Santa Clara, California- (Dec 14 ,2021)- Uila Inc., the Full-Stack Observability company, today announced that its Observability Platform, is now able to automatically detect, classify and alert users to the critical zero-day vulnerability in the Apache Log4j logging utility, identify remote code execution attempts for the vulnerability and as always provide full-stack visibility into the performance of those critical applications in the infrastructure. With this latest update, Uila users can be protected from this vulnerability and be alerted to any attempts made against their organization.
Last week, a previously unknown zero-day vulnerability in the Apache Log4j library was reported. Any organization that deploys or uses Java applications or hardware running Log4j is impacted by this vulnerability. This vulnerability termed as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) is a remote code execution vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit it on one of the servers, and gain the ability to execute specially crafted code and potentially take full control of the system.
“In this next normal, more than ever before, securing critical applications and systems is top of mind for every organization. This zero-day vulnerability just shows how a single vulnerability can impact operations of millions of organizations worldwide.” says Chia-Chee Kuan, CEO and Founder for Uila. “As organizations race to re-configure and patch their systems, it is equally important to identify any malicious attempts made by attackers who are trying to exploit it. Security tools used by any enterprise organization must counter these vulnerabilities with its own zero-day detection capabilities to identify it, in a timely manner, before any impact to the organization’s revenue and reputation. With Uila, you not only are you alerted to this vulnerability, but most importantly get visibility into the entire application and infrastructure stack to ensure that everything is operating at its optimum performance level.”
Uila’s add-on Cyber Threat Monitoring module provides Real-time Detection for thousands of Advanced and Persistent threats including the log4j vulnerability and other Malware, Exploit Kits, Webshells, Port Scans, SMB Probes, Obfuscation, OS fingerprinting, etc. Uila employs multiple industry premier signature, behavior and anomaly-based databases to identify those threats and vulnerabilities, and has the built-in mechanism to automatically get the latest threat updates from these databases, including this latest log4Shell vulnerability.
