How Vulnerability Can Make You a Victim on Valentine's Day

According to Netskope’s recent “Year in Review” Cloud and Threat Report, the most common way cyber attackers gained access to organisations in 2023 was through social engineering. While a favourite tactic of cyber criminals, at its heart, social engineering isn’t about someone breaking code while hunched over a glowing keyboard. It relies on individual human vulnerability, tricking people into opening the door for the attacker to walk through.

What is XML External Entity, How to Find XXE Vulnerabilities and Patch Them

An XXE vulnerability is a security vulnerability that allows attackers to access sensitive data or execute malicious code in a web application. This happens when the application accepts XML input from an untrusted source and doesn’t properly validate it. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a special XML input that includes a reference to an external resource (like a file or URL) that they control.

Reporting AppSec risk up to your CISO

For security leaders, building a strong working relationship with your CISO often comes down to your ability to provide clear reports and concise risk summaries. Your reports allow CISOs to perform a vital responsibility of their role: translating highly technical security jargon into actionable recommendations that will reduce risk and improve security maturity across the organization. And in the case of a breach or zero-day event, CISOs may be the bearer of bad news.

Teleport Starts Issuing CVEs

Teleport is an open source company. We develop in the open, including full disclosure of security issues in our changelogs and pull requests. We share our penetration tests and key compliance reports. Despite this, our communication to open source users and integration with automated security tooling needed improvement. We needed a standardized way to refer to our vulnerabilities so that when two people (or systems) talk about a vulnerability, they know they’re talking about the same thing.

Are Your Vulnerable Systems Pets or Cattle?

Vulnerability remediation is no small feat – especially if your security and remediation teams are understaffed and overwhelmed. Because vulnerabilities extend across the code, cloud, and infrastructure in your attack surface, and can vary drastically in their criticality, location, type, or affected systems, one-size-fits-all approaches are rarely the answer.

Analyzing common vulnerabilities introduced by Code-Generative AI

Artificial Intelligence tools such as Bard, ChatGPT, and Bing Chat are the current big names in the Large Language Model (LLM) category which is on the rise. LLMs are trained on vast data sets to be able to communicate by using everyday human language as a chat prompt. Given the flexibility and potential of LLMs, companies are integrating them into many workflows inside the tech industry to make our lives better and easier.

How to master pen testing in an agile environment

Problems arise when teams are too siloed. In the past, organizations ran into trouble when Development teams would hand over finished code with security problems to IT Operations to deploy and manage. They realized it was faster and more effective to work together throughout the product lifecycle in a DevOps model, picking up on issues and resolving them as they went in an agile way of working.

CVSS 4.0 is Here: How to Make the Most of It

The CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) is a widely used standard that produces a score between 0 and 10 to indicate the level of severity of a vulnerability.
