A new protocol, DNS over HTTPS (DoH), is a sensation in modern times, designed for enterprise security products and policies. A combination of DNS protocol and HTTPS protocol, DoH affects businesses, organisations, and regular users. DNS over HTTPS is used to enhance the security of network communication.
Spoofing attacks are on the rise. What is a spoofing attack, you ask? Essentially, it attempts to gain unauthorised access to systems, devices or networks by masquerading as a valid user. In other words, spoofing attackers try to mimic or copy the behaviour of authorised users to steal information or gain access.
Web applications across the digital world are teeming with vulnerabilities increasingly equipped to defeat security mechanisms. Among them are injection attacks. We are aware of the many injection vulnerabilities present in a web application, for example, SQL injection, HTML injection, CRLF injection, cross-site scripting and many others. This article will discuss CRLF injection vulnerability in detail for web application security.
The current cyber threat landscape forces the secure handling of personal data, and data privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) assist in enforcing essential security measures.
Privileged account management is the process of identifying, controlling and monitoring privileged accounts and their associated activity. Privileged accounts are typically high-level administrator accounts that have broad access rights across an organisation’s IT systems. Because of their elevated level of access, these accounts pose a significant risk if they were to fall into the wrong hands.
In recent times as the field of information is on the rise a new term ‘Ethical Hacking’ has emerged and opened many different avenues for IT and cyber security professionals. Now more and more people are getting familiar with the field of information security and are getting interested in learning about hacking skills.
When protecting an organisation against cyber attacks, the words security threats, vulnerabilities, risk exposure, and sometimes exploits are seen very commonly. Unfortunately, these terms are not used correctly or interchangeably and are often left undefined.
Our other blogs and articles are primarily security-focused – this is non-technical yet relevant, one of the issues that I felt and intended to explore personally. It’s pretty hard to admit when you are in privilege, and it’s even harder to change the status quo when you are comfortable. This is a write-up on how I see diversity and inclusion currently in the cybersecurity industry, mainly a beginner’s understanding of the subject.
The advance of the 21st century brought with it a significant shift in the work scene. Every industry and field relies heavily on computers and the digital world to function seamlessly. However, with it came the ever-mounting fear of cyber attack. Among the many forms of cyber attack is a watering hole attack, also known as a supply chain attack. In a watering hole attack, attackers mainly try to compromise a user by infecting the user’s computer and gaining access to the network.
Handling our system memory safely and protecting it from harmful programs and other programs that are prone to executable code run from a data page on different memory locations and specific data section is a challenging task. The essential Windows programs and services have been a big step forward in easing that task.
