What is a Cloud Hardware Security Module? How to Choose the Right Cloud HSM?

Everyone and everything is available on the internet in today’s Digital Era. Nowadays, finding security and privacy of data might be tough. Having a security module is critical for this, but how do you choose and identify the proper security module? According to one IBM analysis, the average cost of a data breach in 2023 was $4.45 million, the highest amount on record. Human error is responsible for 74% of cybersecurity breaches mentioned in the Verizon report. Remember, your data is precious.

VPN Security Concerns

Many organizations use virtual private networks (VPNs) to extend secure access to remote employees. A VPN creates a secure connection between two networks over the public internet, creating a level of online privacy for remote workers. A VPN internet connection will route your web traffic through an encrypted tunnel (even when using public wi-fi), protecting business sensitive data from interception. VPNs require authentication, which can help maintain your network security.

PCI DSS Compliance - Meeting the Third-Party Vendor Requirements

Today, almost every organization is engaged with a third-party vendor at some level when offering products or services. Take, for instance, an e-commerce business that may not be able to function properly unless multiple third-party integrations are involved, such as CRMs, payment gateways, live chat APIs, or a shipping gateway, to name a few.

Outsmarting PayPal Scammers to Keep Your Cash Safe

Physical Address Strangeness in Spam

Ten years ago, Congress passed the "CAN-SPAM Act" (also known as theYou-CAN-SPAM Act, since it defined legal spam and supersedes any stricter state-antispam laws). One of the provisions of the act is that there must be a legitimate physical address in the email. Spammers have long tried different tactics to get around this.

Benefits of Penetration Testing as a Service

Our Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) advocates a continuous cycle of testing and remediation. It suggests that your security posture is always changing so in order to combat this moving target there must be an on-going program of testing, remediation and management. The Penetration Testing Methodology understands that there is a need to test and check the entire platform stack.

Preventing server-side request forgery in Node.js applications

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a common vulnerability that can crop up unknowingly in any Node.js application. It poses a significant threat because attackers can manipulate a server into making unintended requests to both internal and external resources. This article will explore SSRF, its potential risks, and the strategies to mitigate SSRF in Node.js applications.

The Hacker's Guide to The Cosmos (SDK): Stealing Millions from the Blockchain

Welcome, fellow travelers of the Cosmos! While we may not be traversing the stars on a spaceship, we are all interconnected through the powerful network of blockchains. Unfortunately, just like any technology, vulnerabilities can be discovered and exploited. In this post, we’ll present a critical vulnerability in a Cosmos-SDK blockchain that is explicitly related to the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).
