OWASP Top 10 / Open Web Application Security Project Top 10

 The OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) Top 10 is a globally recognized standard for identifying and mitigating security threats in web applications. Organizations are providing training with these modules:

  1. Understanding OWASP and Its Importance

    • Overview of OWASP and its role in web security.
    • Importance of the OWASP Top 10 list for secure coding.

  2. Detailed Analysis of OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities

    • Explanation, impact, and mitigation strategies for each vulnerability:
      1. Broken Access Control – Unauthorized access to sensitive data or functions.
      2. Cryptographic Failures – Improper data encryption leading to leaks.
      3. Injection Attacks (e.g., SQL Injection, XSS, Command Injection) – Malicious input manipulation.
      4. Insecure Design – Flaws in security architecture and design.
      5. Security Misconfiguration – Improper configuration of security settings.
      6. Vulnerable and Outdated Components – Using outdated or unpatched software.
      7. Identification and Authentication Failures – Weak authentication mechanisms.
      8. Software and Data Integrity Failures – Tampering with software updates or data.
      9. Security Logging and Monitoring Failures – Lack of proper logging for threat detection.
      10. Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) – Unauthorized requests sent from a server.

  3. Hands-on Practical Demonstrations

    • Live examples of exploiting and mitigating vulnerabilities.
    • Use of security tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Metasploit.

  4. Best Practices for Secure Development

    • Secure coding guidelines (e.g., input validation, authentication best practices).
    • Implementation of security frameworks.

  5. Compliance and Industry Standards

    • How OWASP Top 10 aligns with ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS.

  6. Security Testing & Risk Management

    • Strategies for penetration testing, threat modeling, and secure SDLC.

Beyond Google: The Best Alternative Search Engines for Academic and Scientific Research

Google may be the most popular search engine, but it isn’t always the best for academic and scientific research. Many valuable scholarly resources are buried under commercial results or hidden behind paywalls. Fortunately, there are specialized search engines designed to help researchers, students, and professionals find high-quality, peer-reviewed content. Here’s a selection of the best alternatives to Google, focusing on science, technology, medicine, and economics. 1. RefSeek ( www.refseek.com ) Best for: General academic research. RefSeek indexes over a billion documents, including research papers, encyclopedias, and books. Unlike Google, it prioritizes educational content and filters out commercial websites. 2. WorldCat ( www.worldcat.org ) Best for: Finding books and research materials in libraries worldwide. WorldCat allows users to search for books, articles, and historical archives in over 20,000 libraries. It’s ideal for tracking down rare or specialized academic ma...

LLM-based systems- Comparison of FFN Fusion with Other Approaches

  Comparison of FFN Fusion with Other Approaches & Suitable Use Cases FFN Fusion (NVIDIA) FFN Fusion optimizes transformers by identifying feed-forward layers that can be executed in parallel. By analyzing dependencies and fusing low-interaction FFN layers, it achieves significant reductions in inference latency and computational cost. Unlike traditional techniques that modify numerical precision or prune parameters, this approach restructures the model while preserving accuracy. Best Use Cases High-throughput AI applications : Ideal for AI assistants, chatbots, and large-scale LLM-based systems that need rapid multi-token generation. Enterprise-level LLM deployments : Works well where cost efficiency is important without compromising model performance. Real-time scientific research tools : Can enhance inference speed in AI-driven analytics, simulations, and predictive modeling. Quantization Quantization reduces the precision of numerical calculations (e.g., from 32-...
