Application Security not only consists in the use of software, hardware, and procedural methods to protect applications from external threats, it is more than technology, is a path not a destination, it is about risk management and implementing effective countermeasures to identify potential threats and understand that each threat presents a degree of risk.
Once an afterthought in software design, security is becoming an increasingly important concern during development as applications become more frequently accessible over networks and are, as a result, vulnerable to a wide variety of threats. Security measures built into applications and a sound application security routine minimize the likelihood that unauthorized code will be able to manipulate applications to access, steal, modify, or delete sensitive data.
Join up in a tour of various scenarios identifying the basic concepts about Application Security, learning about some of the most recent vulnerabilities and data breaches, as well as examples of how easy it can be to hack you.

Oh, WASP! Security Essentials for Web AppsTechWell
The past few years have seen a rapid increase in business efficiency through Web-based applications. Unfortunately, a dramatic increase in the number of web application vulnerabilities has followed. Insecure web applications can be disastrous for mission critical businesses and users' sensitive data. More than 70 percent of security vulnerabilities are due to flaws in the application rather than firewall breaches. Bennie Paul explains how security testing has become an indispensable part of the SDLC for businesses operating online today. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) provides open source tools, code, and materials to develop, test, and maintain application security. Monitoring the “OWASP Top 10” web application security flaws is highly recommended as part of an organization’s testing methodology. Vulnerabilities identified are compared against the organization’s security objectives and regulations, and categorized accordingly for remediation. Benny guides you through the OWASP vulnerabilities, technique, framework, and preventive measures that you can adopt for building better software.

Mobile Apps and Security Attacks: An IntroductionNagarro
A general overview of why the security of your mobile device is important, what are the possible threats to mobile devices, and how you can detect the threats.
Malware attacks and data thefts are on the rise as evident from the recent news headlines. The mere use of antivirus software wouldn’t serve the purpose. The reason being, antivirus programs block attacks by using patterns or signatures to identify malicious software code. This signature-based detection was successful when the threats were lesser and spread over a good time frame.
Top Positive and Negative Impacts of AI & ML on CybersecurityPixel Crayons
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have many positive applications, from helping researchers better understand neural pathways in the brain to assisting law enforcement with identifying suspects in criminal investigations.
They are renowned for the greater good of cybersecurity. However, these technologies also hold the potential to ruin our perfectly running digital world and become a source of power to the dark web users/administrators.
If you’re not familiar with how AI and ML might impact cybersecurity, this blog will discuss both sides of the coin and help you better understand how this technology might affect you one day soon.
Under the right hands, they are a boon to humanity, but they can quickly turn into a bane on the corrupt hands.
As for now, upgrade your security with these technologies to stay in the competition. Connect with a Machine Learning company in India to maximize your cybersecurity.

Invesitigation of Malware and Forensic Tools on Internet IJECEIAES
Malware is an application that is harmful to your forensic information. Basically, malware analyses is the process of analysing the behaviours of malicious code and then create signatures to detect and defend against it.Malware, such as Trojan horse, Worms and Spyware severely threatens the forensic security. This research observed that although malware and its variants may vary a lot from content signatures, they share some behaviour features at a higher level which are more precise in revealing the real intent of malware. This paper investigates the various techniques of malware behaviour extraction and analysis. In addition, we discuss the implications of malware analysis tools for malware detection based on various techniques.
Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers and servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attacks.

