The Evolution of DevOps to DevSecOps: Strengthening Security in Continuous Development

In the fast-paced world of software development, DevOps has emerged as a game-changer, breaking down silos between development and operations teams to enable faster, more efficient delivery of software. However, as cyber threats continue to evolve, there is a growing recognition that security must be integrated into the DevOps process from the outset. This has given rise to DevSecOps, a methodology that emphasizes the importance of security throughout the software development lifecycle. DevOps: Bridging the Gap DevOps, a portmanteau of Development and Operations, is a cultural and technical movement that emphasizes collaboration, automation, and integration between software developers and IT operations teams. It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery of high-quality software.

The Art of Hacking - Attack Techniques in Modern Applications

  Technologies are no longer just components of the businesses, they have rather turned into the backbone for the companies that lead to better customer experience. Despite that fact, the reliance on technology can highly imply an increased susceptibility to cyber breaches. Hackers are constantly developing and trying to implement new techniques that can exploit the flaw present in the modern applications which may be a threat to any organization regardless of their size.

Conveying malicious SQL code into the system allows the hackers to circumvent authentication, access the critical data, and even command the database. To prevent SQLi, organizations need to use such techniques as parameterized queries, input validation, and SQL queries based on user inputs should never be concatenated dire
