Continuing to my recent badge collection! Just completed the "API Security for PCI Compliance" course at APIsec University! This course thoroughly reviewed the new PCI DSS 4.0 standard, focusing on its requirements for securing APIs—critical for any software handling cardholder data. Learned about the specific obligations introduced in DSS 4.0 for API security and gained valuable best practices for compliance and enhancing API protection. #Automotive #Cybersecurity #APIsecurity #PCIDSS #Compliance View my verified achievement on Credly by Pearson: https://lnkd.in/d4_wfKib

VMware is urging administrators to remove a deprecated and vulnerable Enhanced Authentication Plug-in (EAP), due to its association with a high-severity vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-22245 (9.6/10 CVSSv3 base score) and CVE-2024-22250 (7.8/10). This vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems where the plugin is installed. 💻 Are you ready to take the next step?

SS7 Vulnerabilities and the Threat to OTP Systems The Signaling System 7 (SS7) protocol, a critical element of telecommunication networks, has inherent security weaknesses that attackers can exploit. These vulnerabilities can be leveraged to compromise two-factor authentication (2FA) systems that rely on one-time passwords (OTPs) sent via SMS. Here's how SS7 attacks can bypass OTP security: * Intercepting OTPs: Attackers can exploit SS7 flaws to intercept SMS messages containing OTPs, effectively rendering 2FA useless. * SIM Swapping: By manipulating SS7 signaling, attackers can redirect calls and messages to a SIM card they control, enabling them to receive OTPs meant for the victim. Mitigating SS7 Risks: While SS7 vulnerabilities pose a significant challenge, telecom operators and users can take steps to mitigate the risks: * Network Upgrades: Telecom companies can implement security measures like encryption and stronger authentication protocols. * MFA Alternatives: Consider using authentication apps or hardware tokens that are less susceptible to SS7 attacks. Raising Awareness: Understanding SS7 vulnerabilities is crucial for businesses and individuals who rely on OTP-based 2FA. By staying informed and implementing robust security practices, we can collectively safeguard telecommunication infrastructure. #SS7 #SecurityAwareness #Telecom #OTP #2FA

Develop good habits (tip): "Service accounts" are privileged accounts on your network often with passwords that never expire, and are never changed. Service accounts with perpetual passwords pose serious security risks. Adversaries will try to exploit these known passwords. Humans tend to repeat password habits, potentially compromising security across organisations. Don't risk being hacked due to shared vendors or former employees. Stay vigilant. Below is an example of small automations you can implement with IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault to protect your service accounts: https://lnkd.in/gMQzGG6f #ibmsecurity #cybersecurity #secretsmanagement

For those users of IBM Security Verify Bridge for Directory Sync here's some fresh guidance on how to shore up service account security. Thanks Timothy Dilbert.

🚨 Important Update for Website Administrators 🚨 DigiCert, a major certificate authority, is set to revoke thousands of SSL/TLS certificates due to a domain validation error. This oversight in the DNS-based verification process affects approximately 0.4% of applicable domain validations. Impacted customers must reissue their certificates within 24 hours to comply with the CA/Browser Forum (CABF) rules. 🔍 What Happened? DigiCert discovered that a crucial step in its domain validation process was inadvertently removed during system modernization efforts. This error, which went undetected due to limitations in regression testing, requires immediate action to prevent potential security risks. 📌 Next Steps for Affected Customers: Log in to your DigiCert CertCentral account. Identify affected certificates. Reissue or rekey the impacted certificates. Complete any additional required validation steps. Install the newly issued SSL/TLS certificates. DigiCert is committed to assisting customers through this process to ensure minimal disruption. For more details, you can read the full article here.
