Business Logic Attacks: A Hidden Threat to C-Suite Leaders

by

At their core, business logic attacks exploit **gaps or errors in the workflows or rules governing an organisation’s operations**. These flaws are not due to programming errors but rather the **misuse of legitimate system features** or **misconfigured processes**. Attackers manipulate these weaknesses to achieve their objectives, such as:

– Circumventing security measures
– Accessing unauthorised data
– Fraudulently acquiring goods or services

Board of Directors and Offensive Security: Navigating Cybersecurity Challenges at the Governance Level

by

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the implementation of offensive security strategies and ensuring that they are effectively managed. This requires a proactive approach to risk management, where the Board plays an active role in setting the tone for cybersecurity governance and ensuring that appropriate resources and expertise are allocated to address identified risks.

Offensive security refers to the proactive approach of identifying vulnerabilities and potential threats within an organisation’s systems and networks. It involves techniques such as vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, malware analysis, cyber forensics, and reverse engineering. The goal is to simulate real-world attacks, uncover weaknesses, and develop strategies to counteract these threats before they are exploited by malicious actors.

Why Cybersecurity Matters for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs): A Guide for C-Suite

One pervasive misconception is that smaller businesses are less likely to attract cybercriminals’ attention. However, data proves otherwise: cybercriminals often see SMBs as easy targets precisely because they may lack the extensive defences of larger enterprises. Small and medium businesses hold valuable data, including customer information, financial records, and intellectual property, making them prime candidates for attacks such as phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise.
