The EU NIS2 directive, which calls for strengthening cybersecurity across the European Union, is now active in all member states. Join me for this 3-part blog post series in which I’ll explain what it is, help you understand if it is applicable to your company and how you can become NIS2 compliant.

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps-based continuous delivery tool designed to simplify and streamline application deployments in Kubernetes environments. As part of the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) ecosystem, Argo CD has become a cornerstone for teams embracing cloud-native development practices. At its core, Argo CD ensures that the desired application state defined in Git repositories is automatically synchronized with the live state of applications running in Kubernetes clusters.

Let’s face it—the term "software supply chain" can feel like navigating a maze of tech jargon. Commit signing, Software Composition Analysis (SCA), eBPF monitoring, SBOM generation, provenance attestations… the list goes on. But at its core, the software supply chain is the backbone of modern development, and its security is non-negotiable. A single vulnerability in this chain can ripple through entire systems, leading to breaches, downtime, and reputational damage.

Application security is a critical aspect of maintaining trust and integrity in your software. With an increasing number of cyberattacks targeting vulnerabilities in applications, it is essential to understand the common risks and take defensive measures to safeguard systems. Below are 10 prevalent application security vulnerabilities, along with real-world examples and effective defensive strategies.
