Email Spoofing: A CISO’s Guide to Combating Impersonation Attacks with Robust Email Authentication

by

Email spoofing is one of the most prevalent cyber threats targeting organisations today. In this type of attack, malicious actors forge the sender’s email address to deceive recipients into believing the email originated from a legitimate source, usually a trusted contact or organisation. This form of deception can result in devastating outcomes, from unauthorised access to sensitive information to financial losses, as recipients are manipulated into divulging credentials, transferring funds, or performing other damaging actions.

DNSSEC Misconfigurations: Safeguarding the Modern Digital Landscape

by

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses, acting as the internet’s address book. DNSSEC is a suite of extensions to DNS that authenticates these translations, ensuring that users connect to legitimate websites rather than to rogue or malicious ones. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that responses to DNS queries have not been altered, effectively protecting against several forms of cyberattacks.

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.

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.
