2024 - week 11

Password Audit is integral part of pen test. Unfortunately, NordPass and other security researches in 2023 revealed that most common passwords are:
- 123456
- admin
- 12345678
- 123456789
- password

Change them regularly with 14 mixed up characters with MFA

2024 - Week 10

2024 has 52 weeks - each week we will raise the awareness of the importance of regular (annual or quarterly) penetration tests and security risk assessments.

Be safer today. That’s it, that’s the post.

Week 9

How to protect against Ransomware:

- Educate employees about the risks of social engineering.

- Patch and Test regularly. Ransomware code often targets known vulnerabilities. By keeping systems updated it can significantly minimize the risk of the attack.

[PreCog Security @precogsecurity]

Week 8

Top 10 OWASP

1. Broken access control
2. Cryptographic failures
3. Injection
4. Insecure design
5. Security misconfig
6. Vuln&outdated components
7. Identif. and authent.
8. Software&data integrity
9. Security logging and monitoring
10. Server-side request forgery

2024 - Week 7

How penetration test can lower the risk of ransomware attacks:

Vulnerability Identification-uncover vulnerabilities that could otherwise remain unseen.

Cyber Defense -get a sense of cyber defense capability, threat alert abilities, and reaction times.

The FBI received almost 19,000 reports regarding romantic scams in 2022 alone. Costing $739M!

- update the software on all your devices
- change your passwords regularly
- use 14+ character passwords
- enable multi-factor authentication
- DO NOT CLICK on malicious links

2024 - week 5
To mitigate the risk posed by Ransomware as a Service, orgs must adopt a multi-faceted approach to cybersecurity. This includes implementing robust security measures such as:

• Endpoint protection
• Network segmentation
• Regular data backups
• Pen Test

2024-Week 4

2024 has 52 weeks - each week we will raise the awareness of the importance of regular pen tests.

Password audit- these types of security assessments are part of network penetration tests. Poor passwords contributed to 81% of corporate data breaches in 2023 (Astra).

2024-Week 3

Based on IBM's estimate, the average global cost of a data breach is $4.35 million (12.7% increase annually). It will take significant financial imvestment, state-of-the-art safety measures, and several weeks of downtime to return operations to normal.
