I had to sort millions of records using various algorithms to find the fastest one, and that experience shaped… Continue reading Essential Algorithms: A Practical Approach to Computer Algorithms Using Python and C#
Does AI help us in security operations?
it does but only if it is originated from a intelligent programmer. AI is as smart as the people who did its modeling. an artificial intelligence cannot be more intelligent than its origination. presuming AI will be helping us securing cyberspace is like presuming we will have a accurate Accounting system or flawless GL just… Continue reading Does AI help us in security operations?
Relying on SAST/DAST
Relying on DAST/SAST is like investing in a restaurant where chef needs to be reminded of how to safely handle knife. no surprise that software developers have been dragging computer end-users to current situation when software products are no longer reliable, or they are packed with vulnerabilities. I have mentioned before that I believe the… Continue reading Relying on SAST/DAST
