Introduction The Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) is a framework that incorporates security best practices into the software development process. The goal of SSDLC is to ensure that security is a critical aspect throughout the entire development process, from inception to deployment and beyond. This approach minimizes vulnerabilities and reduces the risk of exploitation within
Introduction to HIPAA Security Rule The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 introduced the Security Rule to establish national standards for protecting certain health information that is held or transferred in electronic form. The Security Rule operationalizes the protections contained in the Privacy Rule by addressing the technical and non-technical safeguards that
Introduction The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework provides a set of industry standards and best practices for managing cybersecurity risks. Developed in collaboration with various stakeholders, it offers a comprehensive guide to maintaining cybersecurity in critical infrastructure sectors like energy, water, finance, and transportation. Implementing the NIST Framework involves understanding its
Understanding ISO/IEC 27001 Before embarking on the certification journey, it is crucial to understand what ISO/IEC 27001 involves. ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for managing information security. It outlines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Step 1: Commitment and Establishing the Context Management Commitment:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect in the EU in May 2018. It imposes strict rules on how organizations must handle personal data of EU citizens, and one of the key elements is data security, which includes data encryption. Ensuring GDPR compliance in your data
OAuth OAuth is an open standard for access delegation, allowing users to grant third-party applications access to their information without sharing their credentials (typically username and password). Instead, OAuth provides tokens that applications can use to access resources on behalf of the user. OpenID Connect OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a simple identity layer built on
Introduction to Single Page Applications (SPAs) Security Single Page Applications (SPAs) have grown in popularity because they often provide a smoother user experience compared to traditional multi-page web applications. Unlike multi-page applications that reload the entire page from the server whenever a user interacts with the app, SPAs dynamically rewrite the current page in response
Understanding Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks Before diving into mitigation strategies, it is essential to understand what Denial of Service (DoS) attacks entail. A DoS attack aims to make a network service or application unavailable to intended users by overwhelming it with fake traffic or requests. In distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, this is done using
Vulnerability scanning is an integral part of maintaining the security of web applications. Automating this process ensures that threats are identified and addressed promptly. The following sections outline steps for automating vulnerability scanning. Establishing a Baseline Before automating vulnerability scanning, you must establish a baseline to understand your web application’s current security posture. Inventory Web