Cyber Security in Financial Domain
Introduction
The latest IT sector is faced with several risks. The revolution has a chance with the manufactures of digital supply networks and smart technologies. The revolution is growing at a fast rate which leads to the increase of cyber-attacks. The interconnection of the digital systems leads to the significant rise of cyber-attacks. Some of the firms faced with cyber-attacks are not ready to face the issue of cyber-crime. IT firms need to be organized, vigilant, and resilient to deal with any risk that may arise (Evans, 2019). They need to put strict measures that will help them tackle any issue on its initial before it destroys different organizations.
Background of the problem
Cybersecurity is also referred to as information technology. Cybersecurity is the process which involves protecting networks, systems, and programs from digital attacks. Cybersecurity has been designed in a way that people try to gain access to applications without easily. Cybersecurity attacks intend to manipulate data, interrupt the functionality of the cyber, destroy digitally stored data as well as demand for money from data owners.
The attacks tend to gain access within the information technology so as they can easily manipulate the data. Most industries today have been affected by cybersecurity attacks. Their information has been managed, leading to loss of money. According to Singer and Friedman (2014), coming up with useful cybersecurity measure is a challenge since it requires a lot of time and attention to implement them. Cybersecurity criminals have also evolved and devised modern means and innovations on how they attack industries.
Cybersecurity can be termed as coming up with different practices into the existing systems to ensure credibility, availability, and integrity of information. The challenges faced with IT organizations can be solved with better practices and measures put in place. Organizations use advanced technology to detect any form of attack. The systems are well protected in a way that they cannot be manipulated. The firms will be on the safe side as they will not lose any data to hackers. They will also transform their technology to a new level.
The threats have been said to come in different forms such as ransom ware, malware attacks, and phishing and exploit kits. They have become more complicated due to the growing technologies in organizations. The IT firms have revolutionized over the years up to date. They use the latest technology, such as the use of robots, to make the work easier. Once these threats attack the machines, the machine fails hence will not be valid.
The organizations, therefore, need to come up with the latest techniques that will help them protect their technology. The m ...

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

ARE WE SECURE, OR NOT?
Security is fundamentally about protecting assets.
Assets may be tangible items, such as a Web page or
database —
or less tangible, such as company reputation.
We must analyze our infrastructure and applications,
identifying potential threats and understand that each
threat presents a degree of risk.
This means on security we manage risks and we also
implement effective countermeasures.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY SECURITY?
A threat is a potential event that can adversely affect an asset, whereas a successful attack exploits

HACKER/CRACKER DIFFERENCES
Avoid bothering anyone confusing the terms
Copyright 2019 Accenture. All rights reserved. 10
Intensely interested in the recondite workings of
any computer operating system and programming
language (most often programmers), discovering holes
and the reasons, constantly seeking further knowledge,
freely share what they discover, and never intentionally
damage data.
One who breaks into or otherwise violates the
system integrity of remote machines with malicious intent.
Having gained unauthorized access, crackers destroy
vital data, deny legitimate users service, or cause
problems for their targets. This means on security we
manage risks and we also implement effective
countermeasures.
Differences to help
or to detect and stop
them. HACKER
• Ethical or White Hat vs Gray Hat hacker.
• Expert vs. Script Kiddies crackers.

HOW IT WORKS: CYBERSECURITY
Response plan stopping a security breach
Copyright 2019 Accenture. All rights reserved. 12
Meet John, he's the chief security officer
(CSO) for a company that has an incident
response platform (EIRP) in place which
acts as a hub for the people, processes
and technology
Threat source
identification
The IRP software
connects to the
company user directory
The IRP system
recognizes the user
account belongs to a
valid company user
Findings triage
Helping on the IRP
software, the security
team reject false-
positives and also
identify defect
criticality (John's
credentials
were stolen when the
hackers found a
vulnerability in the
company's firewall)
It has determined
the attempted attack
came from a well
known cybercrime
organization using
stolen credentials (a
malware infected file
was uploaded)
Irregular
activity occurs
on John’s
account
Vulnerabilities
are fixed
Security team uses the
findings to identify the
specific server
vulnerability that
allowed the attack
The IRP software uses
the information to
determine which
machines in the
network need to be
patched
Collect findings
The incident IP
addresses are sent by
the IRP to a threat
intelligence software
which identifies the
address (maybe it is a
suspected malware
known server)
Findings are
aggregated to a
playbook to be
checked/reviewed by a
security team
Status (legal)
report
Security team
communicates
which data may
have been stolen or
compromised during
the incident
Regulatory agencies
are notified, as well
as the affected
parties

HOW IT WORKS: CLOUD SECURITY
• Restricting visibility and filtering
data through a private cloud that isolates
the client applications for unwanted traffic
access and ensuring protection.
• Monitoring data and only allowing the
legitimate users to gain or block access to
the server.
• Managing identity for access and
also setting compliance rules to ensure
the safety of the data bases (bound by laws
and regulations).

