  The healthcare sector is rapidly becoming more digitized, with web  applications at the forefront of this transformation. From electronic health records (EHRs) to patient portals to telemedicine platforms, web applications are helping to improve patient care and efficiency in myriad ways. However, this digital transformation also comes with increased cybersecurity risks. Healthcare data is a valuable target for cybercriminals, and healthcare organizations are often seen as easy targets due to their complex IT infrastructures and sensitive data. As a result, it is essential for  healthcare organizations  to prioritize web application security. By implementing strong security measures, healthcare organizations can protect their patients’ data and ensure the continuity of care. Role of Web Apps in Healthcare Web applications transform healthcare, deliver advanced patient care, improve customer experience, and enable data-driven decisions with real-time insights. EHRs,...

  Cyber-attacks are growing by the day, with web applications being the prime target. What’s more concerning is that 98% of web applications are vulnerable to attacks it can take an average of 287 days to detect and contain a data breach. Therefore, knowing how to keep web applications safeguarded from threat actors can enable CISOs and IT leaders to protect their web assets better. While there are many ways to ensure security of an application, knowing where to begin can get daunting. Therefore, one of the best ways is to analyze the key performance indicators (KPIs) that reveal the website’s health, allow the IT team to identify vulnerabilities in time, and improve the website’s performance. 7 website application KPIs to track to keep vulnerabilities at bay 1. Number of vulnerabilities and their severity There are two primary ways to check for any web vulnerability—automated vulnerability scanning tools and manual methods like penetration testing. It is important to classify the...

 The internet is an integral part of our daily lives—from starting a business to learning new skills and pursuing passions—the internet caters to every individual’s needs. However, the WWW we know to be an ocean of information is merely 10% of the internet. A larger portion of the web is formed by the Deep Web, comprised of Dark Web . The deep web is that part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines. This includes password-protected websites, private databases, and the contents of our email. The deep web is not inherently dangerous but can be challenging to access and navigate. The dark web is a small subset of the deep web designed to be anonymous. This makes it conducive for criminals to conduct illegal activities. Since the deep web uses sophisticated technologies and layered encryption, it makes it harder for government authorities to keep track of activities and makes it a perfect hub for malicious crimes.  While the deep web is not necessarily malicious, it...

  DDoS attacks have long been any business’s worst nightmare. As technology advances, DDoS attacks are growing at an alarming rate from their nascent forms as blunt volumetric assaults, they have matured into multifaceted, AI-orchestrated campaigns. Cloud computing, IoT proliferation, AI integration, and connectivity progressiveness have intensified the scope for DDoS attacks. How the Adoption of New Technologies is Making Businesses More Vulnerable to DDoS Attacks The interconnectedness of IoT devices, reliance on cloud infrastructure, and the potential misuse of AI-driven tools provide attackers with an expanded attack surface. This year also witnessed an amplified bandwidth of up to 216% compared to 2020. With more available bandwidth, attackers can generate and send more malicious traffic to the target, disrupting a larger scale. Malicious actors can harness many compromised devices (botnets) or use amplification techniques with higher bandwidth. Thus, even a small request gen...

Written by: Shibu Paul, Vice President International sales at Array Networks Setting strong and secure passwords has become paramount to safeguarding our online identities and confidential digital assets. However, creating and managing complex passwords can be cumbersome, leading to resistance to embracing this approach. As a result, around 44% of people reuse their passwords for personal and professional accounts.  Passwordless authentication plays a crucial role in remediating this situation. By leveraging the unique physiological characteristics of individuals to establish their identity, it offers unparalleled security. It locks away the sensitive, critical information behind the curtains of your fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features, voice patterns, and behavioral patterns like keystroke dynamics.  Biometric systems can be deployed across applications, from physical access control and time attendance systems to mobile devices and online transactions.

 Over the past few years, ransomware attacks have become a very serious issue for organizations of all sizes across sectors. These malicious cyber-attacks involve infiltration of a company’s computer systems and encryption of critical data and demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. As technology progresses, so do the methods adopted by cybercriminals. Here are some of the emerging trends in ransomware attacks and effective mitigation strategies for businesses to protect themselves from this growing menace.  Emerging Trends Modern ransomware attacks are more sophisticated and employ advanced techniques and strategies, resulting in a higher success rate for threat actors. Following are some of its examples. Double Extortion: In this trend, cybercriminals not only encrypt an organization’s data, but also steal sensitive information before encryption. They then threaten to release or sell the data if the ransom is not paid, thus increasing p...
