The MIT License is widely adopted because it provides a straightforward framework with minimal restrictions, allowing free use, modification, and distribution.

The Impact of AI in Software Development

Wiz Experts Team

AI-assisted software development integrates machine learning and AI-powered tools into your coding workflow to help you build, test, and deploy software without wasting resources.

Static Code Analysis

Static code analysis identifies security vulnerabilities and coding issues without executing the code, improving software quality and security.

What is Application Security testing?

Application security testing (AST) is a set of processes designed to detect and address security gaps during the early phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). In other words, teams take steps in pre-production to identify and mitigate risks before applications are released into operational environments.

What are Application Security Frameworks?
