Who are you? Who? Who? If you’ve ever hummed that song to yourself when coding, then you already know the fundamental use case for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP is the protocol that communicates access and authentication data across various technologies. As a vendor-neutral, open protocol, LDAP works with proprietary directory tools, like […]
READ MOREIntroduction HTTP Security Headers are akin to the guardians of web security, playing a pivotal role in safeguarding web applications against a myriad of threats. However, the path to implementing these headers is riddled with potential missteps. A minor misconfiguration can render them ineffective, exposing your application to exploits. This article will unravel developers’ typical […]
Introduction Race conditions linger as elusive threats in the domain of concurrent programming, creating a fertile ground for inconsistencies and unforeseen security vulnerabilities. These subtle programming bugs arise when multiple processes access shared resources simultaneously, leading to unpredictable and undesirable outcomes. This article will journey through the labyrinth of race conditions, exploring their implications on […]
By Lukas Seidel Coding in dynamic languages like JavaScript and Python is fun and allows for fast iterations, but it comes with a cost. Without proper type information, developers are missing out on the ability to catch bugs early and get helpful IDE support. But the absence of properly typed variables makes life tricky not […]
We all do it. When we are recalling a story or something that happened in our lives, we fill in the “fuzzy” areas with what we believe to be the truth. It’s human nature to embellish somewhat or simply fill in the blanks with what could be facts based on our recollection, but often are […]
Software engineers’ ideal state includes being able to work with minimal disruption. This “flow state” is when they are most productive and have the best chance of delivering the products and features they are tasked with producing within the required timeline. Whenever something adversely impacts their flow state productivity, mental health, and overall effectiveness may […]
I couldn’t walk five feet at RSA recently without someone asking me about ChatGPT. The questions all boiled down to “ChatGPT—is it bad, really bad, or just plain horrible?” ChatGPT is all of these things, and at the same time it is none of them. ChatGPT is only what we make of it. Like any […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving technology that has the potential to transform various sectors of our society. However, with the great power of AI comes the great responsibility to ensure that it is used ethically, responsibly, and safely. Recently, the Biden Administration announced new actions to promote responsible AI innovation that protects Americans’ […]
As we embark on this new chapter in application security, it’s important to understand how AI and machine learning can provide greater understanding and insight into vulnerabilities than older methods of detection. In this article we will cover the following: The risk of using vulnerable dependencies (directly or transitively) Not all vulnerabilities pose risk. Why not? […]
