Internal testing looks for possible issues within an organization, often related to human error and employees use Human error is themost common cybersecurity threatto organizations and businesses. This can be du
This form of social engineering often begins by gaining access to an email account or another communication account on an IM client, social network, chat, forum, etc. They accomplish this either by hacking, social engineering, or simply guessing really weak passwords. The malicious person may the...
The effectiveness of encryption depends on proper implementation. Weak passwords, lost keys, and mismanagement can lead to breaches. Some users choose easily guessable passwords; lost keys can make data irretrievable. Organizations must enforce strong password policies, train employees on secure key ...
Security Testing: This involves identifying vulnerabilities within the application, simulating potential attacks to uncover weak points in the code that could be exploited by hackers. Usability Testing: Focused on the user experience, usability testing assesses whether the application is intuitive and ea...

They perform various functions such as identifying weak passwords, decrypting password data, running character combinations, and deploying dictionary attacks while running against many different protocols and operating systems. Some of the most popular tools include: John the Ripper: Open-source software ...
Password managers, two-factor authentication (2FA), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and biometrics can reduce the risk of leak credentials resulting in a security incident too. 2. Weak Credentials Weak passwords and reused passwords mean one data breach can result in many more. Teach your...
A man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack is a form of cyberattack in which criminals exploiting weak web-based protocols insert themselves between entities in a communication channel to steal data. None of the parties sending email, texting, or chatting on a video call are aware that an attacker...
Common vulnerabilities listed in vulnerability databases include: Initial deployment failure: Functionality for databases may appear fine, but without rigorous testing, flaws can allow attackers to infiltrate. Poor security controls, weak passwords, or default security settings can lead to sensitive material...
that are difficult for hackers to answer—but it could also result in weak and easily-exploitable questions. Self-written questions rely on the user’s own security behavior, so inviting users with less security awareness to set their own questions can really increase therisk of account takeover...
