As we approach two years since the SolarWinds hack that brought supply chain security concerns into the mainstream, we asked Invicti experts what they see as the key lessons so far and what developments to expect in 2023.

How often do websites publicly expose sensitive data? Invicti security researcher Kadir Arslan decided to write a custom security check and see what he could find across the world’s 10,000 most popular sites – and what he found were hundreds of exposed secrets.

Many application vulnerabilities found during testing originate with the web server, not the application itself. Kevin Beaver discusses the importance of web server security.

Injection attacks exploit a variety of vulnerabilities to deliver untrusted user input that is then executed by a web application. Let’s take a look at 5 common types of injection attacks against web apps to see how they work and what you can do to prevent them.

Red team versus blue team exercises simulate real-life cyberattacks against organizations to locate weaknesses and improve information security. The red team are the attackers attempting to infiltrate an organization’s digital and physical defenses. The blue team’s job is to detect penetration attempts and prevent exploitation.

Demonstrating AppSec value to executives can be an uphill battle. This post show how, with the right metrics and planning, getting C-suite buy-in for application security can become much easier.

Authentication and authorization are two cornerstones of modern web application security, but there are many ways to get them wrong. Learn how to identify common security defects and avoid vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to access restricted data and functionality by bypassing authentication, authorization, or both.

After briefly stirring into life as Covid restrictions were lifted, companies and entire economies are again stepping on the brakes as they brace for yet another “current situation.” At the same time, the pandemic has only increased the dependence on web-based systems in all walks of life and business.
