Cryptographic Failures: Understanding Risks, Implications, and Mitigations for the C-Suite

by

Cryptography is the science of securing information and communications by encoding data so that only authorised parties can access it. Cryptographic mechanisms underpin various corporate processes, from securing customer data and enabling secure transactions to protecting intellectual property and ensuring secure internal communications. As businesses digitise their operations, cryptography becomes a cornerstone of data protection and regulatory compliance.

Cryptographic failures occur when encryption mechanisms fail to secure data as intended. This can happen due to flaws in cryptographic protocols, poor implementation, or the use of obsolete algorithms.

Broken Access Control: A Silent Threat to Your Business

by

Access control is the process of defining who can access what resources and under what conditions. When these controls are not properly implemented or enforced, it leads to Broken Access Control. This vulnerability allows unauthorised individuals to access sensitive data, modify critical systems, or even take complete control of the infrastructure.

Certificate Transparency Abuse: Navigating the Risks and Safeguarding Your Organisation

by

Certificate Transparency is a system designed to provide an open framework for monitoring, auditing, and enforcing the issuance of digital certificates. Introduced by Google in 2013, CT aims to combat the issuance of fraudulent certificates by creating publicly accessible logs that record all certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs). These logs can be monitored by anyone, allowing for greater accountability and transparency in the PKI ecosystem.

Securing Virtualised Environments: Understanding and Mitigating Live Migration Attacks

by

Live migration attacks target the transmission of VM data, exploiting vulnerabilities in the migration protocols or hypervisor configurations. Attackers can gain unauthorised access to VMs, inject malicious code, or disrupt the VM’s operation by interfering with the live migration traffic. These attacks can result in severe operational disruption, data breaches, and the compromise of VM images that contain confidential data.
