Here at Ignyte, we talk a lot about the most common and popular security certifications and frameworks for cloud service providers and others, FedRAMP, CMMC, and their associated NIST publications. These are very important, but they’re far from everything that can be relevant to a CSP or to businesses looking to maintain their security credentials. Most CSPs have to deal with basic PII, CUI, and other forms of protected information that may be treated broadly the same.

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.

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.

In the landscape of modern application development and deployment, Kubernetes has transcended its adoption phase to become a cornerstone technology for organizations worldwide. According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), a staggering 96% of organizations are actively using or evaluating Kubernetes, with over 5.6 million developers worldwide embracing its capabilities.

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.

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is used to evaluate and communicate the technical severity of software, hardware and firmware vulnerabilities. While CVSS has been around for nearly 2 decades and now stands as an industry standard tool for scoring the severity of a vulnerability, the framework still has its limitations. To mitigate some of these challenges and improve the efficacy of the system, an updated version of CVSS was released in November 2023.

Among the due diligence a company should perform when signing with a managed detection and response (MDR) provider, one item that may not be top of mind is who owns custom content developed during the service. You may be surprised to find out it’s often the provider, not you. MDR content ownership becomes an issue when you change providers or bring in-house the monitoring capability.

If over 40 major banks can be the target of JavaScript injection attacks, let’s be honest – so can you. In 2023, a malware campaign using this attack method affected 50,000 user sessions across more than 40 financial institutions worldwide, leaving many dev teams in pure damage-control mode. 67.9% of professional developers use JavaScript more often than any other programming language. Its popularity is understandable, given its versatile and interactive capabilities.

New data shows that the attacks IT feels most inadequate to stop are the ones they’re experiencing the most. According to Keeper Security’s latest report, The Future of Defense: IT Leaders Brace for Unprecedented Cyber Threats, the most serious emerging types of technologies being used in modern cyber attacks lead with AI-powered attacks and deepfake technology. By itself, this information wouldn’t be that damning.

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.
