API security is one of the most important aspects of cybersecurity. The rise of new technologies like microservices, cloud-native applications, IoT devices, single-page applications, serverless, and mobile has led to increased use of APIs. Any internal application elements are now APIs connecting with one other through a network. A game API lets your applications and web services communicate with one another and share information such as rules, settings, specs, and data.

In a previous post, we presented a step-by-step tutorial on how to publish Node.js Docker images to GitHub Packages registry using GitHub Actions. In this post, we’ll focus on publishing the Docker image that we build to the public Docker Hub registry. Why is this useful you might ask? The Docker command line application docker has a default registry setting for docker.io which points to the Docker Hub registry.

Technology has shaped the world magnificently and has become a driving force for businesses and organisations. From academia to big enterprises, everyone is enjoying the perks of technological advancement in the form of applications, IoT devices, online shopping and businesses, portals, etc. including amateur to non-technical people, everyone now utilises some form of a networked-enabled communication system such as email, social media, etc.

Doxing is the act of publishing private or identifying information about an individual or organization on the internet. Doxing is short for Dropping Dox (documents), and it only has negative connotations. The intention of doxers is to harass victims by revealing information that's either incriminating, defamatory or just immensely embarrassing. Doxing is sometimes spelled as Doxxing.

PGP encryption (Pretty Good Encryption) is a data encryption program used to authenticate and provide cryptographic privacy for data transfers. PGP encryption is used to secure all forms of data and digital transmissions. It's capable of encrypting and decrypting: PGP is a quick-to-implement and cost-effective encryption method.

Are you an organization that operates a Bulk Power System (BPS) in the United States? If so, you understand the need to comply with the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards. Developed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), CIP is a set of requirements through which in-scope entities can protect themselves against digital attacks, thereby strengthening the reliability of the U.S. electric grid overall.

In its Interagency Report 7695, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defined an application as “a system for collecting, saving, processing, and presenting data by means of a computer.” This broad term covers enterprise applications, consumer applications, and even phone apps. Security is important in all these types of applications, but the focus is not always the same. Let’s explore how below.

Recently, Facebook announced a new initiative aimed at protecting how its users’ data is managed across its platforms: the Data Protection Assessment. The assessment consists of a questionnaire for apps that access advanced permissions and specifically focuses on how developers protect, share and use platform data.

If you are dealing with vulnerability management, chances are you’ve been wondering if there is a better way to store, manage, and link Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) scan data. The answer is yes! With Ignyte’s machine learning capabilities. The new SCAP module, recently released by Ignyte Assurance Platform, reimagines the user-friendly interface to visualize and compare scan data in one place, as well as track changes and progress over time.

The National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have published comprehensive recommendations for strengthening the security of an organization’s Kubernetes system to help companies make their Kubernetes environment more difficult to compromise. This 52-page cybersecurity technical report offers practical guidance for admins to manage Kubernetes securely, focusing on the common three sources for a compromised Kubernetes environment.
