  • Web Application Firewalls (WAFs): The Evolving First Line of Defense in Cloud Security

    Modern applications are built for speed, not simplicity. Containers, microservices, and cloud-native deployments have blown up the security perimeter. Traditional tools can’t keep up with this complexity. That’s why Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) matter. But the WAF of 2025 isn’t just an appliance sitting in front of a static website. It’s a flexible, cloud-aware security […]

  • What is an API Security Audit?

     In January 2024, a misconfigured API exposed 650,000 private messages. These included passwords and internal communications. No exploit chain. No zero-day. Just a public-facing endpoint with no authentication. This wasn’t an isolated incident. From T-Mobile and Twitter (now X) to Kronos Research and the US Treasury, attackers have consistently used APIs as entry points. They […]

  • The Ultimate API Security Checklist for 2025

    APIs are now the top attack vector in enterprise apps. In 2024 alone, breaches tied to APIs cost an average of $4.88 million, and that number is rising fast. Attackers exploit gaps in API authentication, input validation, and outdated endpoints to compromise systems. Legacy controls no longer suffice, and the OWASP API Top 10 outlines […]

  • 10 API Security Best Practices for 2025

    APIs are the backbone of today’s interconnected software. They power everything from mobile apps and SaaS platforms to internal microservices and partner integrations. But their rapid growth has left many security teams flat-footed. In 2025, many attackers prefer to exploit API misconfigurations hiding in plain sight. What used to be fringe cases (token leakage, zombie […]

  • API Security in 2025: Practical Assessment & Modern Protection Strategies

    APIs are no longer an edge case. In 2025, they’re a core requirement for maintaining trust, compliance, and operational continuity. As organizations build more API-driven systems—from customer apps to internal microservices—the exposure risk compounds. And quickly, too. Even mature security teams are finding that traditional tools can’t keep pace with the volume, velocity, and nuance […]

  • SAST vs DAST vs IAST: Application Security Testing Explained

    A great majority of security flaws are introduced during development, but most aren’t found until much later, when they’re costlier to fix. That delay is precisely why application security testing (AKA AppSec testing) needs to occur early, frequently, and at multiple layers. SAST, DAST, and IAST are designed to do just that. But too often, […]

  • Application Security Frameworks: A Practical Guide to OWASP SAMM, ASVS, and More

    As teams ship faster in cloud-native environments, the attack surface grows just as quickly. This makes application security a moving target. Yet most AppSec programs still feel like patchwork. Teams rely on ad hoc policies, chase compliance, or struggle to scale controls across the SDLC. Application security frameworks change that. They give you a structure […]

  • Application Security Best Practices: A Lifecycle Approach for Modern Teams

    Application security isn’t just a developer’s concern or a security team’s checklist anymore. It’s a full-spectrum challenge that cuts across the software lifecycle, from the code you write to the containers you deploy to the pipelines and people in between. In 2024 alone, researchers flagged over 40,000 software vulnerabilities, most of which were inherited through […]

  • Why C-Suite Executives Are Switching from VPNs to ZTNA

    Hybrid workforces and cloud-first strategies have exposed the cracks in VPNs. Designed for simpler times, these legacy tools now create more problems than they solve. They slow your team down, leave security gaps, and make scaling a headache. How do you secure remote access without these hurdles? The answer is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). […]

  • Weak Defences: The Most Hackable Sports Passwords

    We get it. Thinking of another password that you haven’t used before can be frustrating – especially when we have to change or update our passwords so regularly. But while it might be tempting to use your favourite sports teams and clubs as passwords, it’s a risky move for your cyber security.  Using unique passwords […]

  • Rethinking IT Security to Build Resilience for the Modern Threat Landscape

    The recent two decades have changed how applications are built, delivered, and used. We used to have isolated networks with predictable entry points, but today, that has been replaced with a dynamic, interconnected web of APIs. The consequence of this is the dissolution of the traditional security perimeter. Today, protecting a single network boundary doesn’t […]
