In an associate economy where data is associate with rising world currency, software package vulnerabilities and security breaches are naturally a big area of concern. data breaches’ costs are countable at a mean of $3.86 million for a non-public breach, and $1.5 trillion in total worth. whereas some reports advocate lower figures, there isn't any discussion that such vulnerabilities may finish in astronomically losses if left unattended. At constant time, as we've got an inclination to recently learned from the Cloudflare breach, data breaches became extra distinguished and fewer predictable, and even security corporations get hacked.


In light-weight of these developments, it's no surprise that cyber security has become one among the foremost vital subjects usually mentioned in board rooms. as a result of the economic, reputational and legal costs of data breaches grow apace, the observe of exposing cyber vulnerabilities and “bugs” has evolved from an internal quality assurance technique to a booming industry: a “bug bounty economy” emerged. Governments and corporations enact vulnerability rewards programs at intervals that they pay millions to individual security consultants worldwide for preforming adversarial analysis and exposing important vulnerabilities, previously uncovered by the organization’s internal checks and quality assurance.

Bug Bounty Programs proactively invite security researchers from around the world to reveal the company’s vulnerabilities in exchange for monetary and, typically extra considerably, reputational rewards. If adequate report mechanisms are in place, Bug Bounty Programs may perform an additional security layer, associate external observation system, and provide management and directors with essential data relating to cyber vulnerabilities.

When it was known that a WEP network could be hacked by any kid with a laptop and a network connection (using easy peasy tutorials like those on our blog), the security guys did succeed in making a much more robust security measure WPA/WPA2. Now hacking WPA/WPA2 is a very tedious job in most cases. A dictionary attack may take days, and still might not succeed. Also, good dictionaries are huge. An exhaustive bruteforce including all the alphabets (uppercase lowercase) and numbers, may take years, depending on password length. Rainbow tables are known to speed things up, by completing a part of the guessing job beforehand, but the output rainbow table that needs to be downloaded from the net is disastrously large (can be 100s of GBs sometimes).

With this in mind, a new security measure was introduced to compliment WPA. Wifi Protected Set

Even though the launch Is not yet confirmed, for Samsung to be able to compete in this niche they will have to focus on the potential customers who opt for more affordable kind of appro
