Discover why RPC services and SQL Server named instances should never use ephemeral ports, and learn how to configure static ports for reliable, secure server applications.
Uncover the invisible workers behind every network connection. Learn how ephemeral ports enable hundreds of simultaneous connections on your computer.
The CA/Browser Forum mandates 47-day TLS certificates by 2029. Discover why manual management is dead and how ACME automation becomes your essential lifeline.
Tools aren't the whole answer. Discover how threat modeling and maturity models transform DevSecOps from a toolset into a security culture that protects what matters.
Ever wondered what sits between users and your backend servers? Discover why reverse proxies are essential in enterprise design and whether they're really another point of failure.
Discover how Certificate Transparency acts as a public watchdog for HTTPS certificates, preventing fraudulent certificates and making the web safer for everyone through transparent, append-only logs.
From application logs to SIEM - discover how different types of logs work together to keep your systems secure, performant, and compliant. Learn when to use each type and how they form a complete observability strategy.
Multiple applications connecting directly to your database—convenient or catastrophic? Explore why enterprise architects debate this fundamental design decision.
In Kubernetes, every pod can talk to every other pod by default. For enterprises, that's not security—that's a breach waiting to happen. Discover why network policies are your first line of defense.
OAuth 2.0 enables secure delegated access without sharing passwords. Learn how authorization flows work, common pitfalls, and why OAuth is not authentication.

Prevention beats remediation. Build a multi-layered defense following OWASP DevSecOps principles with pre-commit hooks, secrets scanning, code linting, and automated detection.
Accidentally committed credentials to Git? Learn how to properly remove them, why git history rewriting isn't enough, and how to prevent future leaks.
Identity brokers centralize authentication across multiple systems, but implementation choices affect security, performance, and user experience. Understand the patterns, trade-offs, and pitfalls.
Jenkins credentials can leak through build logs, script consoles, and API endpoints. Understand how credentials get exposed and how to protect your CI/CD pipeline.
Implementing mobile security requires more than theory. Learn practical code patterns for secure storage, obfuscation, runtime protection, and authentication that you can deploy today.
Defanging URLs prevents accidental clicks on malicious links when sharing threat intelligence. Learn why security teams use this practice and how to implement it.
Mobile devices store sensitive data and connect to critical services. Learn essential security architecture principles to protect your users from data breaches, reverse engineering, and runtime attacks.
Certificate pinning promises enhanced security but introduces operational risks. Understand what to pin, how to implement it, and why it might break your application.
OAuth 2.0 isn't just about getting access tokens. Learn how to design secure authorization flows that protect user data and prevent common vulnerabilities—before attackers exploit them.
