La seguridad de la información es una preocupación creciente en empresas y organizaciones, siendo más alta aun cuando se vincula a plataformas financieras donde existe información sensible. Este artículo resume las técnicas utilizadas en el pentesting realizado al software ERP desarrollado en APEX 5 por la Universidad del Azuay; para ello se han contemplado seis etapas que sugiere una prueba de penetración: i) la conceptualización, donde se define el alcance de las pruebas a realizar; ii) la preparación del laboratorio, en la que se identifican algunas de las herramientas que servirán para el inicio de las pruebas de seguridad; iii) la obtención de información, donde se hace el reconocimiento y escaneo de posibles objetivos que posteriormente serán explorados con mayor profundidad para identificar características intrínsecas que puedan ser aprovechadas; iv) el análisis de las vulnerabilidades encontradas en la etapa anterior; v) la explotación de vulnerabilidades; y vi) la post explotación, etapa que contempla la destrucción de evidencias del ataque y la conservación de la conexión y los accesos logrados para extraer información. Todas estas etapas fueron efectuadas dentro de las instalaciones de la Universidad del Azuay, considerando el ambiente de desarrollo en el que actualmente se encuentra este software.
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects pigs and wild boars. The disease can cause significant economic losses in the pig industry and poses a threat to food security. Therefore, it is crucial to have effective surveillance programs to detect and control the disease. The study mentioned above aimed to compare three commercial ELISA kits for the detection of CSF antibodies. The results showed that all three kits had 100% congruence in undiluted samples, indicating that they are highly reliable for use as a screening test on routine samples. Additionally, the study found good reproducibility between technicians with no significant influence on the variation of results. However, the study also identified a low consistency of positive results (37.7%) for the kit IDvet Screen E2 in diluted samples, with significant variations in results from all three kits. This finding suggests that the other two kits, Herdchek E2 and Priocheck E2, may be better suited for detecting animals with low levels of antibodies, allowing for earlier detection of infected animals and the implementation of relevant control measures. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the importance of using high-quality commercial ELISA kits for the surveillance of CSF. The findings suggest that any of the three kits tested could be used as a reliable screening test on routine samples. However, for the detection of animals with low levels of antibodies, the Herdchek E2 and Priocheck E2 kits may be more effective
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
