Biometric Spoofing: A Growing Threat to Cyber Security

by

In today’s cyber age, biometric authentication has emerged as an easy way to verify ID. By leveraging unique human characteristics such as Iris, palm prints, and facial patterns, it can provide a more authentic alternative to traditional passphrase-based authentication. However, as biometric technology advances, so do its associated threats. One of the biometric systems’ most significant challenges is the risk of spoofing or presentation attacks.

Biometric or presentation spoofing involves using fake biometric details to double-cross the authentication systems. By presenting a counterfeit biometric sample, an attacker can evade security measures and gain unauthorised access to sensitive information or resources. The prevalence of biometric spoofing has increased in recent years, making it a critical concern for organisations of all sizes, particularly those that rely heavily on biometric technology for security.

Logic Bombs: A Silent Threat to C-Level Executives

by

In cyber warfare, where the lines between offence and defence constantly blur, a particularly insidious threat looms large: the logic bomb. These malicious code snippets, embedded within legitimate applications, scripts, or systems, are designed to unleash destructive payloads under specific conditions or triggers. For C-level executives responsible for their organisation’s security and reputation, understanding the nature, implications, and countermeasures of logic bombs is paramount.

A logic bomb is a time bomb waiting to go off within a computer system. Code remains dormant until a predetermined condition matches, such as a specific date, time, event, or data input. Once the trigger is pulled, the bomb explodes, executing its malicious payload, which can range from data deletion or corruption to system shutdown or network sabotage.
