SSL misconfigurations, prevalent across many organizations, pose substantial risks to web application security. With over half of websites displaying inadequate security due to these issues, they represent major vulnerabilities in an organization's infrastructure. Common misconfigurations include outdated encryption protocols and expired certificates, which can facilitate attacks like man-in-the-middle (MITM). Properly managing SSL certificates is essential for reducing potential entry points for cyber attackers and enhancing overall cybersecurity resilience. Utilizing an effective External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform can aid in identifying and rectifying these configuration issues to safeguard data and applications.
SSL certificates play a crucial role in protecting data transmission, but misconfigurations such as expired certificates or weak algorithms create vulnerabilities that increase an organization's attack surface.
Leading research shows that over half of websites have inadequate security due to SSL misconfigurations, which remain one of the most prevalent vulnerabilities in web applications.
