Cybersprint 5-year anniversary

The web is in a continuous state of dynamic development, with websites being created, updated, and deleted every day. These websites are the digital equivalent of a rented property. Similar to physical properties, visitors will need a precise address to visit you.

It's the term we use the most: Digital Footprint. It is the foundation of your organisation’s digital infrastructure. It’s the starting point of your IT security policies, configuration database management, vulnerability mitigation, and much more. In this blog, we’ll shortly describe what drives the need for a Digital Footprint solution, share our definition of the term, and explain how it minimises the risks to your brand.

APIs (Application Programming Interface) are used by applications to communicate and interact between systems, access data, and much more. It makes sure you get the correct response on a request. However, if someone were to intercept this request-response, they could potentially misuse the data or alter the process. Cyber-criminals scan the internet for unsecured APIs on a daily basis. If not properly secured, this can lead to unauthorised access to internal data or customer information. What’s more, in some cases it allows tampering with data directly from an exposed API. This technical article focuses on mapping and discovering Swagger APIs throughout the EU. We will present how we discovered those APIs and checked for misconfigured examples. We will illustrate each step using screenshots, present the results, and provide defensive recommendations. Research conducted by Soufian El Yadmani, Security Analyst at Cybersprint The interactive map below shows how many Swagger APIs we found, and in which region. You can click, drag and zoom to see how many Swagger APIs were found in your area.
