In our increasingly digital world, data is more valuable than ever. From personal emails to financial transactions, sensitive information is constantly in motion. That’s where encryption comes into play. Encryption is the process of converting readable data ( plaintext ) into an unreadable format ( ciphertext ) to prevent unauthorized access. Only those with a secret key can decrypt and read the information. In this blog, we'll break down how encryption works, explore its different types, discuss real-world applications, and highlight why it's a fundamental part of modern cybersecurity. How Does Encryption Work? Encryption uses mathematical algorithms to scramble information. Here’s a basic rundown: Plaintext: Original, readable data (e.g., "Hello World!") Ciphertext: Encrypted, unreadable data (e.g., "7*#0+gvU2x") Key: A code used to encrypt and decrypt data Using a specific algorithm, the plaintext is transformed into ciphertext. When the intended reci...

  A Complete Guide to SOC 2 Compliance Why SOC 2 Matters for Businesses With organizations increasingly outsourcing critical operations to third-party vendors—such as SaaS providers and cloud computing services—data security has never been more important. If mishandled, sensitive data can expose enterprises to cyber threats like data breaches, ransomware, and unauthorized access. SOC 2 compliance ensures that service providers securely manage customer data, protecting both business interests and client privacy. For security-conscious companies, SOC 2 has become a baseline requirement when evaluating potential vendors. What is SOC 2 Compliance? Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) , SOC 2 is an auditing framework that assesses how businesses handle and protect customer data. Unlike rigid compliance standards like PCI DSS, SOC 2 is flexible—allowing companies to tailor controls based on their unique operations while adhering to five core Trust S...

  In the interconnected digital world, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) serve as the cornerstone of innovation, facilitating communication between applications, devices, and users. However, their pervasive use also makes them a frequent target for cyberattacks. This is where API security assessments become indispensable. What is an API Security Assessment ? An API security assessment is a comprehensive evaluation aimed at identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential threats within an API. By systematically examining critical components like authentication, authorization, encryption, rate limiting, and input validation, this process ensures that APIs remain resilient against evolving cyber threats. Key Components of an API Security Assessment Authentication and Authorization Ensures that only verified users and systems can access the API. Evaluates mechanisms like OAuth, JWT, or API keys for flaws. Encryption Assesses the encryption standards used to secur...

  A firewall security review is a comprehensive evaluation and testing of a firewall implemented to safeguard a client’s information, applications, systems, and business operations. This review identifies vulnerabilities specific to the vendor’s solution, susceptibility to connection-based and information-driven attacks, and misconfigurations that may allow attackers to bypass firewall protections. What Can a Firewall Security Review Do for You? Firewalls are sophisticated systems designed to control network connectivity between an organization’s internal network and the Internet. The dynamic nature of business demands often necessitates frequent modifications to firewall configurations, which can inadvertently introduce risks and vulnerabilities. Firewalls require continuous monitoring and assessment to ensure they provide adequate protection for critical business data and operations. Firewall security reviews help organizations: Confirm that firewalls effectively protect sensiti...

  Secure your APIs from attacks with Securis360’s comprehensive API Security Testing & Assessment . Detect vulnerabilities, protect data, and ensure robust API functionality. What is API Security? API Security is vital to secure the functionality of each application to which it provides connectivity services. APIs are the connective strands responsible for communicating information between devices and applications internally and externally. Poorly designed and secured APIs create breach points and security gaps for the application, compromising functional execution. Securing APIs is essential to prevent cybercriminals from exploiting API vulnerabilities.
