What Are Cryptographic Failures?

Cryptographic Failures — formerly known as "Sensitive Data Exposure" — are the #2 web application security risk in the OWASP Top 10. In this quick breakdown, we’ll show how weak or missing encryption can expose user credentials, credit card data, and more. 🚫 Storing passwords in plain text? Using HTTP instead of HTTPS? That’s how attackers win. ✅ Protect your app with: - TLS 1.3 (for secure transmission) - Strong password hashing (bcrypt, Argon2) - Zero custom cryptography 🎥 Subscribe to Silver Back Info Sec for more cybersecurity breakdowns, OWASP tutorials, and application security insights. #OWASPTop10 #CyberSecurity #Encryption #WebSecurity #InfoSec #DevSecOps #CryptographicFailures #SilverBackInfoSec #Shorts
