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.

A website vulnerability refers to a weakness or misconfiguration in the design, implementation, or operation of a website that can be exploited by attackers to compromise its integrity, availability, or confidentiality. These vulnerabilities can exist in various components of a website, including its code, server configuration, database, and third-party plugins or extensions.
Are penetration testing and ethical hacking just two sides of the same coin? Although they seem similar and are often used interchangeably, is there a difference between the two? Let’s explore this further to uncover any nuances between them.
Serialization is the process of converting data structures or object states into a format that can be easily stored, transmitted, or reconstructed later. While serialization facilitates data maintenance and communication between different systems, it also introduces security risks. Serialization attacks exploit vulnerabilities in the serialization process to manipulate data, execute arbitrary code, or gain unauthorized access to systems.
Clickjacking, also known as UI redress attack or user interface (UI) manipulation, is a malicious technique used to trick users into clicking on elements of a web page without their knowledge or consent.
