A guide to static application security testing (SAST)

Static application security testing (SAST) involves analyzing source code to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities. Using SAST early in development identifies threats before they can affect a live environment. SAST is particularly important for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These pipelines automate the integration of new code changes into the main codebase and deploy applications to production environments.

How to Use Ansible Copy Module: An In-Depth Guide

In this post, we’re going to learn about the Ansible copy module. Before we look at the copy module specifically, let us first remind ourselves what Ansible is. You can install this open-source software on just one Linux machine. Then it can perform a lot of tasks on connected Linux machines without requiring Ansible installation on them. You can do tasks like copying files, fetching files, and a lot of other things all on connected machines, with a single command.
