Fundamentals of Secure Software - Cryptographic Failures

The video tutorial discusses cryptographic failures and the types of sensitive data organizations handle, such as PII, PHI, and financial information. It highlights common causes of cryptographic failures, including data transmitted in clear text, weak encryption algorithms, and poor implementation. The tutorial also covers defenses against these failures, emphasizing the importance of protecting data at rest and in motion, using authenticated encryption, and ensuring good code hygiene. Examples of cryptographic failures and their consequences are provided, along with strategies to mitigate these risks.
