Dependency Mapping for DevSecOps

Dependency Mapping for DevSecOps Today, DevOps teams use a staggering array of interconnected applications and infrastructure systems to build their continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These components are called dependencies because they depend on each other to enhance the functionality of an application. While dependencies shorten the release cycle and simplify developers’ lives, without proper security in place, these pipelines can be exposed to critical risks. In a worst-case scenario, it can cause…

TLS Connection Cryptographic Protocol Vulnerabilities

Why Your TLS Connection May Not be as Secure as You Think The Transport Layer Security (TLS) cryptographic protocol is the backbone of encryption on the Internet. It prevents eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery between two communicating network endpoints. TLS secures many types of Internet communication, including web browsing, email, instant messaging, and voice over IP (VoIP). However, a misconfiguration in TLS can open the doors to multiple vulnerabilities. This blog post explores the risks…

What is Business Attack Surface Management?

I dislike creating new terms for things in cybersecurity that already exist, so I’m on thin ice with that headline. But hear me out. Attack Surface Management (ASM) has made sense to me. “You can’t manage threats” is one of the foundations of cybersec companies and organizations have forgotten. Although we can’t manage threats, we sure can manage how we watch them, respond to them and structure our tech and security though. ASM is often…

4 Cyber Insurance Requirement Predictions for 2023

Download Trend Micro’s Guide to Cyber Insurance Just a decade ago, it seemed like the only requirement from cyber insurance carriers was the need for a policy; the application process was easy, and the questionnaire was simple. But as ransomware attacks grew in popularity and damage, carriers were forced to tighten the reigns to keep a balanced book. In 2020, we witnessed the cyber insurance market harden for the first time ever. Since then, carriers…

An in-depth HTTP Strict Transport Security Tutorial

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is an Internet standard and policy that tells the browser to only interact with websites using a secure HTTPS connection. When a web browser receives an HSTS policy from a website, it automatically uses HTTPS for all future communications with that website, even if the user attempts to use HTTP. This ensures all communications between a browser and website are secure and can’t be intercepted or tampered with by an…

What is Red Teaming & How it Benefits Orgs

In today’s increasingly connected world, red teaming has become a critical tool for organizations to test their security and identify possible gaps within their defenses. Red teaming, also known as red cell, adversary simulation, or Cyber Red Team, involves simulating real-world cyber attackers’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to assess an organization’s security posture. In the world of cybersecurity, the term “red teaming” refers to a method of ethical hacking that is goal-oriented and driven…
