Internet of things (IoT) application and rollout has been rapid, disrupting and streamlining processes in a variety of industries, However, it has created a situation where “today’s IoT security is lightweight compared to enterprise application security” , creating a need for IoT security solutions than many of the insufficient and fragmented options.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly becoming a part of our homes, businesses, and public services with a wide range of uses from ‘smart’ home appliances to complex industrial tools. With the increasing adoption and application of IoT devices, they have also become increasingly targeted by malicious actors looking to take advantage of opportunities to access them.
Amidst the havoc that has been data breaches, another one bites the dust! Microsoft on Wednesday disclosed that they had found a high-severity flaw in the Android version of the TikTok app that gives the hackers a free way to hijack a user's accounts with One SINGLE click. The issue had apparently been reported to Tiktok back in February and was quickly fixed before it could be exploited.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been a rapidly implemented technology, with estimates suggesting that there will be over 50 billion devices connected to the internet by 2020. This number includes not only traditional computing devices, but also a wide range of “smart” devices including cars, appliances, and even medical implants. As these devices become more and more common, the need for effective security management becomes increasingly important.
The explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way we live, with over 27 billion connected devices by 2020, it’s no wonder that businesses are looking to IoT solutions to improve efficiency and drive innovation. However, with this increased connectivity comes a variety of new security threats that need to be addressed. In this article, we will discuss best practice guidelines for managing your IoT security.
Almost a year ago, Gartner predicted that API attacks would be the most frequent enterprise attack vector in 2022. Strengthening API security is more critical today than ever and must be at the core of cybersecurity strategy to prevent API exploitation. To make matters worse, the lack of API visibility weakens core security principles. More organizations don’t have an accurate inventory of APIs, and it is not surprising for 30% of APIs to be unknown.
Where do open source dependencies go to die, and why do they come to an end? What happened to the npm faker module? Can it happen again? Join me to learn how open source software libraries rise to glory and how they reach their end of life. I’ll also include some takeaways for developers and ops engineers.
When choosing automated mobile app security testing tools, mobile app development companies have two options: open-source and commercialized tools. But which one should you go for? Or, to be more precise, which one’s cheaper? If you have these questions on your mind, you’ve come to the right place. This blog explicitly differentiates open-source mobile app security testing tools from commercialized ones based on different factors, including cost.
The education systems, including K-12 school institutions, are in the crosshairs of increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks. In just one month of 2021, educational organizations suffered more than 5.8 million malware incidents. Teachers, administrators and students are also targets as they use various devices such as laptops and smartphones to browse social media or send messages with friends and family.
At CloudCasa, as a cloud-native backup-as-a-service provider, we are often dealing with customer concerns about the security and privacy of their data. Sometimes the concern is almost paradoxical because the data and application they are protecting is publicly accessible and running inside the public cloud. However, there are times when organizations use public cloud infrastructure with a network architecture that resembles a private cloud.
