Security testing aims to find vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in the software/ application. By subjecting the software or application to controlled security scenarios, cyber security testing ensures that the system is adequately prepared to withstand attacks and unforeseen failures. Security experts and testers use different types of security testing to identify potential threats, measure the probability of exploitation of vulnerabilities, and gauge the overall risks facing the software/ app.
A reverse proxy is a server that sits between the client and the origin server. It accepts requests from clients and forwards them to the appropriate server. It also receives responses from the server and sends them back to the client. A reverse proxy is an essential component of web application infrastructure, providing a layer of abstraction between clients and origin servers to help optimize traffic routing and improve performance and security.

Compliance is a critical concern for businesses today, but navigating the rules can be overwhelming. With regulations constantly evolving, many organizations struggle to keep up. I had the opportunity to participate in a recent virtual panel with Ashish Tandon, Founder & CEO of Indusface. Over the years, I have consulted with multiple large enterprises across geographies and industries. Below are the top challenges that they face as far as compliance is concerned.

A new series of vulnerabilities in the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) threatens numerous Linux systems, potentially allowing remote code execution (RCE). This affects a wide range of platforms, including Debian, Red Hat, SUSE and macOS. The vulnerabilities—tracked as CVE-2024-47176, CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, and CVE-2024-47177—are believed to endanger over 76,000 devices, with estimates suggesting up to 300,000 could be affected.
A zero-day flaw in MOVEit software exposed the data of 66.4 million individuals, revealing businesses are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Applications, which manage sensitive data, are prime targets for these threats. Compliance regulations recognize the risks and establish guidelines aimed at ensuring applications meet data protection, privacy, and overall security. PCI DSS v4.0 for example introduces 64 new requirements including strict security measures to protect public-facing applications.

A high severity OS command injection vulnerability, CVE-2024-8190, has been found in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) versions 4.6 Patch 518 and earlier. This flaw allows attackers with admin access to remotely execute malicious commands, potentially taking full control of the system. Ivanti has already released updates, but this command injection vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, making immediate action critical.
The State of Application Security report shows that over 2.37 billion attacks were blocked on AppTrana WAAP from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Attacks targeting vulnerabilities surged by 1,200% in Q2 2024 compared to last year, an alarming fact. This sharp rise highlights that vulnerabilities are the prime target. Moreover, they are now easily exploitable thanks to readily available scripts on known vulnerabilities. This could be because of rapid adoption of AI and LLM models even among hackers.

A critical security flaw has been discovered in SPIP, a popular open-source content management system (CMS). This flaw, identified as CVE-2024-8517, stems from a command injection issue in the BigUp plugin. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands remotely and without authentication, simply by sending a malicious multipart file upload HTTP request. This blog will explore the details of this vulnerability, its potential impacts, and the essential steps for mitigation.
Websites rely heavily on client-side code to deliver interactive user experiences. Unlike server-side code, which is protected within an organization’s infrastructure, client-side code runs in the user’s browser and is exposed to various risks such as data theft and JS injection. Recognizing the unique challenges of securing client-side code, OWASP has created a dedicated Top 10 list for client-side security risks.
All it takes is a single unpatched vulnerability to breach security and gain access to a company’s mission-critical assets. Effective vulnerability management is essential for strong cybersecurity. Vulnerability scans play a key role in this process, offering a clear view of the entire IT infrastructure and identifying existing vulnerabilities. How many times should we run scans? Are we scanning often enough? These are the questions we often get.

Overview: Picture this: Your website included a 3rdparty component (such as a WordPress plug-in), and hackers used that as a backdoor to infiltrate your systems, which were secure on their own. This is a supply chain attack. Pollyfillio attack is a recent example of this where 100,000 websites were impacted last month. In this webinar, Vivekanand Gopalan (VP of Products - Indusface) and Phani Deepak Akella (VP of Marketing - Indusface) discuss strategy and tactics to protect your applications from supply chain attacks.

Execution of malicious scripts was responsible for 52% of 75,000 cyber incidents. These scripts are typically used to harvest data from customer-facing websites and APIs. 60%+ such attacks target SMEs. An alarming situation when you consider the limited resource and tool budgets allocated for website and API security. A managed, enterprise-class application security offering with 24x7 SOC is, therefore, the need of the hour for SMBs.

Million+ unique IPs hit your web or API server with one or two requests per minute. Default rate-limits fail immediately, and your server is down. 50% of the DDoS attacks employ botnets for launching such attacks. In this live attack simulation, join Karthik Krishnamoorthy (CTO of Indusface) and Vivek Gopalan (VP of Products of Indusface), as they demonstrate advanced AI-powered DDoS mitigation while minimizing false positive blocks.

Overview: According to TechTarget, 94% of organizations experience security problems in production APIs, and one in five suffers a data breach. The primary reason is that most tech leaders assume that having a strong authentication and authorisation framework is enough to secure APIs. As a result, cyberattacks on APIs increased from 35% in 2022 to 46% in 2023, and this trend continues to rise. Join Karthik Krishnamoorthy, CTO and Vivekanand Gopalan Gopalan, VP of Products at Indusface, in this webinar as they demonstrate how APIs can be hacked.

Overview: Periodic security audits and compliance requirements have been a major source of stress for IT and security leaders. Especially as they demand a clean, zero-vulnerability report every 6-12 months in highly regulated industries. That is a big challenge in the face of hundreds of open vulnerabilities and zero-days. With this in mind, we have launched, SwyftComply on AppTrana WAAP. With SwyftComply, you’ll be able to get a clean, zero-vulnerability report within 72 hours.

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.
