Detect and Protect Strategies for Malware Free Websites and APIs

Over 1 billion known malware threats exist, with an alarming 17 million new variants emerging each month! Malware targeting customer-facing websites and API applications poses significant risks, including compliance violations, defacements, and even blacklisting. In this webinar, join Vivekanand Gopalan, VP of Products at Indusface, as he shares effective strategies for safeguarding websites and APIs against malware.

Attributes and Types of Security Testing

Security testing aims to find vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in the software/ application. By subjecting the software or application to controlled security scenarios, cyber security testing ensures that the system is adequately prepared to withstand attacks and unforeseen failures. Security experts and testers use different types of security testing to identify potential threats, measure the probability of exploitation of vulnerabilities, and gauge the overall risks facing the software/ app.

What is a Reverse Proxy, How Does it Work, and What are its Benefits?

A reverse proxy is a server that sits between the client and the origin server. It accepts requests from clients and forwards them to the appropriate server. It also receives responses from the server and sends them back to the client. A reverse proxy is an essential component of web application infrastructure, providing a layer of abstraction between clients and origin servers to help optimize traffic routing and improve performance and security.

8 Compliance Challenges Enterprises Face in 2024

Compliance is a critical concern for businesses today, but navigating the rules can be overwhelming. With regulations constantly evolving, many organizations struggle to keep up. I had the opportunity to participate in a recent virtual panel with Ashish Tandon, Founder & CEO of Indusface. Over the years, I have consulted with multiple large enterprises across geographies and industries. Below are the top challenges that they face as far as compliance is concerned.

RCE Zero Day Vulnerabilities in CUPS Put Linux Systems at Risk

A new series of vulnerabilities in the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) threatens numerous Linux systems, potentially allowing remote code execution (RCE). This affects a wide range of platforms, including Debian, Red Hat, SUSE and macOS. The vulnerabilities—tracked as CVE-2024-47176, CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, and CVE-2024-47177—are believed to endanger over 76,000 devices, with estimates suggesting up to 300,000 could be affected.

How do Compliance Regulations Drive Application Security?

A zero-day flaw in MOVEit software exposed the data of 66.4 million individuals, revealing businesses are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Applications, which manage sensitive data, are prime targets for these threats. Compliance regulations recognize the risks and establish guidelines aimed at ensuring applications meet data protection, privacy, and overall security. PCI DSS v4.0 for example introduces 64 new requirements including strict security measures to protect public-facing applications.

CVE-2024-8190 - OS Command Injection in Ivanti CSA

A high severity OS command injection vulnerability, CVE-2024-8190, has been found in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) versions 4.6 Patch 518 and earlier. This flaw allows attackers with admin access to remotely execute malicious commands, potentially taking full control of the system. Ivanti has already released updates, but this command injection vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, making immediate action critical.

Top 8 Vulnerability Management Challenges and How to Overcome Them

The State of Application Security report shows that over 2.37 billion attacks were blocked on AppTrana WAAP from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Attacks targeting vulnerabilities surged by 1,200% in Q2 2024 compared to last year, an alarming fact. This sharp rise highlights that vulnerabilities are the prime target. Moreover, they are now easily exploitable thanks to readily available scripts on known vulnerabilities. This could be because of rapid adoption of AI and LLM models even among hackers.
