SDLC Protection: How to Secure Every Stage in 2026
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is where software gets built, and increasingly, where it gets compromised. Every stage, coding, building, testing, deploying, is also a potential entry point, and in 2026 that includes a layer most SDLC frameworks were never designed to account for: AI coding assistants, autonomous agents, and the dependencies they introduce, […]
Prevent Code Tampering in Four Steps
Code tampering refers to the unauthorised modification or alteration of source code during software application development, testing, or deployment.

What can go wrong with CI/CD pipelines?
Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are the foundation of any software organization that builds software in a “modern” way. Automation provides great power, but most developers miss the responsibility it entails. Developer: Yeah, we take CI/CD security seriously and have strong control on code maintainers, review commits before merges; jobs and pipelines are maintained by […]
Lack of Version Pinning and Dependency Confusion
In software development we depend on both own and third-party components or artifacts. A flexible Dependency Management is essential for modern software. Package managers like NPM, Maven, pip or NuGet are often used to specify software dependencies. These tools were designed with convenience and ease-of-use in mind, not security.  The problem The problem is that flexibility and ease of use […]
