As we previously discussed, good scoping is essential in penetration testing. But let’s not forget the importance of a thorough and well-written report. It should analyze vulnerabilities and their potential impact on the business while providing clear recommendations for improving security and preventing future attacks. The report should be written in a concise and straightforward...
As cyber security threats have continuously evolved, penetration testing has become essential to an organization’s security strategy. Penetration tests allow us to detect weaknesses in a system, network or application by simulating an attack – thus helping identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Scoping is key to successfully conducting any pen test; its boundaries determine what will...
Our previous blog discussed how ChatGPT could be vital in providing vital assistance during penetration testing. This groundbreaking AI technology can provide essential insight into how to effectively perform pen-testing, provide various tools to assist us and make finding code analysis easier. In this blog, we will utilize the full extent of this technology to...
In recent times, the realm of cybersecurity has experienced remarkable progress with the integration of cutting-edge technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). Among these advancements, ChatGPT has emerged as a ground-breaking AI model developed by OpenAI. While primarily designed to provide assistance across various domains, the potential of ChatGPT extends to the field of penetration testing—an...
As a small business owner, you may believe your organization is safe from cyber-attacks. But in reality, small businesses are often at a greater risk of being targeted than larger firms due to lacking advanced cybersecurity measures – making them easy targets for cybercriminals. Here we explore five cybersecurity threats currently plaguing small companies today....
You may have often encountered the term “zero-day vulnerability” while discussing cybersecurity. These vulnerabilities are security flaws that enable attackers to exploit gaps before a patch or solution is available – often without anyone realizing it until after an attack! This blog will start with exploring zero-day vulnerabilities and their potential dangers. We’ll also explain...
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common and complex nowadays. According to a report, global ransomware damage costs are anticipated to surpass $265 billion by 2031. This figure emphasizes the need for practising robust security measures to prevent ransomware attacks. One such prevention measure is penetration testing. It is an important element of any cybersecurity strategy....
At a time when cyber threats have never been more sophisticated and widespread, organizations must prioritize effective cybersecurity measures. Traditional perimeter defence approaches have proven inadequate at protecting against modern threats; using Zero Trust Security (ZTS), organizations can establish strong yet dynamic defences by verifying all users and devices regardless of location with rigorous verification...
As we approach the 2023 mid-year, businesses must remain aware of and prepare for emerging cybersecurity trends that could threaten their operations. Cyber threats continue to evolve rapidly; businesses that don’t adapt quickly enough risk losing customer trust and valuable data. Here we explore some key trends for 2023 as well as ways businesses can...
As either an individual or business owner, you have probably come across the term “password spraying” when discussing password security. Password spraying is an increasingly prevalent cyber-attack that many individuals and businesses fall prey to; an example would be where an attacker uses brute force attacks against multiple accounts using only common passwords to gain...
