Software engineering professionals are always looking for ways to write better code, and a critical component of continuous improvement is regularly tracking and assessing metrics. Defect density is a metric to measure the number of confirmed defects in...
The software development lifecycle is evolving rapidly, and security teams require more than traditional tools to keep pace. Manual reviews and real-time fixes are no longer enough to handle the pace and scale of modern development. Introducing the launch of ...
What is the OWASP Benchmark? The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is best known for maintaining a list of the Top 10 security vulnerabilities in web and mobile applications. However, these aren’t the only projects the independent, non-profit orga...
As everyone involved in software development knows, code must be both functional and secure. Too often, software security vulnerabilities hide behind perfectly working features, turning seemingly stable applications into ticking time bombs. When overlooked, t...
There are two critical processes that help ensure your applications are well-protected from malicious actors: Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. While both concepts aim to secure a particular aspect of the network or your application, they serve ...
With every crime committed, a detective can trace its origins back to the perpetrator. The same can be done with cybersecurity breaches. Most software vulnerabilities or major security threats can be traced back to the software development lifecycle. A simple...
Software supply chain security has never been more important. As dev teams increasingly rely on third-party components, open-source libraries, and external vendors, attackers evolve their methods to exploit weaknesses in the software supply chain. Techniques ...
As application development evolves, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for chatbots and other purposes grows, more companies are moving to cloud-based services. But as much as they are beneficial, these environments are also more prone to cybersecuri...
SQL injection (SQLi) is one of the oldest and most dangerous security vulnerabilities, enabling attackers to manipulate database queries, steal sensitive data, or even take full control of a system. That’s why many devs are wondering how to stop SQL injection...
2024 was a pivotal year for the security world. From high-profile breaches (CrowdStrike, anyone?) to new opportunities in securing applications, it was a time of both challenges and transformation. Most significant for us at Kiuwan were the feedback and sugge...
Data Privacy Week is an international initiative designed to raise awareness among individuals, developers, security professionals, and businesses about the importance of online privacy and data protection. It grew from Data Privacy Day, first established in ...
Code analysis is an automated process that scans codebases to detect issues, enabling developers to identify and address problems early. Integrated at every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), code analysis enhances code quality, helps secure ...
