We are constantly researching ways to improve our products. For the Web Application Firewall (WAF), the goal is simple: keep customer web applications safe by building the best solution available on the market. In this blog post we talk about our approach and ongoing research into detecting novel web attack vectors in our WAF before they are seen by a security researcher. If you are interested in learning about our secret sauce, read on.
The complexity of technology is ever-increasing and the number of breaches (and the cost of dealing with them) is growing right along with it. Governments are cracking down and turning cybersecurity from nice to have to absolutely mandatory. In response, organizations across industries are taking a more serious look at their security posture and, with that, the need to perform thorough vulnerability assessments.
This month, Apple Security Engineering and Architecture (SEA) and The Citizen Lab at The University of Toronto's Munk School opened a pair of Critical vulnerabilities relating to maliciously formed WebP images which could be used to exploit the Chrome browser, as well as the webmproject/libwebp library from Google. As of Sep 27th, 2023, the CVEs known to track this libwebp vulnerability actively include.
In the digital age, Android vulnerability scanners, or as some may call them, android app vulnerability scanners, have become an essential tool for maintaining the security of mobile applications. Given Android’s substantial mobile OS market share, it’s a prime target for cyber threats.
By now, we’re all painfully aware that AI has become a crucial and inevitable tool for developers to enhance their application development practices.
