The State of Startups Security in Pakistan
The security team at BlockApex decided to test these applications for vulnerabilities that could compromise their data. We knew that the software industry in Pakistan always keeps security out of their toolkit to reduce the cost of development.
Social Engineering: Classification & Prevention
Social Engineering is an art, where an attacker manipulates people to extract confidential information. That information could be used in various ways by criminals. Individuals are targeted to install malicious software that could give cybercriminals access to their operating systems,
Red, Blue & Purple Team: Attacker, Defender & Facilitator
The purple team exercises allow for regular testing of controls to ensure they still function as expected. Combining red and blue functions also means that the blue team does not have to learn the red-team skills, or take the time to recreate attack behaviors themselves.
Rise & Fall of Proof of Work: Is Proof Of Stake The Inevitable Answer?
Consensus algorithms are undoubtedly a major building block of blockchain technology. By definition, no single party can control the operation of a blockchain network, so consensus algorithms are relied on to achieve a common agreement.
Off-Chain Security: A Rising Reason For Recent Hacks?
An off-chain transaction deals with values outside the blockchain and can be completed using a lot of methods. To carry out any kind of transaction, both functioning entities should first be in agreement, after that a third-party comes into the picture to validate it.
Remote Work & Cybersecurity Risks
It is crucial to come up with innovative solutions against cyberattacks, especially when your workforce is remotely working. Since we know that remote work comes with a bunch of security risks, it is essential to cater to them.
