The nomenclature around AI impact assessments and its relationship to other evaluations of AI are unsettled. Some Organizations use “AI risk assessment” and “AI impact assessment” interchangeably, while others distinguish them from each other. There are disagreements between organizations that differentiate between AI risk and impact assessments regarding their relationship to each other. The term [...]
One of the most straightforward and effective ways for an organization to prioritize vulnerability response and protect from being compromised is by focusing on vulnerabilities already being actively exploited in the wild. E Com Security Solutions Vulnerability Response Playbook standardizes the high-level process Organizations can follow when responding to these urgent and high-priority vulnerabilities. It [...]
Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into lines of code. They are stored and executed on a blockchain, ensuring the contract is automatically enforced when the conditions are met. The below Smart contract security guidelines refer to the measures and practices implemented to protect smart contracts from vulnerabilities, [...]
As the name already suggests, DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is a decentralized, autonomous, and organized organization. It is an automated whole organization. It stores rules and processes in code. DAOs are often stateless and distributed over millions of computers. No single government could decide to take it down. The below audit guidelines refer to the [...]
Decentralized finance (DeFi) is an emerging model for organizing and enabling cryptocurrency-based transactions, exchanges and financial services. DeFi's core premise is no centralized authority to dictate or control operations. This is a different approach than the traditional models of finance for fiat currency or centralized finance (CeFi) within the cryptocurrency markets. With centralized models, there [...]
Cyberattacks can cost millions to resolve and make headline news. The attack surfaces keep expanding as organizations connect assets, allow remote work, and promote virtual customer engagement. It's hard to keep up in today's intense threat landscape. How are organizations weathering this complexity? The E Com Security Solutions survey set out to uncover the answers [...]
Securing all your APIs is difficult. It’s even more complicated when your keys and tokens are exposed involuntarily in real-world settings, from APIs to frontends. Your organization is now prone to data breach risks and severe financial implications. E Com Security Solutions study reveals that API secret sprawl extends across various websites, industries, and domain [...]
APIs come in many flavours, including REST, SOAP, graphQL, gRPC, and WebSockets, and each has its use cases and common vulnerabilities. The issues covered in this guide can occur in any API. Regardless of which technology you have used to implement your API, read on to find out what you can do today to address [...]
One of the key reasons for application vulnerabilities is a lack of secure design, development, implementation, and operations. Relying solely on post-development audits for security is inadequate. Instead, security must be an inherent and integral aspect seamlessly integrated into the application's design and development lifecycle. Organizations should incorporate secured application development practices, and application owners [...]
Application security is a multilayered approach that requires a combination of technical controls, secure development practices, user awareness, and proactive monitoring. It should be considered at the earliest stage of the software development lifecycle. Threat modelling evaluates information affecting an application's security and organizes it into a structured representation to define effective countermeasures to mitigate [...]
