APIs need strong security. They often handle sensitive data like financial records or health information. To protect this data while meeting privacy rules (like GDPR and HIPAA), fine-grained access control (FGAC) is key. FGAC uses OAuth scopes and claims to manage API access.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and the National Vulnerability Database (NVD database) help you to properly assess which software vulnerabilities should be your top priority. Here, we explain what is the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), what is the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, and how CVSS is used to calculate risk.

CORS errors can be a frustrating roadblock during API testing - but they’re fixable. These errors happen when your web app tries to access resources from another domain without proper permissions. Here’s how to tackle them step by step.

In today’s world, almost everyone has a mobile device full of apps. Most commonly, mobile apps serve as essential tools for personal and professional communication. However, the scope of apps goes much further, since many individuals use apps for fitness, healthcare, shopping, entertainment, and so much more. This means that, while your phone and its apps are packed with convenience and efficiency, they also come with one large hidden cost: your personal data.

Want secure, AI-ready data access? DreamFactory's Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system simplifies managing who can access what in your databases and APIs. Why it matters: Poor data management causes 1 in 3 AI projects to fail. Breaches by insiders cost $4.99 million on average, yet only 24% of AI projects include proper security. How DreamFactory helps: Assign roles to users, control access to specific data, and limit actions (like view vs. edit) without custom code.

How does GDPR impact AI innovation, and what affects might AI have on regulations like GDPR? According to McKinsey, 78% of companies now use AI in at least one area of their business as of July 2024. But this quick adoption brings challenges for organisations handling data from the European Union and the UK. The main challenge for InfoSec and other enterprise leaders is clear. Using AI effectively means being able to develop faster.

OAuth scopes and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) are two methods for managing access control, but they serve different purposes and operate in distinct ways.

Quantum computing hasn't gone mainstream yet, but signs increasingly suggest that it may do so in the near future. Some researchers and industry experts estimate that we could see significant breakthroughs as early as the next decade. This anticipated shift is often referred to as Y2Q similar to Y2K that we had at the beginning of this millennium.
