External IP Addresses to Include in Pentest: Best Practices for Security Testing

Carrying out a pentest correctly is important for finding and fixing security holes in a company. Including useful external IP addresses is an important part of pentesting. Hackers can get into a company's network and possibly take advantage of vulnerabilities by using these addresses as entry points. Companies can make sure their pentests are thorough and useful by carefully choosing and ranking which external IP addresses to test.

CIS Control 16 Application Software Security

The way in which we interact with applications has changed dramatically over the years. Enterprises use applications in day-to-day operations to manage their most sensitive data and control access to system resources. Instead of traversing a labyrinth of networks and systems, attackers today see an opening to turn an organization's application against it to bypass network security controls and compromise sensitive data.

LLM Prompt Injection 101

Prompt injection attacks exploit vulnerabilities in natural language processing (NLP) models by manipulating the input to influence the model’s behavior. Common prompt injection attack patterns include: 1. Direct Command Injection: Crafting inputs that directly give the model a command, attempting to hijack the intended instruction. 2. Instruction Reversal: Adding instructions that tell the model to ignore or reverse previous commands. 3.

Training a million models per day to save customers of all sizes from DDoS attacks

Our always-on DDoS protection runs inside every server across our global network. It constantly analyzes incoming traffic, looking for signals associated with previously identified DDoS attacks. We dynamically create fingerprints to flag malicious traffic, which is dropped when detected in high enough volume — so it never reaches its destination — keeping customer websites online. In many cases, flagging bad traffic can be straightforward.

Beyond the Code: Why API Security Matters More Than Ever in Tech

API security has become a critical focus for organizations in the technology sector as the reliance on APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) continues to grow rapidly. APIs are the foundation of modern applications, facilitating communication between software systems, integrating services, and driving innovation. However, as the use of APIs expands, so do the associated security risks.

Attackers Target Crypto Wallets Using Codeless Webflow Phishing Pages

From April to September 2024, Netskope Threat Labs tracked a 10-fold increase in traffic to phishing pages crafted through Webflow. The campaigns target sensitive information from different crypto wallets, including Coinbase, MetaMask, Phantom, Trezor, and Bitbuy, as well as login credentials for multiple company webmail platforms, as well as Microsoft365 login credentials.

Vulnerability-Free C and C++ Development in Automotive Manufacturing and Software Defined Vehicles (SDV)

The automotive industry is at a unique inflection point in its history with the advent of the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). During the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress held in Detroit April 16th - 18th, 2024, it was explicitly stated there is more than a $500 billion market that will see investment in R&D and technological advancements for the automotive industry.

A Secure VPC as the Main Pillar of Cloud Security

In 2019, the Capital One breach led to the exposure of 100 million customers’ personal data due to a misconfigured WAF. The incident ultimately cost Capital One over $270 million in fines and compensation, demonstrating the serious risks inherent in cloud security and highlighting the urgent need for robust security measures. As cloud adoption accelerates, public cloud services spend is expected to jump 20.4% versus 2023, reaching $675.4 billion this year.

The Forensic Investigator Role: Skills and Responsibilities

Businesses adopt new and sophisticated technology every day. All that tech, however, comes with the risk of crime or financial fraud. That’s what forensic investigators help with — they solve these crimes by identifying the criminals and recovering the assets. Forensic investigators collect evidence from crime scenes, analyze it, and conclude the results in a report that later serves as an important document in trials.
