WAAP (Web Application & API Protection) security and its importance in 2022

WAAP stands for web application and API protection. As you can notice that this WAAP term is made of two different terms Web Application and API protection. A Web application and API are the most critical components of every device connected to the internet. So Let’s understand both of these terms one by one.

How Organizations Can Improve Their Cloud Security

When Arctic Wolf surveyed over 900 decision makers across the globe, an area of cybersecurity that kept reappearing in responses was cloud security. Last year, cloud adoption rate was at 99% but only 19% of those organizations were implementing cloud security posture management (CSPM) solutions. As cloud-originated breaches increase, it’s no surprise then that cloud concerns are also rising.

Symmetric Encryption vs. Asymmetric Encryption? How it Works and Why it's Used

Cybersecurity is a top priority for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. With the rise of cybercrime in recent years, it’s more important than ever to ensure that sensitive data is kept safe and secure. That’s where encryption comes in.

5G and SASE: A Match Made in Heaven

I recently attended the LEAP tech event in Saudi Arabia, and it was clear walking the trade show floor that 5G is hitting critical mass. Lightning-fast network connections are now rolling into cities across Saudi Arabia and the wider world, and while it’s true that some countries are further into the rollout of 5G than others, all the network providers and consultancies last week were showcasing wide-ranging use cases of 5G.

Don't be the weakest link

Open source provides a shortcut to functionality developed by others. But with exponential growth in the use of open source there is a very real risk of businesses failing to keep track of components, their dependencies and licenses. It's more important than ever to stay in control of the code your applications depend on and with typically hundreds of dependencies, this is not a small task. Avoid being the weakest link - understand the risks associated with your software supply chain and how to control them!
