How to implement SSL/TLS pinning in Node.js

With threat actors performing man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, having an SSL/TLS certificate is no longer a valid reason to trust an incoming connection. Consequently, developers are increasingly adopting SSL/TLS pinning, also known as certificate or public key pinning, as an additional measure to prove the authenticity and integrity of a connection.

Vulnerability Assessment Methodology: How to Perform a Vulnerability Assessment

There are flaws in every organization’s IT infrastructure, along with software that requires patching. These flaws could arise from various sources, such as human errors during software coding. Hackers are always on the lookout to exploit these flaws and applications. However, by following a vulnerability assessment methodology to perform vulnerability assessments, organizations can identify these weaknesses before the cyber adversaries do.

The Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) Explained

Cybersecurity is complex — anticipating cybersecurity events is another challenge altogether. We could argue that most events can be described by some probabilistic phenomenon, but attempting to define that phenomenon is where things get tricky. IT environment exposure presents real risks, but mathematically (or statistically), we can only aim to describe the likelihood of a cyberattack by accounting for a finite set of factors.

2023 OWASP Top-10 Series: API5:2023 Broken Function Level Authorization

Welcome to the 6th post in our weekly series on the new 2023 OWASP API Security Top-10 list, with a particular focus on security practitioners. This post will focus on API5:2023 Broken Function Level Authorization. In this series we are taking an in-depth look at each category – the details, the impact and what you can do about it.

The MOVEit Transfer vulnerability affects 40 million people worldwide

In over 600 data breaches, 40 million individuals were affected across the globe due to the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability. Between June 2023 and the present day, healthcare information, educational records, financial records, personal information, Social Security numbers, and insurance details have been either stolen or wiped out by threat actors who abused the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability.

How Okta empowers devs to find & fix security issues with Snyk

Many organizations find it challenging to locate and fix the vulnerabilities in their containers. But the team at Okta knew that securing the containers that support Auth0 (their identity and access (management platform), was imperative. The team also knew these security processes had to be developer-friendly: making finding and fixing container vulnerabilities as simple as possible.

What Is Cross-Site Scripting?

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a web security vulnerability that happens when cybercriminals inject client-side scripts into web pages accessible by other users. These scripts compromise the web page and allow cybercriminals to inject malicious scripts into a user’s browser, leading to the exposure of data, session hijacking or manipulation of the web page’s content and functionality.
