In November 2023, while conducting a security assessment on a client’s instance of the Oracle Integration Cloud Platform, I discovered a medium severity vulnerability nestled within the handling of the “consumer_url” URL parameter. This flaw unveiled a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vector that could be exploited by a user with malicious intent.

Accuracy is important in just about everything we do, so it’s difficult to think of a situation in which one can be too exact. But it’s not impossible.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising solution to modernize power grids. The technology, alongside other upgrades like Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, could make energy infrastructure more reliable and sustainable. However, AI power grids also pose significant cybersecurity risks. Attacks against critical infrastructure are becoming more common. As energy authorities ramp up their investments in AI, they should pay attention to these risks to enable a safer tech transformation.

Vanta was founded on a mission to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We got our start in 2018 by automating compliance with information security frameworks like SOC 2, making it faster and easier for companies to demonstrate their security and unblock revenue.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, API attacks pose significant threats to organizations. These attacks, particularly the low and slow variety, are notoriously challenging to detect and mitigate. Salt Security stands out as the premier solution for identifying and addressing these sophisticated threats, setting a benchmark that competitors struggle to match. Here’s why Salt Security is unparalleled in catching low and slow API attacks.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any data that uniquely identifies an individual. This can range from apparent details like names and Social Security numbers to more subtle information like IP addresses and login IDs. The growing volume of data collected in our digital age amplifies the significance of distinguishing between sensitive and non-sensitive PII, given their different handling requirements and associated risks.

Data backup is an important part of cybersecurity. Implementing appropriate data backup solutions may save both time and money. Understanding and adhering to current backup procedures is critical, as is partnering with IT workers. Imagine an organization experiencing a sudden hardware failure on their computer. Without proper backups, restoring critical records gets delayed or even impossible. If there is no backup policy in place, one must be created.
