SaaS APIs typically require some kind of authentication to allow access. While there are many ways that APIs can implement authentication, one popular choice is using secret keys as the scheme. Exposing secret keys directly to a client application however can create security risks, so how can client applications based on libraries like React securely access SaaS services? Many APIs, including Ably, offer an additional client-oriented token authentication system.

Mobile banking has become integral to our daily lives, offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility. However, as the usage of mobile banking apps continues to grow, so do the threats from cybercriminals. In a world where personal and financial data is at risk, mobile banking apps must prioritize security. In August 2021, US-based T-Mobile experienced a cyberattack where a 21-year-old stole data from approximately 50 million current customers and potential prospects.

In the past, enterprise software focused on protecting network access through on-premises firewalls and VPNs, working on the assumption that everything within the network was secure. However, today, as accessing data has extended beyond on-premises locations to cloud and hybrid networks, SaaS platforms require a security model that can address a broader range of attack vectors. Zero Trust security addresses this pressing need.

In today’s data-rich world where large volumes of data exchange have become frequent, ensuring the data transfer mechanism is safe and secure is essential. Data security is of utmost importance, and the data transfer tool you select should provide data encryption. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is one such file transfer mechanism that businesses can leverage to securely transfer files between users and locations, regardless of their network or device type.

The Managed Detection & Response (MDR) industry finds itself in a new era with unprecedented challenges from platform giants and the migration of the attack surface to the cloud, with innovation becoming a requirement for survival. Companies built to provide clients with 24×7 “eyes on glass” now find themselves at the intersection of rapid technological advancements and evolving threat landscapes.

Organizations face growing demands to drive innovation, swiftly create new applications, and embrace emerging technologies (like SMACT) to maintain a competitive edge and stay ahead of the curve. In tandem with this, adopting DevOps practices and open-source code libraries significantly accelerates the pace at which applications are being developed, delivered, and maintained, albeit with the inherent invitation of various security risks.

In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, the critical importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated. Analysts worldwide are tirelessly discussing the evolving landscape of security, cyber assurance, and the challenges faced across various industries. This blog aims to shed light on the prevailing discourse in the realm of cybersecurity while highlighting how Cigniti is pioneering solutions to counter these challenges.

Discover how API management and service mesh can go hand in hand toward secured platforms Over the last ten years, Kongers have witnessed hundreds of companies adopting a full lifecycle API management platform and have been working with the people behind the scenes, the “API tribes.” We’ve also learned from the field that API tribes most often have to deal with heterogeneous platforms, infrastructures, and clouds.

You’ve probably heard of the Internet of Things (IoT); all those everyday objects that incorporate computing functions. For example, the IoT allows you to connect your phone to your refrigerator. This way, you can know exactly what to buy at the supermarket for that impromptu dinner that night. Perhaps you’re part of a DevOps team, using microservices and containers to build and deploy legacy and cloud-native applications quickly and iteratively.

Secure FTP (SFTP) is a powerful protocol that businesses can use to improve collaboration, increase efficiency, and safeguard sensitive information. By using SFTP, businesses can securely transfer files between users and locations, regardless of their network or device type. This can help improve productivity and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. In this article, we’ll discuss what is SFTP, how it works, its benefits, and how to set up SFTP for your business.
