C# OWASP Top 10: How to Discover Vulnerabilities in a C# Web Application In this article, you’ll learn the top 10 security issues in web applications, as defined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP Top 10 – 2017). For each issue, you...
Many applications provide a services layer (to other applications, to a presentation layer, etc.). Or, they consume services exposed by third-parties (not necessarily trusted). A REST model is a simple, widely-used way for designing such service layers. This ...
Legacy “business-oriented” languages present unique challenges for software security. Unfortunately, there is a lack of awareness about the security risks of these languages. In this post, we will focus on the security vulnerabilities inherent in busin...
As new technologies and big data deliver previously unimagined connections and conveniences, the shadow side of cyber threats is also growing. Cybercriminals can scale to unprecedented levels using artificial intelligence (AI) and launch sophisticated attacks...
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a software and hardware weaknesses classification system. It’s an extension of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) list compiled by MITRE. This federally funded, non-profit organization manages research and deve...
As the cybersecurity landscape becomes increasingly complex, it’s essential for organizations to stay informed about the tactics most likely to be used against them. In 2023, SQL injection attacks accounted for 23% of all critical web application vulner...
Source code vulnerabilities are one of the central openings that allow threat actors to carry out their cyberattacks. From code injection to denial of service (DOS) attacks, hackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to access users’ information. They ma...
Cybercrime is an ever-evolving world of constant change as cybercriminals continue to develop increasingly dangerous and sophisticated attacks. In particular, data breaches plagued dozens of well-known organizations around the world in 2018, with the single l...
Improving the security of your application development lifecycle provides users with a better experience while preventing data breaches, and it starts with security testing. The last thing any company wants is to get that dreaded warning that someone’s ...
SAST (also called “white box testing”) is the basic form of security testing for application development. It involves examining the actual uncompiled application source code to see if and where security vulnerabilities exist. This form of security testing is ...
Application security is no longer an afterthought. Developers now prioritize security due to the exponential risk of cybercrime. Developers need to pay more attention to security as it is a crucial aspect of app development. Application security solutions lik...
With data protection and consumer privacy regulations rapidly expanding, and AI regulations gathering on the horizon, taking a comprehensive and strict approach to cybersecurity is no longer optional. To comply, organizations are adopting a DevSecOps approach...
