can better protect our nation’s networks and infrastructure, » DHS says, starting with a report on the vulnerabilities discovered in the Log4j library in 2021. Log4j is a nigh-ubiquitous Java library, which means the vulnerabilities disclosed in late 2021 could be exploited to enable remote code execution on countless servers. Microsoft said in December that state-sponsored hackers and criminals alike were starting to exploit these flaws.
