When discussing web application security with customers we often get asked whether we test against the OWASP Top 10 - the short answer is 'yes we do' but there's much more than 10 potential vulnerabilities in web application security! The OWASP Top 10 is just the tip of the iceberg.   So who are OWASP and what is the OWASP Top 10? The OWASP Top 10, highlights the most critical web app vulnerabilities, such as broken access control, injection flaws, and outdated components, to guide developers, IT managers, and security professionals in mitigating risks. Updated every few years, it serves as an educational resource to improve security practices, raise awareness, and support compliance but should be part of a broader, ongoing security strategy rather than a one-time checklist.

Vulnerability Assessments vs. Penetration Testing... We sometimes find when speaking with customers they think these two things are the same thing, which is simply not the case. Vulnerability assessments scan for weaknesses, and penetration testing takes it further by attempting to exploit them. Most of the confusion surrounding the two comes from the fact that pentesting requires the pentester to conduct a vulnerability assessment to find the weaknesses they wish to exploit. Penetration testing is arguably more valuable than vulnerability assessments since they are more thorough and provide the organisation with a comprehensive understanding of their system vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited. As discussed earlier, vulnerability assessments only identify the weaknesses and report them. However, penetration tests are more expensive, so it is common for companies to use vulnerability assessments more frequently than pentests.

Farn Hussain sharing his thoughts around the recent cyber attack which took place against T-Mobile recently.

More often that not when speaking with prospects they are conducting 'pentesting' on a regular basis... However, when we get deeper into the conversation, it turns out they are conducting automated testing. Now don't get us wrong - automated testing is definitely something you should do. But, manual testing is equally as important. Read out blog post to find out more: https://lnkd.in/ePFXRurd #infosec #cybersecurity #penetrationtesting

You want to hear a real ghost story? 👻 Not getting a pen test, giving you the assurance you needed to prevent the cyber attack in the first place Who you gonna call? Fortifi Cyber! #infosec #cybersecurity #penetrationtesting

he Government's Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2024 uncovered that 50% of businesses and 32% of charities reported experiencing cybersecurity breaches or attacks between 2023 and 2024. Of the attacks experienced by those surveryed, phishing attacks remained the most prevalent type, impacting 84% of those businesses and 83% of those charities. Unfortunately, phishing attacks continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, remaining an important type of attack for organisations to watch out for. Reporting these phishing attempts is important; doing so assists the NCSC in tracking and analysing emerging trends, and it also helps the relevant authorities in blocking these malicious sources, helping to protect everyone. Stay informed and stay alert. 💪 #CyberSecurity #PhishingAwareness #infosec
