This blog was written by an independent guest blogger Image Source In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we covered the first two steps to better cybersecurity in touchless business solutions, which is to practice extra caution in cashless payment solutions, and to heighten cybersecurity and data protection protocols. We conclude this series by discussing the third step to improve cybersecurity for touchless systems, which is to automate wherever possible through innovative technologies.

This blog was written by a third party author Vulnerability scanning is the process of detecting and classifying potential points of exploitation in network devices, computer systems, and applications. This is done by inspecting the same attack areas used by both internal and external threat actors—such as firewalls, applications, and services that are deployed either internally or externally—to gain unauthorized access to an organization’s network and assets.

Because applications and software vulnerabilities are the most common external point of attack, securing applications is a top priority for most organizations. An essential component for reducing this risk is application security testing (AST). In this blog, we focus on interactive application security testing (IAST), the relative newcomer in the AST market.

A new vulnerability, CVE-2020-8557, has been detected in kubelet. It can be exploited by writing into /etc/hosts to cause a denial of service. The source of the issue is that the /etc/hosts file mounted in a pod by kubelet is not included by the kubelet eviction manager, so it’s not taken into account when calculating ephemeral storage usage by a pod.

A wide range of privacy regulations govern how organizations collect, store and use personally identifiable information (PII). In general, companies need to ensure data confidentiality, avoid data breaches and leaks, and make sure data is not destroyed or altered in unauthorized ways. The consequences of lost or leaked PII data are significant. Of course, the individuals involved can be harmed from resulting identity theft and associated costs.

The goal of every life sciences company is to improve the lives of patients by getting their product to market. To do so often requires successfully completing a clinical trial. It goes without saying, however, that keeping the resulting data secure and compliant is paramount. Restricting access to only those that need it is an essential first step, but there is much more that needs to be done.

Inbox Automation such as forwarding, redirecting, and moving items around can be crucial to many business operations. For example today I was integrating receipt bank, a third party receipt and invoicing system which in turn integrates with our accounting software. Like many respectable third party systems, it supports a robust API for fetching invoices from my suppliers. However it does not do them all and like in many instances, mailbox automation comes in to help.

Gaining more popularity among hackers, man in the middle attacks aims to exploit the real time transfer of data. Keep reading to learn more! When attacking an organization, hackers are focused on being swift and stealthy. In order to successfully infiltrate, steal sensitive information or hurt an organization in various other ways, hackers must be able to go under the radar for a while.

This blog from senior security consultant Jed Kafetz runs through the key information Redscan requires to scope, plan and price a web application penetration test to ensure it delivers the best outcomes and value for money. When reaching out to us for a quotation, providing the most complete and accurate information possible will not only guarantee a quick turnaround time, but will also ensure that we are not under or over scoping the engagement.
