In recent years, the way we generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request) has undergone a revolution. A few years ago, a CSR was one of the least problematic elements of the certificate issuance process – a simple text file in which you entered a domain, optionally the company details, generated a key, and that was it. […]
Organizational project OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) has for many years published the Top 10 list of the most critical web application security risks. It serves as a key reference point for developers, auditors, DevSecOps operations, and IT departments. The version OWASP Top 10 2021 has been widely adopted and is becoming a foundation […]
From us: With this article, we begin a new series of publications on our website: HEXSSL Insight. These will be extensive articles containing our expertise supported by numerous examples from our own experience. We hope that the information contained in these articles will help you better understand all aspects related to broadly defined online security. […]
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.
Websites today operate using one universal currency: trust. This is not a metaphor or a marketing slogan. It is cold economics, where every second of user attention costs money, and decisions are made faster than we can consciously analyze a situation. Online business owners have been hearing for years that they must have SSL, otherwise […]
Digital trust has become today’s currency – determining conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, and the ability to perform financial transactions. Two key pillars of this trust are the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) – a global identifier for legal entities – and SSL/TLS certificates, which ensure confidentiality and integrity of communication. Below we explain how to […]
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 […]
In a world of growing digitization and automation, web application security has become one of the most critical areas of IT risk management. OWASP Top 10 is a ranking of the ten most significant security risks for web applications, published periodically by the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project). This document is recognized as a […]
In today’s global digital economy, systems that enable the unambiguous identification of legal entities worldwide are becoming increasingly important. One such solution is the LEI – Legal Entity Identifier, an international identifier for financial institutions, companies, and other entities participating in economic transactions.
