As cyber-attacks increasingly focus on application-layer disruptions, the importance of application security has never been more vital. Weak application security represents significant control deficiencies that can potentially compromise sensitive data, reporting, and regulatory compliance.

Application Security Assessment is a unique area of assessment that analyzes the security of your organization’s internal and public-facing applications, APIs, and mobile apps.

WCG’s Application Security Assessment Services help organizations determine whether your off-the-shelf or custom application software contains vulnerabilities that can be exploited. We evaluate applications to minimize the risk of information leakage, authentication and session management breaches, spoofing, impersonation, command injections and denial of service attacks.

The Biden administration has announced a ban on the sale of software made by Russia's Kaspersky Labs in the US, citing national security concerns.

The ban, announced last Thursday, will stop the sale, resale, and licensing of Kaspersky products in the US. This affects many customers, including critical infrastructure providers and state and local governments. The ban will start on 29 September, giving businesses a 100-day window to find alternative solutions.

Alongside the ban, the Biden administration is adding Kaspersky to a trade restriction list, stopping US suppliers from selling to the company. This is expected to hurt Kaspersky's reputation and potentially affect its sales overseas.

According to NBC News, Ascension, the largest Catholic hospital chain in the U.S. was hit by a attack last month. The successfully infiltrated the network and stole files from seven of the thousands of servers. Since May 8, the electronic system managing patients' medical records has been largely inaccessible at Ascension Wisconsin hospitals, clinics, and other locations.

How did Ascension get hacked? In a statement released, Ascension revealed that an employee at one of their facilities mistakenly downloaded a file containing malware, believing it to be legitimate.

The Ascension ransomware incident underscores several critical lessons for healthcare organizations:

- Disaster Recovery and Data Resiliency: It is imperative for healthcare organizations to establish robust disaster recovery processes and ensure the resilience of their data systems. This includes regular backups, testing of backup restoration procedures, and having contingency plans in place to mitigate the impact of ransomware attacks or other cyber incidents.
- Security Measures: This involves implementing security best practices such as regular vulnerability assessments, network monitoring for suspicious activities, and ensuring systems are patched and up-to-date with security updates.
- Employee Training and Awareness: Comprehensive security training should be conducted regularly across all levels of the organization. Employees need to be aware of phishing techniques, malware risks, and proper handling of sensitive data. This awareness can significantly reduce the likelihood of incidents caused by human error.

According to Lincoln, a woman was scammed out of nearly $9,000 after falling for a scam on May 8th. Before utilizing the PayPal app for transactions, it is essential to familiarize yourself with potential scams that may occur on the money management platform. Are you aware of the latest PayPal in 2024 and how to prevent them?

① PayPal tech support or customer service scam: pretend to be PayPal employees to lull users.
➡️Prevention: Keep in mind that genuine support teams are there to assist you only upon your request, and they won't ever request payment to resolve an issue. Only communicate with customer service through an official app or website.

② PayPal verification scam: Fake verification scams mostly use phishing emails.
➡️Prevention: Visit the PayPal website or app to verify your information securely instead of clicking on a link in an email.

③ PayPal invoice scam: Cybercriminals create realistic invoices to trick users into paying for products or services neither desired nor received.
➡️Prevention: Examine invoices using the PayPal app or website. If any purchases seem unfamiliar, refer to your order history. Should discrepancies arise, promptly reach out to the seller for clarification.
