In the dynamic world of software development, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) serve as essential conduits, facilitating seamless interaction between software components. This intermediary interface not only streamlines development but also empowers software teams to reuse code. However, the increasing prevalence of APIs in modern business comes with security challenges.

Application Security Testing (AST) encompasses various tools, processes, and approaches to scanning applications to uncover potential security issues. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) are popularly used security testing approaches that follow different methodologies of scanning application codes across different stages of a software development lifecycle.

Unlike in the 1800s when a safety brake increased the public’s acceptance of elevators, artificial intelligence (AI) was accepted by the public much before guardrails came to be. “ChatGPT had 1 million users within the first five days of being available,” shares Forbes.

In today’s world, the importance of incorporating web application security best practices cannot be overstated. Recent studies show that web applications are the top attack vector in nearly 80% of incidents. The good news is DevOps processes lend themselves to integrated security practices. Here are the top six best practices for seamlessly weaving web application security into DevOps.

As a CISO, securing web applications and ensuring their resilience against evolving cyber threats is a non-negotiable priority. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report 2023 cites web applications as the top attack vector by a long shot (in both breaches and incidents). Here’s a simplified checklist for securing web applications that will help you improve your organization’s security posture and the integrity of your technology.

As a software engineer in a cloud-native world, you’re the first line of defense in web application security. Armed with a few best practices that have a huge impact, securing both the code you create and the code you compile can be simple. Here are five tips that make your role easier in protecting data with secure development.

To secure our world, Cybersecurity Awareness Month encourages four steps that make it easy to stay safe online. As a CISO, my team and I advocate for these practices constantly within our organization. If you are a security practitioner looking to bolster cybersecurity awareness, here’s a brief look at how we explain these steps to help make staying safe online easier. Before we dive in, making cybersecurity practices relatable and clear is key to the adoption at any organization.

Webp is the backbone of the webp extension. Any image that is saved to the webp image format most likely was created using the webp library. The library was released in 2010 by Google.

New software security data demonstrates that Software Composition Analysis (SCA) will help bolster the safety and integrity of open-source software usage for organizations in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region in particular. The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes this research especially crucial and timely. Let’s dive in and look at recommendations for EMEA teams wanting to secure cloud-native development.
