  • The Illusion of Intelligence: Why Security Discipline Still Matters in the Age of AI-Built Systems

    The rise of AI-assisted development has led to a phenomenon called “vibe coding,” where systems are rapidly built without a thorough understanding of their mechanics. This approach, while seemingly progressive, is increasingly dangerous as it often neglects essential security practices. Case studies like Lovable and Vercel highlight the consequences of prioritizing speed over security, resulting…

  • The Hidden Fragility of Modern Startups in the Age of AI

    The rise of artificial intelligence has simplified the startup creation process, allowing founders to rapidly develop prototypes and launch businesses. However, this speed often leads to weak foundations characterized by poor security, inadequate data governance, and insufficient operational design. There is a trend known as “vibe coding,” where speed and intuition overshadow disciplined development, resulting…

  • Silpa Companies Announces Partnership with NightVision to Accelerate Application and API Security

    Silpa Companies has partnered with NightVision, an application security firm, to enhance vulnerability detection in web applications and APIs. NightVision’s DAST platform integrates into CI/CD pipelines, enabling faster, automated security testing. This collaboration aims to improve application security practices and visibility while maintaining development efficiency.

  • When Attackers Move at Machine Speed, Businesses Cannot Keep Jogging: Why 2026 Will Be the Year Cybersecurity Learns to Sprint

    The cybersecurity landscape is evolving rapidly, with attackers leveraging automation to exploit vulnerabilities almost immediately following their discovery. In contrast, defenders operate at a slower pace due to traditional patching cycles that create windows of exposure. To mitigate risks, organizations must modernize their security practices by adopting automated solutions that enhance agility and reduce manual…

  • API and Microservice Security: Practical Controls for OAuth, JWT, and OpenAPI

    APIs serve as the critical backbone of modern business infrastructure, facilitating service communication and automation. However, their proliferation, especially in microservice architectures, heightens security risks, making firms vulnerable to attacks through misconfigurations and weak authentication. Implementing layered security using frameworks like OAuth, JWT, and OpenAPI is essential to protect these endpoints. Effective security integrates validation,…

  • Operationalizing Secure-by-Design: From Policy to Pipelines

    The article discusses the concept of Secure-by-Design in software development, emphasizing its importance as an ongoing process rather than a one-time goal. It highlights common misunderstandings, such as the separation of security, development, and business roles. The text underscores the need for predictive security through automation, integrating checks within the CI/CD pipeline, and effective threat…
