"First CSRB Report Tackles on Ongoing Log4j Risk"

The Log4j vulnerabilities discovered in 2021 remain a threat to organizations globally. Therefore, the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) issued a set of recommendations aimed at mitigating that risk and emphasizing the need for more funding to support the open source software community. President Biden's Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, directs the public-private initiative, which functions similarly to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The CSRB is responsible for reviewing and evaluating significant cybersecurity events in order to protect US networks and infrastructure. The CSRB's report provides guidance for organizations seeking to mitigate the ongoing impact of Log4j, which includes preparing to address Log4j vulnerabilities, continuing to report observations of Log4j exploitation, investing in capabilities to identify vulnerable systems, implementing a vulnerability response program, and more. The CSRB emphasized a number of basic steps that should be taken to protect against vulnerabilities, such as security testing for vulnerabilities earlier in the development cycle, ensuring that software and operating systems are kept up-to-date and patched, and implementing a multi-layered, defense-in-depth approach. This article continues to discuss CSRB's first report on tackling the ongoing Log4j risk.
