Cyberattackers of today are making their way into every nook and corner of your digital ecosystem, as long as they get to exploit the gap you never thought existed. One such lucrative target these days is your Google Calendar. This…
Isn’t it worse when you get targeted through the one point you least expected? You might have established a comprehensive security plan for almost all possible entry points or vulnerabilities, including firewalls, antivirus software, employee training, and regular software updates.…
Yes, DMARC is an effective authentication protocol that protects your domain against phishing and spoofing attacks. But does it stand a chance against deceptively simple yet dangerously clever cyberattacks like the ones based on lookalike domains? We highly doubt! Not…
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) has been around since 2012, and ever since then, it has become a standard for protecting outgoing emails against impersonation and unauthorized use of a domain. DMARC, when it was first launched, wasn’t…
You might think you know everything about cyberattacks and are well protected against them until the threat actors devise new strategies to infiltrate your systems and cause irreparable damage. This is a vicious cycle that almost everyone who is a…
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is the foundation of your email authentication journey, and if you don’t get it right, you might run the risk of putting your entire domain at the mercy of attackers. That’s exactly what you were trying…
In 2024, the manufacturing industry experienced 25.7% of all cyberattacks, making it one of the top targets. With its heavy reliance on connectivity and data, the industry has become a key focus for cybercriminals. This has propelled the industry leaders…
You never realise how damaging a cyberattack is until you are hit by one. Whether it is a ransomware lockdown or data theft, a cyberattack can turn your entire business upside down. The implications are not just short-lived, like operational…
You have finally implemented DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), you might think that your emails are finally safe from being intercepted, but that’s not always the case. Just because an email passes DKIM authentication doesn’t mean it’s completely safe. Attackers can…
If you are from an IT company, your tech infrastructure is most likely to have OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) as its core components. Together, these protocols allow a secure and seamless user authentication across applications. OAuth 2.0 is…
2024 was the year of grave cyberattacks. It was a year when phishing attacks surged by 4,151%, thanks to AI-generated content and deep-fakes, which helped attackers craft convincing emails and messages. Not to mention the financial toll of these attacks—…
Back in 2024, Google and Yahoo changed the course of email communication. The two giants released a set of regulations that made it compulsory for bulk senders to authenticate their outgoing emails with three key protocols—SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM…
These days, more and more companies use single sign-on or SSO to manage access to their services and applications. This way, they delegate the authentication or authorization process to a trusted third party, allowing users to sign in to different…
So, you have finally set up DMARC to protect your domain from phishing and spoofing attacks and improve deliverability. Does that mean your job is done, and you don’t have to worry about anything anymore? Well, in theory, it should…
Patching is often regarded as one of the standard cybersecurity hygiene measures. Every second article or video talks about applying patches and updates quickly and regularly to keep the systems protected. However, lately, cybersecurity experts have been preaching that patching…
ReliaQuest’s Annual Threat Report for 2024 revealed that once attackers infiltrate a network, they can achieve lateral movement in as little as 27 minutes, with an average time of 48 minutes. This surely sounds scary, but what if a company…
Do your emails actually reach their audience or simply end up in their spam folders, or even worse, don’t reach them at all? Yes, this is very much a possibility! This happens for many reasons, and one of them is…
One email protocol that you can trust to do it all— from authenticating your emails to preventing cyber crooks from impersonating your domain—is DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance). Let’s face it: Cyberattacks are pretty rampant these days, and…
You might assume that ESPs know it all; after all, they are managing your entire email infrastructure. But that’s not always the case. While these service providers excel when it comes to sending and delivering emails efficiently, they don’t always…
Penetration testers can steal a user’s identity without even breaking their password. This is done by simulating a token impersonation attack, which is more like a digital mask. A token is like a backstage pass users get when they log…
The advent of quantum computing is poised to revolutionize various industries, but it also presents significant cybersecurity challenges. Quantum computers have the potential to break current encryption methods, exposing sensitive government, military, and financial data to unprecedented risks. The superior…
DKIM is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail. It is an email authentication protocol that a domain owner implements so that the receiving mail server can verify whether someone has altered the message content in transit. DKIM is very sensitive to…
It’s 2025, and email-based cyberattacks continue to pose as significant financial, reputational, and operational threats to organizations. As per IBM’s recent report, the global average cost of a data breach in 2024 is $4.88 million— a 10% increase over the…
Penetration testing (pen test for short) is an ethical hacking technique in which an attack is officially simulated against a company’s technical infrastructure to know about all the security loopholes a threat actor can exploit. In simpler words, a white-hat…
