It is also common to find that services which are capable of secure encryption, have either not been configured, or mistakenly configured to be less secure. Encryption isn't flawless though, and frequently weaknesses are discovered in algorithms previously thought secure. Encryption weaknesses The internet relies heavily on encryption for providing secure services, without it for example there could be no online banking.The types of application weakness that Intruder checks for include SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, XML Injection, and many others which attackers can use to gain access to your systems and information, or to modify or cause damage. Application bugs Web application bugs have been known about for decades, but still account for a large proportion of breaches.Passive checks use fingerprinting techniques to determine the software version in use, while active checks dynamically check for known exploits, where it is safe to do so. Intruder’s network security scans use both passive and active checks to detect the versions of thousands of software components, frameworks, and hardware devices, from web servers to operating systems and network devices. Missing patches Patch management is a fundamental part of keeping your digital estate secure, as missing patches can quickly be detected and exploited by attackers.
Intruder has thousands of checks for these kinds of mistakes, making sure all your business sensitive systems are hardened as much as they need to be to survive the warzone that is the modern internet. Simple mistakes such as leaving default passwords, not enabling encryption or other security settings. Common mistakes & configuration weaknesses Even the most secure software can often be configured in an insecure way.
