Security Best Practices in the Web Development Life Cycle

From the backend developer's perspective, we have learned that addressing security at every phase of the web development life cycle can significantly mitigate risks and protect both data and infrastructure. Here follows a detailed walkthrough of security best practices across the stages of web development, from planning to deployment and maintenance. It is important to work with cybersecurity-minded web developers who take security seriously throughout the web development life cycle.

The Top 11 Legal Industry Cyber Attacks

A law firm can only be successful if it can meet the needs of its clients, and few components put that success at risk more than the rising danger and repercussions of a cyber attack. In addition to the time, effort, and money a firm must spend responding to a successful breach, employees may find themselves unable to access the firm’s technology and, therefore, unable to bill hours.

Cyber incident response: a guide for small businesses

Cyber incident response offers a structured approach to respond to, manage and mitigate security incidents in order to limit the potential disruption of attacks. In this blog, we discuss how small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are being impacted by cyber threats, what cyber incident response involves and the steps you can take to protect your business.

External Penetration Testing: Cost, Tools, Steps, & Checklist

External penetration testing is a critical cybersecurity practice that helps organisations defend their internet-facing assets. By simulating the actions of a real-world attacker, external penetration tests reveal vulnerabilities in your web applications, networks, and other externally accessible systems.

DMARC - The Next Step in Email Hygiene and Security

In 1971, Ray Tomlison developed the first email service while working at The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This development changed how we communicated. However, even though this was an exceptional tool, it was not very user-friendly, requiring users to have specific software installed on their computers. In 1996, Sabeer Bhatia founded Hotmail, making it the first web-based email messaging service. Exactly one year after Microsoft acquired Hotmail, I opened my first email account.

Defending Against Supply Chain Spoofing in Critical Manufacturing

Supply chain attacks are a serious and growing threat to businesses across all industries. However, these attacks pose an even greater risk for manufacturers in critical infrastructure sectors. One pernicious form of supply chain attack is spoofing, where attackers impersonate legitimate suppliers to sneak malicious code or components into products. Research shows that 2023 had the highest number (2769 in the US alone) of entities affected by supply chain spoofing.

Secure and Compliant CI/CD Pipelines with GitLab

In today’s fast-paced software development world, seamless, secure, and compliant CI/CD pipelines are critical for success. However, managing multiple tools and processes across development teams using traditional CI/CD solutions can lead to security vulnerabilities, compliance roadblocks, and hinder overall software delivery.
