Outsourcing, digitization, and globalization have created new products and services, increased specialization, lowered costs, and improved access for customers and organizations alike.

In fact, a recent study by the Ponemon Institute and IBM put the average cost of a data breach at $3.92 million.
Whether you're making API calls from Node.js or in the browser, connection failures are going to happen eventually. Some request errors are valid. Maybe the endpoint was wrong or the client sent the wrong data. Other times you can be sure that the error is the result of a problem with the connection to the server or one of the many hops in-between. While API and web service monitoring can inform you about the problem, a more active solution can take care of it for you.
What’s happened? Well, Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) happened. Okay, smart alec. I know about that. What else is going on? Well, because so many people are (wisely) staying at home, they’re using videoconferencing and chat technology like Zoom to keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues.

Organizations have placed a lot of time, effort and capital spend on security initiatives in an effort to prevent security breaches and data loss. Even the most advanced “next generation” application layer firewalls filtering malicious traffic at the network perimeter has only revealed equal if not greater threats within.
No one wants to be a victim of payment card fraud, yet more of us are falling foul to the myriad of techniques used by hackers to steal payment card information and use it for their own gain. To mitigate this malicious activity, it is vital that eCommerce sites apply security measures that protect consumers and sellers alike from carding and other major bot threats.
There’s no denying that SSH is the de facto tool for *nix server administration. It’s far from perfect, but it was designed with security in mind and there’s been a huge amount of tooling written over the years to make it easier to use. In addition, many popular products and just about every server deployment system integrates with SSH somehow.
In 2020, both big and small companies alike are embracing pen-testing as a solution to ensure the quality and availability of their mission-critical communication systems and data storage.
