Are your APIs secure? Try our new free tool: API Specification Evaluator

Test API specification With the growing footprint of APIs, there is a strong need for secure-by-design APIs. A design blueprint of an API would be a helpful start in determining the security standard of an API. Fortunately, APIs have that blueprint known as an OpenAPI Specification. API Specifications play a crucial role in ensuring the security and functionality of APIs.

ASPM Best Practices for Secure Success

The days where applications were monoliths built of proprietary code, and releases were set quarterly are no more. Instead, they have been replaced by fast paced development sprints, with software created using plenty of code from open-source repositories. The growing complexities of software development and the associated risks have far exceeded the abilities of traditional application security.

Introducing kntrl: Enhancing CI/CD Security with eBPF

CI/CD pipelines are formed by a series of steps that automate the process of software delivery. They integrate the practices of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) along with the tools, platforms, and repositories that enable them. Their goal is to simplify, streamline and automate large parts of the software development process.
