HTTPS: The Myth of Secure Encrypted Traffic Exposed

February 5, 2019 | 96 views

The S in HTTPS is supposed to mean that encrypted traffic is secure. For attackers, it just means that they have a larger attack surface from which to launch assaults on the applications to exploit the security vulnerabilities. How should organizations respond? Most web traffic is encrypted to provide better privacy and security. By 2018, over 70% of webpages are loaded over HTTPS. Radware expects this trend to continue until nearly all web traffic is encrypted. The major drivers pushing adoption rates are the availability of free SSL certificates and the perception that clear traffic is insecure.

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | August 8, 2022

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Radware Snaps Up ShieldSquare for New Bot Management Product Line

SDxCentral | January 07, 2019

ShieldSquare, founded in 2014, is a security firm that specializes in bot management. It delivers an API-based service that can detect and eliminate “bad bots” from websites, mobile applications, and APIs. The technology detects bots and relies on a cloud engine to classify visitor activity as either human, search engine crawler, or bad bots to secure the application. Bot management — according to Michael Groskop, Radware’s vice president of product management portfolio — refers to the detection of malicious bot activity and the practice of mitigating bot attacks by differentiating legitimate flows from bots. It also must allow differentiation between good and bad bots. He noted that as bots grow more sophisticated, bot management must include “advanced behavioral detection and intent analysis,” delivered with machine learning, which ShieldSquare provides. ShieldSquare technology will be offered as a new product line called Radware Bot Manager. The product line will integrate with Radware’s additional attack migration products, particularly its web application firewall (WAF) cloud services. Groskop said it selected ShieldSquare for its machine learning capabilities, the way it expands its existing security services, and the “strong technology synergy” between the two firms. Additionally, he said that ShieldSquare’s technology “sets a stronger path for us in the context of API and mobile application protection.” The new product line of bot management technology will boast a number of tools. This includes an out-of-path, inline-capable bot detection engine, deep behavior analysis that identifies attack intent and stops automated attacks, and anti-bot feeds to allow both proactive and preventive bot management.
