Applications—and the APIs that power them—are today’s front door to everything from banking and healthcare to shopping and streaming. This episode maps the risk landscape: why well-known flaws like SQL injection persist, how APIs have become the new perimeter, and where lapses in authentication, authorization, and data exposure turn small mistakes into massive breaches. We break down the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top…
In this episode of Dot One, we unpack container security, the key to keeping those nimble software packages—containers—safe as they zip across cloud and on-prem setups. These lightweight bundles, packing apps with their must-haves, are gold for speedy deployment, but they’ve got risks like escapes to the host, shaky images, or sneaky code slipping in. We’ll show how it locks down vulnerabilities, keeps data tight…
In this episode, I take you through the world of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response—Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response—breaking down how it transforms security operations from reactive chaos to streamlined efficiency. We’ll explore how Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response integrates disparate security tools, automates repetitive tasks, and orchestrates fast, effective…
In this episode of Dot One, we dig into operating system (OS) security, the unsung hero keeping everything from your laptop to your company’s servers locked tight. The OS is the beating heart of any device, and securing it means shielding apps, data, and hardware from nasties like malware, privilege grabs, or sloppy settings. We’ll uncover why it’s a big deal—think uptime, compliance with stuff like PCI DSS, and…
Infrastructure security has evolved from racks of physical servers to fleets of virtual machines, containers, and cloud services managed by code. In this episode, we trace that transformation and the new risks it created—where automation, elasticity, and speed amplify both productivity and exposure. You’ll learn how Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, and supply chain dependencies enable rapid delivery but…
