Honeytokens act like tripwires, alerting organizations of malicious threats lurking at the footsteps of their sensitive data. They're a very effective intrusion detection system. So effective, in fact, that the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) highly recommends their use in network security. If strategically distributed thought an ecosystem, honeytokens could event prevent supply chain attacks.
Content scrapers are automated bots that steal your content from websites and mobile apps for their own use without permission, usually for malicious purposes. Content scrapers typically copy all the content from a webpage and portray it as their own content. Bots can scrape all of the content on a website in a matter of seconds, even for large websites such as eCommerce sites with thousands of product pages. These bots can scrape public website information such as text, images, HTML and CSS code.

This blog post aims to provide an overview of the state of cyber security in universities and other higher education organisations. Security has been a challenge for a long time at schools, colleges and universities. Aligning ourselves with the glass-half-full attitude, these organisations and institutions have shown good progress with basic security controls. Information security is a prerequisite for various business dealings in the public sector, grant funding and procurement processes.
Although offensive and defensive controls work towards the same goal, how do you ensure red and blue teamwork follow a collaborative approach? The answer is purple teaming. There is a gap between the red team and blue team capabilities in multiple ways i.e. approach, methodology, tool-sets and timelines. Both teams must work collaboratively and constantly to maximise their company’s investment towards ongoing defensive improvements.
There is a common tendency that the typical DAST scanner finds the easiest to locate known security vulnerabilities. If you need to find vulnerabilities that are more difficult to detect – you need the help of security experts. But what if the DAST product could behave more like an automated hacker? The Security Research team at Detectify set themselves up to solve this problem and fundamentally upgrade the way we do fuzzing in our vulnerability scanner, Deep Scan.
Recent years have seen a sharp increase in the number of reported security vulnerabilities, along with quite a few notorious attacks on enterprise applications. Organizations have reacted by increasing their investment in AppSec and DevSecOps, including the widespread adoption of AST (application security testing) tools.