HOW IT WORKS: MOBILE SECURITY
• Prevent data leakage, ensuring that all
important data is encrypted, enhancing
security during the development process.
• Multiple security protection layers,
without making any changes to the mobile
app itself.
• Testing for vulnerabilities and risk
identifying where the (sensitive) data leaves
in the mobile.
• Protecting data in the wild with
obfuscation to prevent for changes in the
code or malware repackage.

SECURITY MAIN ELEMENTS
Security relies on elements described below
AUTHENTICATION
• Who are you? Applied for users,
other services, processes, computers.
• Is the process uniquely identifying the
clients of your applications and
services?
AUTHORIZATION
• What can you do? Resources and
operations that the authenticated client
is permitted to access.
• Resources as files, databases, tables,
… and operations as product purchase.
AUDITING
• Together with logging is the key to
non-repudiation.
• This mechanism guarantees that a
user cannot deny performing an
operation or initiating a transaction.
CONFIDENTIALITY
• Data cannot be gathered by
unauthorized users or monitoring the
flow of traffic across a network.
• Encryption and Access control lists
(ACLs) are used to enforce privacy.
IMAGE OR
ILLUSTRATION

INTEGRITY
• Guarantee that data is protected from
accidental or deliberate (malicious)
modification.
• Hashing techniques and message
authentication codes often used.
AVAILABILITY
• Systems remain available for
legitimate users.
• DOS (denial-of-service) attacks try to
crash an application or to make sure
that it is sufficiently overwhelmed.

CORE SECURITY PRINCIPLES
Recommendations regardless of technology/scenario
Compartmentalize
Reduce the surface area of attack.
Use least privilege
Minimal privileges and access rights.
Apply defense in depth
You do not rely on a single layer of security.
Do not trust user input
Assume all input is malicious until proven.
Check at the gate
Authenticate/authorize early —
at the first gate.
Fail securely
do not leave sensitive data accessible.
Secure the weakest link
Review any weak link in the chain for breaches.
Keep security simple
Avoid complex architectures and use simpler approach.
Create secure defaults
E.g. Disable default account and enable when required.
Don’t trust infrastructure/services
Application needs auth2 action from surrounded systems.
Reduce your attack surface
If you do not use it, remove it or disable it.
Establish secure defaults
Deliver an “out of the box” secure experience for users.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING HACK YOU
Simple trick with a phone call and crying baby
IMAGE, ILLUSTRATION,
TEXT, GRAPH ETC.
Hacking without any
code, just use a
phone, mail and
connection to
internet.
The focus in Social Engineering is to
extract some information or data points
that can be used in a later attack.

SHOULD WE FEAR HIJACKING?
Hackers remotely (and easily) kill a Jeep on highway
Type of network
security attack to
takes control of a
communication.
In hijacking the atacker masquerades
as one of the entities who communicate
between them.
Some typical scenarios are man-in-the-
middle attack, browser hijacking
or web site hijack.

