Advanced persistent threats (APTs) use sophisticated tools and techniques to breach systems and maintain access—all while remaining undetected. Unlike other cyberattacks, APTs work over an extended period, using more resources to achieve specific objectives, such as stealing sensitive data or bringing down operations ... Read More

Cyberthreats are evolving fast, and staying ahead requires more than basic defenses. Threat detection and response (TDR) equips you to identify risks early and take action before they escalate. It’s a strategy for protecting your systems, preserving customer trust, and keeping your organization resilient against ever-changing threats ... Read More

Poor code quality can jeopardize your application’s performance and scalability. But more importantly, security vulnerabilities in code increase the risk of exploits, leading to data breaches, compliance failures, and loss of customer trust.  ... Read More

Securing applications from vulnerabilities starts with analyzing your source code before it becomes a problem. This is where static application security testing (SAST) steps in ... Read More

Encryption is a powerful tool for safeguarding sensitive data, but its effectiveness hinges on proper security. Encryption keys are at the heart of any good security strategy—but without effective encryption key management, you might experience unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance failures ...

Modern software development uses open-source components to save time and resources. But with that efficiency comes security issues. Open-source code can carry vulnerabilities or licensing issues that put your software—and the sensitive data it handles—at risk ... Read More

Privilege escalation is a critical cybersecurity threat in which a user—usually a malicious actor—gains access to data beyond what their account permissions allow. Attackers can gain this access through human error, stolen credentials, or social engineering.  ... Read More

As software development accelerates, the need to identify threats and respond in real time is greater than ever. Detection as Code (DaC) allows you to write, maintain, and automate your threat detection logic as if it were software code, making security a built-in part of the development pipeline ... Read More

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is a powerful platform for orchestrating containers in complex, distributed environments. Among its many features, Kubernetes has Secrets, which safeguard sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and tokens in a cluster. By separating confidential data from application code, Kubernetes Secrets reduce the risk of exposure ... Read More

Every application is susceptible to attacks, but web applications are more vulnerable than others. They interact with more networks and users—and every interaction is a risk. Any flaws or errors can lead to serious problems like unauthorized access, stolen data, and service disruptions. Whether you run a small team or ... Read More
