SaaS adoption has skyrocketed, offering organizations undeniable advantages. But beneath the surface lurk overlooked configuration errors. Misconfigured SaaS settings create security gaps. Broad permissions, weak defaults, and forgotten accounts jeopardize your security. These issues act as open doors for breaches and unauthorized access. The sheer scale of the problem is staggering – 70% of company software now resides in the cloud.

A new string of multi-factor authentication (MFA) attacks targeting the reset of Apple IDs seem to be popping up in a likely attempt to steal the victim’s digital identity and more. A recent post on Twitter/X from entrepreneur Parth Patel outlines his experience when his phone became inundated with requests to reset his Apple ID password – to the tune of over 100.

Let’s catch up on the more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news gathered from articles across the web this week. This is what we have been reading about on our coffee break! You take a long bank holiday weekend and the (Linux) world falls apart. Ouch.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the importance of low code security cannot be overstated. As organizations increasingly rely on low code development platforms to accelerate application and software development, it is crucial to understand the significance of robust security measures.

Google has issued a security advisory to owners of its Android Pixel smartphones, warning that it has discovered someone has been targeting some devices to bypass their built-in security. What makes the reported attacks particularly interesting is that traditional cybercriminals may not be behind them, but rather "forensic companies" exploiting two vulnerabilities to extract information and prevent remote wiping.

An attack vector, also known as a threat vector, is a way for cybercriminals to gain access to an organization’s network or system. Some common types of attack vectors that organizations need to defend against include weak and compromised credentials, social engineering attacks, insider threats, unpatched software, lack of encryption and misconfigurations. Organizations must identify all of the potential attack vectors and protect their network against them to avoid security breaches.

Let’s not waste time. You’re here because you’re building a webhook feature in your app. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things that can go wrong from a security perspective. This article aims to ensure that you’re not making any well-known mistakes while building webhooks.

At a time when the cloud estate of organizations is expanding faster than ever, the attack surface is becoming harder to monitor. This blog post aims to demystify attack surface discovery. We’ll explore what it involves, why it’s important, and how it fits into securing your digital assets. By the end, you’ll understand why a nuanced approach to attack surface discovery isn’t just beneficial; it’s essential for staying a step ahead against today’s sophisticated threats.

Security and compliance – a phrase often uttered in the same breath as if they are two sides of the same coin, two members of the same team, or two great tastes that go great together. As much as I would like to see auditors, developers, and security analysts living in harmony like a delicious Reese’s cup, a recent gap analysis that I was part of reminded me that too often, the peanut butter and chocolate sit alone on their own separate shelves.
