What is API Management?

Aug 17, 2023 By Noname Security In Noname Security

Given the breadth of their reach, it’s wise for organizations to engage in proactive API management, which keeps APIs running reliably and securely. API management incorporates many different tasks and processes. It spans API creation and API publishing and continues through the full API lifecycle through retirement. API management also involves monitoring APIs for performance and adherence to service level agreements, or SLAs.

What is penetration testing?

Aug 17, 2023 By Noname Security In Noname Security
Penetration testing (or pen testing for short) involves performing simulated, fully authorized attacks on a company’s IT infrastructure and network. These attacks seek to exploit the system’s security loopholes. The objective of the tests is to assess the system’s robustness and preparedness against different types of breaches and glean lessons and insights that ultimately serve to strengthen its security even further.

Noname Security: Seeing the Whole Elephant

Jul 27, 2023 By Filip Verloy In Noname Security

The parable of the blind men and an elephant is a story of a group of blind men who have never encountered an elephant before, and who learn and imagine what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the elephant’s body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then describe the elephant based on their limited experience, and their descriptions of the elephant are different.
