Application security is particularly important in the banking and financial technology sector, where a single breach can put large portions of sensitive information at risk. How to manage that risk is a complex process that affects how teams secure applications across their software supply chain.
Everything started when I was researching Windows containers. It required installing Docker Desktop for Windows, and I couldn’t help but notice that there were many Docker processes. Since some of the processes were privileged, the communication between them is of particular interest, which led me to explore further. I found the processes were using named pipes for communication, and one of them was a way to forward API calls from a low-privileged user to a privileged service.
It wasn’t too long ago that using a single cloud for some business operations was cutting-edge technology. Now the cloud is essential for accelerating growth, improving efficiency and remaining competitive. Most organizations have multiple cloud environments deployed, in addition to private cloud and on-premises environments. In fact, in a soon-to-release CyberArk survey, 85% of respondents said they would be using three or more cloud service providers by 2023.
Just-in-time (JIT) access is a cybersecurity feature where users, applications, or systems are granted access to resources only when needed and for a limited time. This approach limits the risk of privileged accounts gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data. JIT access is often used in conjunction with other security measures—such as multi-factor authentication and encryption—to provide a strong, layered defense against threats.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the financial services industry, known as fintech. From improving customer experience to reducing operational costs and mitigating risks, AI is having a significant impact on fintech. In this blog, we will explore the top 10 ways AI is being used in fintech.
Fintech as a Service (FaaS) is a business model that enables companies to outsource financial technology (fintech) services to a third-party provider. This model provides companies with a more flexible and cost-effective way to access fintech services and improve their financial operations. Let’s explore the concept of Fintech as a Service and the impact of API solutions on Fintechs.
Web application security is a growing concern for organizations of all sizes. As businesses increasingly rely on web-based applications, they become more vulnerable to malicious actors who can exploit weaknesses in their systems. As a result, it’s important for organizations to understand the common threats to web app security and how to protect themselves from them. How often do you stop and think about the security of your web applications?
