How to develop a defensive plan for your open-source software project

Image
Open-source software is becoming more and more popular. Recent research by Forrester Research found that the open-source model is now  pre-eminent  in application development and that custom-written code now often constitutes only 10 to 20 percent of most applications. As the open-source model becomes a de-facto standard for developers, concerns about its security have become more prominent. As  CIO stated back in 2017 , “the speed of open source deployment by enterprises everywhere puts software security into question.” This has been a debate that has perennially resurfaced over the past decade, with various commentators claiming either that open source is more secure than proprietary code or less so. In reality, open-source code can be made as secure as the most rigorously developed proprietary code, but in order to achieve this, developers need to put in place an equally rigorous defensive plan. This is critical not only for  preventing security weaknesses i...

Healthy habits for good cybersecurity Victoria Drake I love coding and cybersecurity, write Victoria.dev, and spent a few years traveling the world with just one bag. I help you hire better coders with ApplyByAPI.com. Healthy habits for good cybersecurity In a similar fashion to everyone getting the flu now and again, the risk of catching a cyberattack is a common one. Both a sophisticated social engineering attack or grammatically-lacking email phishing scam can cause real damage. No one who communicates over the Internet is immune. Like proper hand washing and getting a flu shot, good habits can lower your risk of inadvertently allowing cybergerms to spread. Since the new year is an inspiring time for beginning new habits, I offer a few suggestions for ways to help protect yourself and those around you. 1.

How to Install Angular on Windows: A Guide to Angular CLI, Node.js, and Build Tools

Image
In this tutorial, we'll learn to install Angular CLI in Windows and use it to create an Angular project What is Angular CLI? Angular CLI is the official tool for initializing and working with Angular projects. It saves you from the hassles of complex configurations and build tools like TypeScript, Webpack, and so on. After installing Angular CLI, you'll need to run one command to generate a project and another command to serve it using a local development server to play with your application. Like most modern frontend tools these days, Angular CLI is built on top of Node.js. Node.js is a server technology that allows you to run JavaScript on the server and build server-side web applications. However, Angular is a frontend technology, so even if you need to install Node.js on your development machine, it is only for running the CLI. Once you build your app for production you won't need Node.js because the final bundles are just static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript th...
