2,000 years ago, the ancient Greek had a word for a person who steered the ship. Kubernetes, captain, the one in control, the one who holds responsibility. From this word Kubernetes comes cyber.So cyber means control. But today we live in a digital world where most people do not have control, where many leaders and executives do not take enough responsibility and let their ship just sail along until it gets uh attacked by the pirates or lured into a presumably safe harbor or which turns out to be not that s ...

Secure Coding Practices - The industry emphasizes the importance of using SuperGrok to check C code for vulnerabilities [1] - The industry follows OWASP and CERT guidelines to ensure secure coding standards, including input sanitization, secure defaults, and least privilege [2] - The industry implements secure error handling, including comprehensive error codes, safe error reporting functions, and graceful handling of partial failures [3] - The industry advocates for the principle of least privilege, ensuring functions only access what they need with clear separation of concerns [3] - The industry includes checks for size calculations against SIZE_MAX, array index bounds validation, and safe arithmetic operations to protect against integer overflow [3] Vulnerability Prevention - The industry prevents format string attacks by avoiding user-controlled format strings and using safe printing functions [4] - The industry validates all inputs consistently, uses early returns on invalid conditions, and implements fail-safe defaults for defensive programming [4] - The industry ensures consistent allocation/deallocation patterns, checks all allocations for failure, and proper cleanup on error paths to prevent memory management issues [4] - The industry handles malformed inputs gracefully, maintains proper state management, avoids stack overflows, and uses safe tokenization for parsing robustness [5] - The industry covers various security test cases, including null/empty inputs, oversized inputs, malformed data, UTF-8 validation, memory exhaustion limits, buffer overflows, integer overflows, and format string attacks [5] Performance and Efficiency - The industry minimizes allocations, uses efficient single-pass processing, designs for memory locality and cache efficiency, and fails fast on invalid inputs for performance considerations [6]
