In 2021, Amazon suffered a financial setback of around $34 million due to a one-hour system outage that led to a considerable loss in sales. Meta suffered a loss of nearly $100M because of Facebook’s 2021 outage. The consequences of downtime can be severe, and businesses of all sizes and governments can be affected. A DDoS attack can bring a business to a complete standstill for hours, leading to a substantial loss in revenue.
We’re excited to announce that Indusface has once again been recognized as a 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Cloud Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) for three consecutive years. What’s more, with a rating of 4.9, Indusface is the highest-rated WAAP and the only vendor to achieve a 100% customer recommendation rating, as reviewed by 102 large enterprises and midsize businesses worldwide.
Web applications are crucial for business growth but are often targeted by cyber attackers. In 2023 alone, over 6.8 billion attacks were blocked across 1400 web applications, underscoring the growing threat. One mitigation measure to shield your business’s critical websites and applications is blocking malicious traffic with a WAF or a WAAP, as what the category is called now. Deploying Cloud WAF is just the beginning. To achieve top-notch security, a managed solution is essential.
Vulnerabilities are everywhere and often exploited. For example, in 2023, over 29,000 critical and high vulnerabilities were discovered across approximately 1,400 applications. The dynamic and evolving attack surfaces make it harder to protect against these threats. When the attack surface gets bigger, so does the risk of cyber attacks. This blog delves into what an attack surface is and recommends best practices in attack surface reduction.
As data breaches continue to rise, businesses face significant financial losses. The recent $350 million loss incurred by T-Mobile underscores the urgency of addressing data theft. Despite these challenges, many companies overlook data privacy, extending the risk of further breaches. In this article, we explore why data privacy is crucial for businesses, and address important data privacy questions you should be asking now.

If you are building an API, you are most likely evaluating the pros and cons of available technologies. Sooner or later, you will surely come across NodeJS. NodeJS helps to create stable, scalable, and backward-compatible APIs. Besides the functionalities, you can’t overlook the security risk that comes with them. Misconfigured, insecure APIs leave your companies with high-profile cyber-attacks. Like any APIs, those developed with NodeJS come with security threats.

With DDoS attacks on the rise—surpassing 4.25 billion in 2023—the right protection is crucial. Costly downtime—$6,130/minute—underscores the urgency. These attacks are getting more sophisticated, especially those that target the application layer. They’re hard to spot because they look like normal traffic and can seriously mess up a company’s operations and finances.

CVSS score is valuable for assessing open vulnerability risk. However, despite the obvious difference in risk, CVSS scores overlook the distinction between vulnerabilities in staging versus production. This issue compounds with factors such as the number and types of applications, vulnerability types, and zero-day threats. Ultimately, leading to Alert Fatigue that helps no one as security teams need to triage 100s of vulnerabilities.

Account takeover attacks have increased by 354% y-o-y in 2023. What’s worse? It takes 11 months to solve an ATO breach. By that time, attackers would have laterally traversed your entire digital infrastructure, including databases. So, how do you protect your organisations against sophisticated ATO attacks that even bypass 2FA? In this live attack simulation, Karthik Krishnamoorthy (CTO) and Vivekanand Gopalan (VP of Products) demonstrate various ways in which account takeover can happen, along with practices to protect your websites and APIs against ATO attacks.

SOC 2, ISO270001, PCI, and other regional laws require you to have a clean, zero-vulnerability report. That said, even critical vulnerabilities take 250+ days to patch, especially when these exist in third-party plug-ins, open-source libraries, or legacy code. Compounding the problem are zero-day vulnerabilities like the MOVEit SQLi, Zimbra XSS, and 300+ such vulnerabilities that get discovered each month.
