Every organization has to be connected to the Internet if it is to compete successfully in the business world of today. There must be no doubt whatsoever that this gives organizations of every type significant challenges as the virus writers and hackers of yesterday are forever finding new methods of mounting very effective Internet-borne attacks. Cyber crime is now a reality!
The threat from outside the organization is only part of the problem. Information assets are also under threat from within and some say as much as 65% of the problem is as a direct result of attacks mounted by so-called trusted employees.
This means that the challenge is no longer just a perimeter security issue but one that goes to the heart of where data is kept and how that data is made available to those who need it in order to conduct legitimate business. Loss of intellectual property from a database of customers to confidential or secret designs and plans is a massive issue for all organizations who do not take the right steps to secure this data.
Furthermore, organizations today are faced with many statutory legislation and compliance standards that require policies to be put in place to ensure that risks are mitigated as effectively as possible.
Part of the solution may be to deploy technology wherever a threat or risk has been identified. Security Matterz has a range of leading-edge technology that can be deployed to meet not only the security but also the compliance needs of most types of organization.
Log Injection problems are a subset of injection problem, in which invalid entries taken from user input are inserted in logs or audit trails, allowing an attacker to mislead administrators or cover traces of attack. Log injection can also sometimes be used to attack log monitoring systems indirectly by injecting data that monitoring system will misinterpret.
A Vulenrability is a hole or a weakness in the application, which can be a design flaw or an implementation bug, that allows an attacker to cause harm to the stakeholders of an application. Stakeholders include the application owner, application users, and other entities that rely on the application. The term "vulnerability" is often used very loosely. However, here we need to distinguish threats, attacks, and countermeasures.
