Purecode | Backend Proxy

Consider making API requests through a backend server where your API key is stored and not exposed to the frontend. This way, the API key is kept hidden from the client-side, reducing the potential for unauthorized access.

What Is AWS Secrets Manager? And Its Benefits, Features

Manage the secrets lifecycle centrally using AWS Secrets Manager.

What is AWS Secrets Manager?

OAuth tokens, API keys, database credentials, application credentials, and other secrets may all be managed, retrieved, and rotated with the aid of AWS Secrets Manager. Many AWS services store and use secrets using Secrets Manager.

Secrets Manager improves your security posture by removing the requirement for hard-coded credentials in application source code. If you save your credentials in Secrets Manager, anyone who can look at your program or its components could potentially compromise it. A runtime call to the Secrets Manager service lets you dynamically retrieve credentials when needed, replacing hard-coded credentials.

Secrets Manager allows you to create an automatic secret rotation schedule. This greatly lowers the chance of compromise by allowing you to swap out long-term secrets for short-term ones. Rotating credentials no longer necessitates upgrading your apps and sending modifications to application clients because the credentials are no longer kept with the application.

Advantages

Centrally audit and securely encrypt secrets.

Control who has access to secrets.

Rotate secrets on their own.

To help with catastrophe recovery plans, replicate secrets.

Use cases

Keep secrets safe

Manage and keep credentials, API keys, and other secrets in one place.

Use fine-grained policies to control access

To control who may access your secrets, use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions policies.

Rotate secrets automatically

Without redeploying or interfering with running applications, rotate secrets on demand or according to a schedule.

Audit and track the use of secrets

Connect secrets to AWS’s notification, logging, and monitoring services.

Features of AWS Secrets Manager

Safekeeping of secrets

Using encryption keys that you hold and keep in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), AWS Secrets Manager encrypts secrets while they are at rest.

Secrets Manager decrypts the secret when you retrieve it and sends it safely over TLS to your local environment.

Using resource-based and fine-grained IAM policies, Secrets Manager connects with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to manage access to the secret.

Rotating secrets automatically without interfering with applications

Using the Secrets Manager console, AWS SDK, or AWS CLI, you may use AWS Secrets Manager to rotate secrets on a schedule or as needed.

Rotating credentials for databases housed on Amazon RDS and Amazon DocumentDB as well as clusters hosted on Amazon Redshift are natively supported by Secrets Manager.

By altering sample Lambda functions, you can expand Secrets Manager to rotate secrets used with other AWS or 3P services.

Secrets are automatically replicated to several AWS regions

To satisfy your specific disaster recovery and cross-regional redundancy needs, you can use AWS Secrets Manager to automatically replicate your secrets to many AWS Regions. There is no need to maintain a complicated solution for this capability; simply specify which AWS regions a secret needs to be replicated to, and Secrets Manager will safely generate regional read replicas. You can trust Secrets Manager to maintain the replicas in sync with the primary secret while granting your multi-Region apps access to replicated secrets in the necessary Regions.

Secret retrieval via programming

When developing your applications, keep hidden security in mind.

Code samples for calling Secrets Manager APIs from popular programming languages are provided by Secrets Manager. Two categories of APIs are available for retrieving secrets:

By name or ARN, retrieve a single secret.

Provide a list of names or ARNs, or filter criteria like tags, to retrieve a collection of secrets.

Set up Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints so that communications between Secrets Manager and your VPC remain inside the AWS network.

Additionally, Secrets Manager client-side caching libraries can be used to decrease latency and increase availability while retrieving secrets.

Audit and track the use of secrets

By integrating with AWS logging, monitoring, and notification services, AWS Secrets Manager lets you audit and keep an eye on secrets. For instance, you can inspect AWS CloudTrail logs to audit when a secret is produced or rotated once AWS CloudTrail has been enabled for an AWS Region. Likewise, you can set up Amazon CloudWatch Events to get push alerts when Secrets Manager rotates your secrets, or you can set up Amazon CloudWatch to get email notifications using Amazon Simple Notification Service when secrets aren’t utilized for a while.

Compliance

AWS Secrets Manager can be used to satisfy compliance standards.

Use AWS Config Rules to guarantee your secrets meet enterprise security and compliance standards.

The Department of Defense Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (DoD CC SRG IL2, IL4, and IL5), FedRAMP, HIPAA, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO 9001, and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

Integration of Secrets Manager

Secrets Manager integrates with AWS services to safely handle your login credentials. You can safely swap login credentials with different AWS services thanks to these integrations. Either customer-managed or AWS-managed KMS keys are used to encrypt the credentials kept in Secrets Manager. To maintain a high level of security, Secrets Manager rotates secrets on a regular basis. You will be able to supply an AWS service with the ARN of a secret rather than a plain text credential once your secrets are stored with Secrets Manager.

