What Is Zero Trust Security? Complete 2026 Guide — How It Works, Why Every Company Needs It & How to Implement It What Is Zero Trust Security? Complete 2026 Guide — How It Works, Why Every Company Needs It & How to Implement It By Amardeep Maroli | April 8, 2026 | Zero Trust, Cybersecurity, Network Security | 15 min read Home About Contact For decades, network security worked like a medieval castle.

OpenAI API Security Guide 2026: Protect Your API Keys, Prevent Abuse & Build Secure AI Applications OpenAI API Security Guide 2026: Protect Your API Keys, Prevent Abuse & Build Secure AI Applications By Amardeep Maroli | April 7, 2026 | OpenAI API, API Security, Developer Guide | 15 min read Home About Contact Every week, thousands of OpenAI API keys are found exposed in public GitHub repositories.

Using AI for Bug Bounty Hunting: Smart Hacks or Overhyped? — Honest 2026 Analysis With Real Lab Results Using AI for Bug Bounty Hunting: Smart Hacks or Overhyped? — Honest 2026 Analysis With Real Lab Results By Amardeep Maroli | April 7, 2026 | Bug Bounty, AI Security, Ethical Hacking | 14 min read Home About Contact The bug bounty community has a complicated relationship with AI. Half of every forum thread I read is people claiming it revolutionises their workflow — finding vulnerabilities in minutes, automating recon, generating payloads instantly.

Neither is giving you the nuanced answer you need to actually decide how to use AI in your hunting workflow. I have been testing AI tools against deliberately vulnerable applications — DVWA, Juice Shop, PortSwig...