OWASP TOP 10 MOST CRITICAL WEB APPLICATION SECURITY RISKS
Editor's Notes
PAM: Privileged Access Management, refers to a class of solutions that help secure, control, manage and monitor privileged access to critical assets.
IAM: Identity and Access Management, refers to a framework of policies and technologies for ensuring that the proper people in an enterprise have the appropriate access to technology resources.
DR: Disaster Recovery, is an area of security planning that aims to protect an organization from the effects of significant negative events. DR allows an organization to maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions following a disaster.
BCP: Business Continuity Planning, is the process involved in creating a system of prevention and recovery from potential threats to a company. The plan ensures that personnel and assets are protected, and are able to function quickly in the event of a disaster. The BCP is generally conceived in advance and involves input from key stakeholders and personnel.
SIEM: Security information and Event Management, is an approach to security management that combines SIM (Security Information Management) and SEM (Security Event Management) functions into one security management system.
SOC: Security Operations Center, is a centralized unit that deals with security issues on an organizational and technical level. A SOC within a building or facility is a central location from where staff supervises the site, using data processing technology. Typically, a SOC is equipped for access monitoring, and controlling of lighting, alarms, and vehicle barriers.
In order to detect advanced threats and breach activity more effectively, security methods can’t just focus on detection and prevention but must also include the ability to mitigate the impact once an attacker gets in. Organizations need to look at their security model holistically and gain continuous protection and visibility along the entire journey – from point of entry, through propagation, and post-infection remediation.
THREATS, VULNERABILITIES AND ATTACKS DEFINED
A threat is any potential occurrence, malicious or otherwise, that could harm an asset. In other words, a threat is any bad thing that can happen to your assets.
A vulnerability is a weakness that makes a threat possible. This may be because of poor design, configuration mistakes, or inappropriate and insecure coding techniques. Weak input validation is an example of an application layer vulnerability, which can result in input attacks.
An attack is an action that exploits a vulnerability or enacts a threat. Examples of attacks include sending malicious input to an application or flooding a network in an attempt to deny service.
1995: JavaScript was released to make it easier for developers to build interactive websites, and it wasn’t long before hackers began exploiting this new technology with techniques such as cross-site scripting (XSS). Some efforts were made to combat the issue, but it wasn’t until the infamous Samy worm defaced and took down MySpace in 2005 that developers and hackers began to take notice.
1998: A security researcher named Jeff Forristal (aka Rain Forrest Puppy) discovered the injection method of attack and detailed his findings on message boards. His findings were a warning to the industry of this imminent threat to Data Security. Indeed, many attacks followed, such as the SQL injection attack on Guess.com in 2002, which compromised over 200,000 names and credit card numbers. Injection remains to this day one of the top threats to Application Security.
COMPUTER VIRUS
Hidden malicious code that copies itself on computers without consent.
WORM
Similar to a virus, but can quickly spread over the Internet independently (both can perform harmful acts once they've gotten into your system).
TROJAN
Disguises itself as a normal or desirable program to trick you to install it, then performs various malicious functions such as the leading files, granting remote access to your computer or key logging which is recording your keystrokes to obtain personal information and passwords.
ROOTKIT
Threat that conceals other malware, so it stays hidden from you and making it more difficult to detect and delete.
RANSOMWARE
Locks you out of your files and demands payment in order to restore access.
SPYWARE
Collects sensitive personal information from computer such as key logging your passwords or credit card numbers.
ETHICAL/WHITE HAT HACKER
They know how to find and exploit vulnerabilities and weaknesses in various systems (just like a malicious/black hat hacker) trying to find vulnerabilities and fix them before the bad guys can get there and try to break in. The role is similar to a penetration tester, but breaking into systems legally and ethically.
EXPERT/SCRIPT KIDDIES CRACKERS
The first discover new security holes and often write programs that exploit them, and the second type only knows how to get these programs and run them (more numerous, but much easier to stop and detect).
CARDER
Expert in fraud with credit cards. They generate fake numbers and access codes that successfully violate control systems to steal and clone cards.
PHARMER
They are engaged in phishing attacks, where the user believes they are entering a real site and actually enters their data in one created by the hacker. Later they use the credentials to steal funds from the accounts of their victims.
In man-in-the-middle attack the perpetrator takes control of an established connection while it is in progress. The attacker intercepts messages in a public key exchange and then retransmits them, substituting their own public key for the requested one, so that the two original parties still appear to be communicating with each other directly.
In browser hijacking a user is taken to a different site than requested (e.g. gaining access to DNS records on a server, or spoofing valid e-mail accounts and floods the inboxes of the technical and administrative contacts).
In web site hijack the perpetrator simply registers a domain name similar enough to a legitimate one that users are likely to type it, either by mistaking the actual name or through a typo (e.g. sending users to a pornographic site).
