The OWASP Top 10 (2021): Cryptographic Failures

by

Cryptographic failures occur when sensitive data is not adequately protected during storage, transit, or processing. These failures can arise from the use of outdated encryption algorithms, insecure storage of cryptographic keys, or improper implementation of encryption protocols. The vulnerabilities often stem from either a lack of awareness or neglect of best practices, leaving data exposed to unauthorised access. In the digital age, protecting sensitive data is not optional—it is a business imperative. Cryptographic failures are not merely technical flaws; they carry significant financial, legal, and reputational risks. By adhering to best practices, leveraging modern tools, and staying informed about evolving threats, software developers can safeguard data against adversaries and ensure compliance with stringent regulatory standards.

Camfecting: The Growing Threat to Privacy and Business Security

by

Camfecting is the unauthorised access and control of a victim’s webcam or camera-enabled device by cybercriminals. Through the use of malicious software, hackers can activate a device’s camera without the user’s knowledge, allowing them to spy on individuals or record confidential business meetings. This form of attack is especially concerning as it is often difficult to detect and can be used for a range of nefarious purposes, including:

Router Exploitation: Safeguarding Your Network Infrastructure from Threats

by

Router exploitation involves attackers compromising network routers to gain unauthorised access, intercept sensitive communications, or exploit connected devices. Routers are the gateways to internal networks, making them prime targets for cybercriminals seeking to breach security perimeters. Once exploited, they can allow hackers to:

Intercept and manipulate traffic: Attackers can spy on or alter data being transmitted across your network, including sensitive information such as passwords, financial transactions, and proprietary business data.

Launch further attacks: Compromised routers can serve as platforms for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks or enable the installation of malware across connected devices.

Steal login credentials: Man-in-the-middle attacks through routers can capture usernames, passwords, and encryption keys, allowing hackers to gain deeper access to corporate systems.

Securing the Supply Chain: A C-Suite Imperative for Minimising Risk and Maximising ROSI

by

In today’s interconnected world, your organisation’s success hinges on your cybersecurity posture and the resilience of your entire supply chain. A seemingly innocuous breach at a third-party vendor can become a backdoor into your critical systems, exposing sensitive data, disrupting operations, and eroding customer trust. This is why securing the supply chain is not just a matter of IT and Information Security but a strategic imperative for every C-Suite executive.
