The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed our homes and workplaces but at what cost?   With billions of connected devices, hackers have more entry points than ever. IoT penetration testing is your best defense, uncovering vulnerabilities before cybercriminals do. But where do you start? Discover the top tools, techniques, and expert strategies to safeguard your IoT ecosystem. Don’t wait for a breach, stay one step ahead.   Read on to fortify your devices now!  Why IoT Penetration Testing is Critical  IoT devices often lack robust security by design. Many run on outdated firmware, use default credentials, or have unsecured communication channels. A single vulnerable device can expose an entire network.  Real-world examples of IoT vulnerabilities:   Mirai Botnet (2016) : Exploited default credentials in IP cameras and DVRs, launching massive DDoS attacks. Stuxnet (2010): Targeted industrial IoT systems, causing physical damage to nuclear centrifu...

In today’s fast-paced development environments, security, reliability, and system performance are critical. One of the fundamental   practices   that help maintain these standards is patching. While often overlooked, patching plays a   vital role in the DevOps lifecycle . What is Patching? Patching refers to the process of applying updates to software components, systems, applications, or dependencies to fix: Security vulnerabilities Bugs and known issues Performance inefficiencies Compatibility concerns Patches can be minor (fixing a small bug) or critical (closing a zero-day vulnerability). They are usually released by software vendors or communities after identifying issues in their products. Why Use Patching in DevOps? In the DevOps world, where  automation, continuous delivery , and  rapid deployments  are common, patching is not just a one-off task — it needs to be  automated, tested, and integrated  into CI/CD pipelines . Here’s why patchin...
