When the economy tightens, small business owners often feel it first—and hardest. Sales dip, leads dry up, and suddenly, that shiny website you poured money into starts to look more like a cost center than a growth engine. But here’s the truth: your website can be your strongest asset during a downturn—if you treat it like a tool, not a…
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) represents a strategic and integrated framework designed to optimise the security posture of applications throughout their entire life cycle. This multifaceted approach combines continuous monitoring, automated vulnerability assessment, and centralized policy enforcement, enabling organizations to gain a comprehensive, real-time understanding of the security dynamics inherent in their applications. By analyzing key components such as services,…
What is FinTech The rise of mobile technology and decentralized finance (DeFi) has fueled the rapid growth of Financial Technology (FinTech). FinTech refers to digital applications that streamline financial transactions, making payments, investments, and banking more accessible and efficient. From online shopping to car insurance, FinTech simplifies everyday transactions with seamless digital solutions. It has also transformed investment opportunities, from…
A bootkit represents one of the most insidious forms of malware, primarily due to its ability to embed itself deep within the system’s boot process, making it extraordinarily difficult to detect and eradicate. Unlike traditional forms of malware that operate within the operating system (OS), bootkits specifically target the Master Boot Record (MBR) or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), the…
Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a critical web application vulnerability that enables attackers to exploit an application’s functionality to gain unauthorised access to internal systems. This vulnerability can result in sensitive data exposure, unauthorised system access, and, in severe cases, remote code execution. How Does a Server-Side Request Forgery Attack Work? When developing networked applications, it is common to send…
Network stability relies heavily on the efficient functioning of protocols like Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices. However, these essential services can be targeted by attackers, and one of the most disruptive tactics is the DHCP starvation attack. This attack aims to deplete the DHCP server’s pool of available IP addresses, crippling network functionality.…
In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, a new and formidable threat has emerged: Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats (HEAT). Unlike traditional cyberattacks, HEAT attacks are designed to bypass standard security defenses, making them particularly dangerous for organizations and individuals alike. These sophisticated threats leverage advanced evasion techniques, enabling them to infiltrate networks, compromise sensitive data, and execute malicious activities without detection.…
The ever-increasing complexity and scale of contemporary systems have significantly amplified the risk of security breaches, making them prime targets for the rapid evolution of cyber threats. In the absence of rigorous oversight, these systems become susceptible to compromise, with the potential for severe and widespread consequences. To mitigate these risks, it is imperative to adopt a proactive approach to…
A teardrop attack is a form of Denial of Service (DoS) assault that exploits the fragmentation process of IP packets to incapacitate a victim’s server or network. This attack involves sending specially crafted, fragmented packets that are difficult for the target system to reassemble. The victim’s server, unable to properly reassemble the fragmented data, experiences a computational overload, ultimately leading…
Cyber threats continue to evolve into persistent and sophisticated challenges. One such notable threat, the logic bomb, represents a particularly insidious form of malware. A logic bomb is a form of malicious code or payload embedded within a legitimate software system, designed to lie dormant until specific conditions are met. This makes logic bombs not only difficult to detect but…
