The OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks – 2023: API8:2023 – Security Misconfiguration

by

At its core, **security misconfiguration** occurs when the security settings of an API or its supporting systems are improperly configured or left at their default settings. APIs often rely on a wide range of underlying infrastructure, including web servers, databases, cloud services, and identity management systems. Each of these elements needs to be configured in line with security best practices to ensure the overall security posture of the API.

Misconfigurations can arise at any stage in the API lifecycle, from development to deployment, and they are not limited to a single type of vulnerability. They may involve poorly configured authentication mechanisms, incorrect access control settings, or vulnerabilities in third-party services integrated into the API 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.

Car Hacking: Understanding the Threat to Modern Vehicles and How to Mitigate Risks for High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs)

by

As vehicles become increasingly interconnected and rely on complex computer systems, they have also become a target for a growing threat—car hacking. Car hacking involves the exploitation of vulnerabilities in a vehicle’s electronic control units (ECUs) or onboard computer systems, allowing unauthorised access and manipulation of key vehicle functions. For high net-worth individuals (HNIs), whose lifestyles often include owning luxury and technologically advanced vehicles, the threat of car hacking is particularly concerning. The risks are not just financial; they extend to personal safety and privacy.

Protecting Your Business from Zero-Click Exploits: Essential Tactics for CISOs

by

Zero-click exploits present a complex challenge for chief information security officers (CISOs). Their silent and seamless nature makes detection and prevention difficult. Yet, given the severe consequences of successful zero-click exploitation, ranging from intellectual property theft to operational disruption, it is critical for CISOs to stay informed and proactive in their security strategies.

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Evasion: A Critical Threat to MSMEs

by

DPI is a sophisticated technique network administrators employ to examine the data content within network packets. It’s instrumental in detecting and preventing malicious activities such as malware, spam, and unauthorised access. However, cybercriminals have adapted and developed countermeasures to bypass DPI, a phenomenon known as DPI evasion.
