Security

Why Is It Important?

Application security is a blanket term for the protection of all mobile, web, and desktop applications encompassing mobile app security, web app security, cloud app security, and hybrid mobile app security.

There are myriad reasons application security is vital. Large industry groups such as the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) are dedicated to ensuring the security of apps — just as there are entire groups, or collections of groups like Magecart that exist solely to create and exploit app vulnerabilities. No application, operating system, platform, or interface — be it Web, Android, iOS, or anything else — is safe from exploitation by bad actors.

The consequences of not taking adequate app security measures can be catastrophic. An analysis of mobile financial applications by Aite Group, commissioned by Arxan exposed a widespread lack of security across industry. In fact, 97% of mobile financial services applications examined during the study were easily compromised within an average of 8.5 minutes. Such compromises can expose personal information, login credentials, APIs, private encryption keys and more leading to billions of dollars in losses, governmental penalties among other consequences.

ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 Certificates

ISO 27001 Data Security Management System is an international framework helping companies to protect their financial data, intellectual property and sensitive customer information. Thanks to ISO 27001, companies can identify their risks, manage and reduce the risks related to confidential information.

ITserv Teknoloji Hizmetleri, with a long terms study, has integrated ISO 27001 standard with its own processes, and obtained the certificate by passing an independent audit.

The world’s most known quality management standard, IS0 9001 Quality Management System, is a set of standards issued by International Standards Organization (ISO) and developed for corporations to improve their customer satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction is a top priority for ITserv Teknoloji Hizmetleri from its foundation. In this direction, it has obtained ISO 9001 Quality Management Certification by providing services in accordance to their customers’ needs and expectations.

256-bit encryption strength

256-bit encryption

Most people see the term 256-bit encryption bandied about all the time and – if we’re being honest – have absolutely no idea what it means or how strong it is. Once you go beyond the surface-level, “it scrambles data and makes it unreadable,” encryption is an incredibly complicated subject. It’s not a light read. Most of us don’t keep a book about modular exponentiation on the end table beside our beds.

That’s why it’s understandable that there would be some confusion when it comes to encryption strengths, what they mean, what’s “good,” etc. There’s no shortage of questions about encryption – specifically 256-bit encryption.

So, today we’re going to talk about just that. We’ll cover what a bit of security even is, we’ll get into the most common form of 256-bit encryption and we’ll talk about just what it would take to crack encryption at that strength.

AWS Cloud Security

Security in the cloud is similar to security in your on-premises data centers — only without the costs of maintaining facilities and hardware. In the cloud, you don’t have to manage physical servers or storage devices. Instead, you use software-based security tools to monitor and protect the flow of information into and of out of your cloud resources. For this reason, cloud security is a Shared Responsibility between the customer and AWS, where customers are responsible for “security in the cloud” and AWS is responsible for “security of the cloud.”

The AWS cloud allows you to scale and innovate while maintaining a secure environment. As an AWS customer, you will benefit from data centers and network architecture designed to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. AWS infrastructure is custom-built for the cloud and is monitored 24x7 to help protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers’ data.