How Cloud Computing is Changing Cybersecurity

Takeaway: Cloud security means knowing what's in your system and how it's set up.

As it has emerged over the past few years, the cloud has really revolutionized business and allowed us to do amazing things with web-delivered technologies.

However, one of the biggest issues around the cloud has always been, and still is, cybersecurity.

The cloud brings with it a host of cybersecurity issues. Some of them relate to the inherent nature of cloud computing, and others are exploited by hackers through very specific design processes.

Here are some of the general challenges of maintaining cybersecurity in the cloud.

Lack of Transparency

Because the cloud vendor model requires client businesses to trust outside third parties, transparency is a big issue. That starts with knowing what your vendor’s data setup is like – whether it's truly a private cloud, or a multi-tenant design that should rightly be called public – and how many barriers there are between the data holdings of multiple customers.

Then other questions center around the security standards and algorithms that the vendors are running. Even things like uptime have to be hashed out in a service level agreement, or there's really not full transparency in play. That issue of trusting the cloud vendor is one that's always been central to the relationship between a cloud provider and a consumer of cloud services. 

A company is giving up a lot of control – and with that comes a burden of due diligence and the desire to create transparent relationships with vendors.

“If someone is going to operate a service like a public cloud that people are supposed to be able to count on, while changing it under the hood on a continuous basis, and constantly releasing improvements to it, they have taken a management burden upon themselves that no one else in the computing industry has ever shouldered.

“This gives rise to some very tough questions, which none of the public cloud vendors has been forthcoming to answer.”

There are ways to hedge against vendor risks, for example, creating redundant multi-cloud systems and making in-house systems more versatile, but the threat is still there.

Sprawl and Drift

Companies are using cloud services for supporting virtualization schemes involving virtual machines and containers. There is the ability to abstract all of the hardware systems into the virtual world, and source everything, from servers to code functionality and storage, through the web.

However, that can lead to some specific problems.

One of them is sometimes referred to as VM sprawl – where people building an architecture may build in too many independent virtual machines or other components, and basically lose track of them over time. With virtual machines running out in limbo, there's a key disorganization or entropy that sets in, and that can be dangerous.

“If you do not have control of your virtualization environment, what is to stop a rogue virtual machine from creating havoc in your IT infrastructure?” asks Steven Warren at TechCrunch, describing some of the perils of sprawl. “What if some developer created a VM and installed DNS on it or made it a DC (domain controller). Or what if a marketing person had a VM created but didn't patch it and a virus invaded it?”

Another related problem is drift.

That happens when the individual components aren't always maintained in the same state – for example, with the same licensing, in the same modern version, etc. Sprawl and drift are twin terrors for cloud architecture – as with the lack of transparency, sprawl and drift can sow chaos and leave systems vulnerable to all sorts of hidden dangers.

Vulnerable APIs

The application programming interface (API) came into vogue with the evolution of more sophisticated architectures that plug in and various software components or allow SOA components to talk to each other in unprecedented ways.

The API is a key part of the connective tissue in modern architectures – but when an API isn't secure, that can lead to its own cybersecurity problems. Insecure APIs are one important source of concern for programmers and other stakeholders.

“Whether the communication is between service and server, or services and the browser, the services should not just secure the data they are serving but also control who is requesting that data.

“Nobody wants to make their social data available to strangers.”

New Topographies and the Internet of Things

With the Internet of Things (IoT) emerging as a new connectivity model, experts are predicting that we will add many billions of connected devices every year. That proliferation has led to a very much in-demand philosophy of edge computing, the idea that data can be kept closer to the edge of a network and further from core repositories.

But then that data, in many ways, can be more vulnerable, and that's another major challenge when it comes to maintaining security in the cloud.

Always Connected to the Web

There's a lot more we could talk about in terms of cloud security, but many of the biggest fears shared by security professionals boil down to one key issue – that by their nature, cloud services leave a network connected to the global Internet all the time.

That's where the hackers play.

Without access through the global Internet, hackers would have a much harder time breaking into any given network. But since cloud services are delivered over the Internet, they provide a handy avenue for various bad actors who want access.

DDoS attacks, Man-in-the-Middle attacks and other kinds of server attacks can all utilize cloud connectivity as a starting point for waging war on proprietary systems.

Think about these core concerns about how to handle cloud security, as vanguard security pros try to build in adequate barriers against the black hats.

Week 7 - Chapter 6: Scanning and Enumeration (Part 2)

Detecting the operating system of the target system

Fingerprinting can be used to identify the operating system used by the target. This can be done passively (e.g. sniffing traffic) or actively (e.g. craft your own packets to see the response). Obviously passive techniques reduce the chance of your activity on the network is protected.

Using nmap:

nmap -sS -O example.com

Banner grabbing is a method to gain information about the OS used on a system. Some examples of information found and the commands used can be found here.

