The shift towards cloud-native architecture has gained significant momentum as organizations worldwide recognize the transformative power of cloud computing. By harnessing the power of cloud computing, businesses can unlock a plethora of benefits, enabling them to thrive in today's evolving technological landscape.

User data and intellectual property in the IT industry have traditionally been protected behind a layer of perimeter security strategies. However, the global movement of development environments to hybrid cloud-based architectures has proven perimeter security measures to be inadequate. Increasingly IT companies are shifting to zero-trust network security measures with the globally recognized motto of "Never trust, always verify".

The unprecedented proliferation of data generated by various digital sources has left businesses grappling with the complexities of managing large volumes of data. According to a report by IDC, the digital universe data is expected to reach 180 zettabytes by 2025. This massive amount of data presents significant challenges for organizations in terms of storage, processing, and analysis.

A large chunk of software development today takes place in cloud-based environments, with cross-organizational networks for resource sharing and data exchange. This opens up the applications and resources to several cyber threats that exploit common vulnerabilities and attack routes. Therefore, solutions for application security also referred to as AppSec, have become a necessary component of the software development lifecycle.

Cloud computing has enabled primary stakeholders in software development to deploy a broad set of resources and services for on-demand usage. Based on scalability, cost, performance, efficiency, and security these stakeholders can choose from a variety of deployment models for making these resources available over the cloud.

Did you know that every large-scale, successful enterprise software has one thing in common? This mascot ensures that the software is able to communicate well with its counterparts, survive load, scale resources, and never let the application go down. 

Businesses need to innovate to match rapidly changing consumer behavior and expectations. To this end, software development practices are also continuously evolving. MACH software architecture is one of the many such practices that has evolved over the years to meet the changing business needs.

To protect something, identifying and understanding the threats to it is crucial. 

Threat Modeling does just that. 

Be it software, networks, applications, distributed systems – threat modeling can be used across technologies and products barring a few.

This year has marked a downturn for various industries. However, there are some that are actually enabling many to sail through the tough time. The software development industry is one of them. 

When legacy systems hold back the business growth, IT teams race to modernize the existing solutions, thereby creating new business value out of them. The process involves technical or functional improvements, which may range anywhere between rewriting code, migration to a different platform, changing the architecture, or even replacing the entire system with a newer one.
