RoboCyberWall Aims to Block Linux Server HacksOn Tuesday launched its proprietary precision firewall solution bearing the same name. RoboCyberWall is designed to protect HTTP and HTTPS (SSL) ports on Linux-based Apache2 and NGINX Web servers. The patent-pending firewall blocks all known exploits and zero-day attacks on Apache2 and NGINX Web servers, according to the developer. It is the only firewall designed from the ground up to protect the Linux Apache2 or NGINX Web server's root directory, as well as the document root directory.

Google has reportedly dropped their own Ubuntu version (cleverly titled "Goobuntu", must have taken all night to come up with that name) and switched to Debian for their in house systems. The article also goes into detail about the security of Google's internal systems and if I was in the security class still I'd use this as an article for that class too. Anyway, interesting to see them abandon their own build and go to just straight Debian. 

Toyota has just announced that they are now providing AGL, Automotive Grade Linux, and Amazon Alexa in some of their vehicles.

The article above talks about how linux is starting to see more malware and exploits. Windows is still the biggest target because the OS is used more. It mentions that the Equifax hack was running Apache Struts. More Support and patches are needed for security on Linux. Running updates is recommended.
