Cryptographic Failures are a major security problem. They can lead to data breaches, identity theft, and other serious problems. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has identified ten major failures. These failures can be divided into three categories: Cryptographic design flaws, cryptographic implementation errors and cryptographic key management.
Cryptographic failures are where attackers often target sensitive data, such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal information, when you do not properly protect them. This is the root cause of sensitive data exposure.
A flaw can occur when you do the following: Store or transit data in clear text (most common) Protect data with an old or weak encryption. Improperly filter or mask data in transit.
Here at Pentest People, we are continuously working to mitigate cyber security risks and threats by identifying vulnerabilities in your system’s defences, so that a real-life hacker cant exploit them. We offer Web Application Testing to keep your business safe and secure.
