These days, a lot of businesses operate remotely, which means that employees work outside of their secure corporate networks. Thus, the importance of cybersecurity increases. It safeguards all types of information from loss and damage, including sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII). It is essential to inform your workforce about typical cyber threats that are used to steal confidential information.

Salesforce is, without a doubt, the most recognized customer relationship management (CRM) tool. Due to the system being flexible and supporting companies of all sizes across every industry, it requires continuous testing, regular maintenance and constant feature upgrades in order for your business to remain competitive.

Every service-based organization now places a high priority on cybersecurity. Organizations that are unaware of cyberattacks and the damage they may do to systems are becoming targets. Therefore, concentrating on thorough security testing procedures is the best strategy to secure the firm. The major reason network penetration tests are important for an organization's security is that they teach staff how to deal with any form of malicious entity break-in.

In order to ensure that software, mobile, or web applications are safe to use, you need to run a series of data security test cases. At QASource, we have security testing specialists who use a variety of techniques to ensure that the software or application has been fully tested using the latest tools and industry best practices.

A Session management vulnerability arises when the tokens used to identify sessions are not securely stored, expired properly or created using poor algorithms. In this case, an attacker can steal a user's session by sniffing the traffic or guessing the token values. This can lead to hijacking of user's accounts and sensitive data theft, which may have implications on business operations.

We have some bad news: There is almost no way of creating a completely secure software program. Vile ransomware sneaks in through a variety of different cracks in safety infrastructure, infiltrating machines, and eventually, entire organizations through an email link accidentally clicked. Ransomware, however, is nothing new, and like every aspect of technology, it has also evolved. Previously, it used to be an occasional expense, but now, with the evolution of technology, hackers have managed to infiltrate every industry vertical, from energy, to transportation and healthcare with ransomware attacks.

The modern concept of APIs is more than 20 years old, and since then, APIs have become very popular and commonly used. Today, APIs have grown large in numbers and have become a necessary part of software development. As per RapidAPI’s Developer Survey and Insights report, in the year 2020, 61% of developers reported using more APIs compared to the previous year. In addition, 71% are expected to use even more APIs in coming years. Traditional DAST scanners are not that much capable to cover APIs completely. They can cover only a small portion. If an application’s front end does not interact with all API endpoints, traditional DAST scanners are more likely to miss them. It is, therefore, crucial to adopt an extensive API testing strategy.

Organizations today are more concerned today than ever before about their data being stolen, which can cause them and their constituents financial and business consequence. Companies are aware that they need to identify any security vulnerabilities present in their products early on in the process, which is why static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST) are quickly becoming an integral part of software development processes.

UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics) is a cyber security process that analyzes users’ behavior. Machine learning, statistical analysis, and algorithms are used to analyze deviations from the usual users’ patterns. UEBA also analyzes logs, report data, file, flow, and packet information.
