What is continuous pen testing? A cloud security perspective
Wiz Experts Team
Continuous penetration testing is an always-on, adversarial security testing approach that persistently discovers, exploits, and validates vulnerabilities across your environment rather than testing at a single point in time.
What is a SOAP API? Security and implementation
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is an XML-based messaging protocol standardized by W3C that’s popular for its predictability, strict contracts, and strong security features. The protocol is the basis for SOAP APIs: The SOAP protocol defines the rules, and SOAP APIs are the actual implementations of those rules.
Minimal vs. hardened base images: Security and selection tips
Simply put, minimal images focus on a smaller footprint (fewer packages, faster pulls), while hardened images focus on secure defaults (non-root users, signed artifacts, provenance).
