An application security engineer is a security professional who protects software applications from threats throughout the entire development process.

Vulnerability threat intelligence is the practice of combining vulnerability assessment data with real-world threat information to understand which security weaknesses actually matter.

Digital risk protection (DRP) is a cybersecurity discipline that monitors and mitigates threats to your digital assets across public, deep, and dark web channels.

Copyleft is a licensing method that uses copyright law to ensure software freedom and requires derivative works to maintain the same open license.

While the deep web is mostly used for legitimate, private activities, the dark web hosts both illegal marketplaces and serves as a haven for privacy-seekers and activists in repressive regimes.

API security risks are the complete spectrum of threats targeting application programming interfaces (APIs), including technical vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and business logic flaws.

Kubernetes security incidents differ fundamentally from traditional IT breaches. Containers and pods are ephemeral—some containers live for only seconds or minutes. They're created, destroyed, and moved within seconds, making it far harder to track attacks compared to static servers.

Learn how SAST improves your environment, how it differs from DAST, and how you can integrate it into your entire DevSecOps approach to cloud security.

Cloud ransomware is malware that targets data in cloud environments by exploiting features and APIs to encrypt, exfiltrate or destroy data.

DevOps is a way of working that breaks down walls between development and operations teams. This means developers and IT operations work together instead of in separate silos, which helps companies build and release software faster.

Threat hunting frameworks provide structured, repeatable methodologies for proactively searching for hidden threats that have bypassed traditional security defenses in cloud environments.

The threat intelligence lifecycle is a continuous, six-phase process that transforms raw data about potential cyber threats into refined, actionable intelligence

Threat hunting actively searches for hidden threats already inside your network, while threat intelligence gathers external information about potential threats to inform security strategy.

Secrets management is the practice of securely storing, controlling access to, and managing digital credentials like passwords, API keys, and certificates.
