From a technical perspective, email is today one of the best secured application-layer protocols. TLS transport encryption is a standard, DKIM signatures are widespread, and DMARC enables real enforcement of domain identity policy. Despite this, incident statistics remain unforgiving. Email is still responsible for the largest number of successful phishing attacks and security breaches resulting […]
E-mail has remained both one of the oldest and most exposed channels of business communication for years. The SMTP protocol was created in a time when the internet assumed trust between the sender and the recipient. Today the reality is different. Attackers use email messages to take over accounts, extort payments, steal data and manipulate […]
With the end of October, celebrated worldwide as Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we summarize HEXSSL’s initiatives promoting cybersecurity and digital resilience. The year 2025 clearly demonstrates that online security is no longer the domain of IT departments alone – it has become a key element of every organization’s business strategy, regardless of size.
In the era of increasing cyberattacks, ransomware, and phishing, individual security solutions are no longer enough. An SSL/TLS certificate is now the starting point – not the goal itself. To effectively protect a website, user data, and brand reputation, it is essential to build a cohesive online security ecosystem that includes encryption, trust verification, malware […]
In the era of advanced automation and data encryption, it is not technology but the human factor that remains the weakest link in the security chain. According to ENISA and IBM Cybersecurity reports, over 82% of all successful attacks start with human error – most often clicking a malicious link, opening an attachment, or providing […]
Cybersecurity has long ceased to be a purely technical matter and has become a strategic element of every organization’s operations – regardless of its size or industry. The growing scale of attacks, increasingly sophisticated techniques used by cybercriminals, and global digitalization make resilience against cyber threats one of the key factors of competitive advantage.
The “Phishing and Fraud” report, prepared by Webroot and F5 Lab, indicates that the autumn-winter period is particularly favored by cybercriminals. During this time, the number of crimes committed increases by as much as half. A particularly noticeable rise in attacks can be observed in December and January.
Online security has been a hot topic in recent years. It might seem that everyone has come across information on the subject and is aware of the dangers lurking online. Common sense and sticking to a few basic principles should be enough to ward off most risks. However, it turns out that hackers attack relentlessly, […]
Although it’s already been over a month since Black Friday and Cyber Monday, their effects can still be felt online. Unfortunately, it’s not about promotions, discounts, or other positive marketing activities, but rather a series of threats related to online security.
Most of us regularly use the internet: we visit social networking sites, shop online, check our email, and log into our bank accounts. During these activities, we provide contact details, our home address, usernames, and passwords. However, we are not always aware that the security of our data may be at risk, and that illegally […]
