How can we use targeted Google searches to uncover low-hanging fruit in cybersecurity? In this episode of Ahead of the Breach, Mike Takahashi, Security Engineering Expert & Leader, shares how Google Dorking is a surprisingly effective method for finding vulnerabilities hidden in plain sight. By using targeted search queries, ethical hackers can uncover sensitive information indexed by Google. It’s an accessible technique that anyone can master, making it a valuable tool in the arsenal of any cybersecurity professional. 🎧 Listen on Apple: https://lnkd.in/gTjX4aRt 🎵 Tune in on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gQpuvaJa 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gYjTQb4p ✍️Read our Blog: https://lnkd.in/gF8_VTXi

Website vulnerabilities put your data and users at risk. From SQLi to data exposure, there are many ways attackers can exploit your site. Let’s break down 6 common vulnerabilities and how to prevent them! 1️⃣ SQL Injection: SQL injection allows attackers to manipulate your database through unsanitized inputs. They can access, modify, or delete sensitive data. Use parameterized queries, prepared statements, and WAFs to safeguard your site. 2️⃣ Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): XSS lets attackers inject malicious scripts into web pages, leading to data theft or unauthorized actions. Prevent it by validating inputs, encoding outputs, and using Content Security Policies (CSP). 3️⃣ Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): CSRF tricks users into performing unintended actions on your site. Mitigate it by using anti-CSRF tokens, SameSite cookie attributes, and multi-factor authentication. 4️⃣ Insecure Authentication & Session Management: Weak authentication and session management lead to unauthorized access. Use multi-factor authentication, secure session handling, and HTTPS to protect your users and data. 5️⃣ Security Misconfigurations: Default settings and incomplete configurations expose sensitive data. Prevent it by conducting regular scans, disabling unnecessary services, and keeping configurations simple and updated. 6️⃣ Sensitive Data Exposure: Sensitive data exposure happens when apps fail to protect personal or financial info. Use AES-256 encryption, secure communication channels, and minimize data collection to keep your users safe.

Why does your website need penetration testing? 🤔 Here are 3 reasons why you should get tested👇 1️⃣ Early Detection of Vulnerabilities: Pentesting helps spot security flaws before they’re exploited. From insecure coding to misconfigurations, these weaknesses are uncovered early. This proactive step protects your web app and data from potential breaches. 2️⃣ Enhances Security Posture: Testing reveals weaknesses and offers actionable steps for improvement. Detailed reports guide businesses in prioritizing security fixes and investments. It also cultivates a culture of security awareness among teams and stakeholders. 3️⃣ Supports Compliance Efforts: Stay compliant with industry standards through regular security assessments. Penetration testing provides evidence of proactive risk management. It also ensures your website adapts to evolving regulations, protecting sensitive data.
