FIPS 140-3: The Security Standard That Protects Our Federal Data
FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) [1] defines a set of public security standards developed by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) [2] that govern the security requirements for cryptographic modules used in government systems. FIPS 140-3 is the latest…
Understanding IEEE 802.11(Wi-Fi) Encryption and Authentication: Write Your Own Custom Packet Sniffer
Introduction As of 2023, it’s estimated that 42 billion cumulative Wi-Fi enabled devices have been shipped (Wi-Fi® by the Numbers: Technology Momentum in 2023, n.d.). Every new device adds to the increasing wireless attack surface, and it’s important for anyone…
Agentic AI for Automated Application Security and Vulnerability Management
It was not so long ago that I was having a much closer look at how AI is becoming embedded in our everyday developer work. I have watched more intelligent code suggestions, automated testing routines, and those ubiquitous chatbots become…
5 Subtle Indicators Your Development Environment Is Under Siege
Think your organization is too small to be a target for threat actors? Think again. In 2025, attackers no longer distinguish between size or sector. Whether you’re a flashy tech giant, a mid-sized auto dealership software provider, or a small…
AI-Based Threat Detection in Cloud Security
Abstract This article explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is enhancing threat detection in cloud certificate environments. It explicates how dissimilar AI modeling, such as supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, is used to describe and respond to security measures and threats…
How Trustworthy Is Big Data?
Businesses and individual users now employ big data analysis to support decision-making, engineering innovation, and productivity levels. However, the surge in the reliance on big data leads to growing concerns regarding its accuracy and trustworthiness. Although big data provides unprecedented…
Immutable Secrets Management: A Zero-Trust Approach to Sensitive Data in Containers
Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive approach to securing sensitive data in containerized environments using the principle of immutable secrets management, grounded in a Zero-Trust security model. We detail the inherent risks of traditional secrets management, demonstrate how immutability and…
Building Enterprise-Ready Landing Zones: Beyond the Initial Setup
Introduction Cloud providers offer baseline landing zone frameworks, but successful implementation requires strategic customization tailored to an organization’s specific security, compliance, operations, and cost-management needs. Treating a landing zone as a turnkey solution can lead to security gaps and operational…
Cookies Revisited: A Networking Solution for Third-Party Cookies
Cookies are fundamental aspects of a web application that end users and developers frequently deal with. A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored in a user’s browser. The data element is used as a medium to…
It’s Not About Control — It’s About Collaboration Between Architecture and Security
In the day-to-day operations of companies, solution architecture and information security are two areas that inevitably intersect. Both play a key role in building robust, scalable, and reliable technology environments. However, one question lingers — though rarely openly discussed: what…
Unlocking the Potential of Apache Iceberg: A Comprehensive Analysis