Trying to stay hidden or anonymous One of the key things while performing a penetration test is to stay hidden (if replicating a real attacker). This means not being detected by IDS/IPS... Or if you are detected, your identity is kept anonymous

One more way that this could be achieved is to use a proxy which acts as a “middle man” of sorts which provides a variety of benefits:

Anonymise traffic

Can be used to filter traffic both in and out of the proxy

Proxies can be set up with a variety of different and free proxies used online. You can find one by typing in “’proxies” on a google search (and by changing your proxy settings o your browser). 

Alternatively, Tor can be used (although I believe that downloading and installing this browser puts you on a “blacklist” of sorts).

Extracting Information from the data gathered There are many different ports of interest that can be used...

Additionally some functions can be exploited, for example, SMTP servers (email servers) can be queried to verify usernames utilising the “VRFY”, “RCPT” and “EXPN” commands.

If the old NetBIOS is available on the system this is an easily exploitable API by using the “nbstat” utility (on Windows). Additionally, NULL sessions could be used to gain access to certain folders on the server.

5 tips to accelerate your company’s AI implementation

30-second summary:

The potential of artificial intelligence is almost boundless. AI solutions are starting to be introduced by organizations across many industries and fields.

A strong starting point for any AI implementation is to get buy-in from company decision-makers. If key stakeholders understand AI’s potential, they’ll properly resource any transition.

AI is particularly useful in the field of data analytics. If you are going to join the ‘Big Data’ era, you need robust data governance.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to AI implementation. You need to explore and test the different tools and solutions available to you.

Don’t neglect the human side of your business in seeking AI-driven answers to your problems. Make sure you train staff effectively in all automation or AI tools you introduce.

It’s not insider information to know the unmatched potential of company-wide AI implementation. Even with all the advancement in recent years, it still feels like we’re only beginning to see what artificial intelligence can do.

There are countless examples of enterprises across dozens of sectors using AI for diverse tasks and processes. Algorithms help firms to predict customer behavior and buying patterns, optimize supply chains, personalize experiences, understand your workforce, and even help you find Waldo. 

For some companies, though, implementing and accelerating full-scale implementation is a daunting prospect. Many have concerns over vendors, integration ability, cost, and privacy and regulatory issues. Is the juice even worth the squeeze given these challenges?

So, if you’re thinking of further adopting AI into your processes, or you have begun the transition and are finding it frustrating or tedious, here are five ways to reach your goals quicker.  

Source: McKinsey & Company

1) Secure executive sponsorship

Like SaaS examples before it, AI is ushering in a new way to do things compared to on-premise software. But with the change, comes challenge. Having C-suite buy-in is crucial for success.

The more informed and engaged the higher-ups are in the uses of AI, the better the chances of enterprise-wide adoption. “Strong executive leadership goes hand-in-hand with stronger AI adoption.

Respondents from firms that have successfully deployed an AI technology at scale tended to rate C-suite support nearly twice as high as those from companies that had not adopted AI technology,” according to this McKinsey Global Institute study. 

If there’s no business leader positioned to take the lead of your AI transition, you’re already off to a bad start. Make sure that those in executive positions are tasked with different facets of an AI integration program.

Each step also must be staffed appropriately to drive the process, without being afraid to change the management over the course of a campaign to be successful. 

Schedule a weekly teleconference with the key stakeholders to ensure roles are constantly refined, and everyone’s kept in the loop in terms of the adoption status. 

It’s also worth stressing that you – as the head of this campaign – need to be able to dictate resources, investment, and overall strategy across the organization. This includes actively engaging those around you for support with AI strategy, human and IT assets, and cultural adoption.

It would help if you made cultural adoption a priority by holding organizational leaders accountable as they execute the revisions needed to continue the transformation. C-suite must remove barriers and obstacles, both technical and cultural, to increase your chances of success. 

Once C-suite is aligned with your goals, you need to determine how you wish to manage and control the budget. That’s especially true if your current landscape is made up of competing internal analytics or AI efforts. 

Lastly, don’t forget to celebrate and communicate progress to your organization. This helps bolster the commitment from executives as well as gain support for the transformation.

2) Define data management and governance

Smarter and more accessible ‘self-service’ and team collaboration software brings with it an increase in data, data sources, and more end-user expectation.

As a result, the demand for proper data governance becomes essential. Without it, the data sits without a purpose in a data lake or warehouse. Look at it this way, more data without restriction can give businesses more freedom.

However, at an enterprise level, it can mean missed steps, inefficient outputs, and oversights. Faster analytics may become a problem before it feels like a solution.

It’s critical to address this with support from executives. This means defined resources to manage and enhance data collection, efficiency, and usage across all vital functions.

The data governance team must, additionally, set out and oversee data policies, standards, definitions, and manage data quality. 

Remember, not all data is equal. Define what needs executive control, and which data can be made publicly available for use. 

Given today’s availability of more user-friendly analytics and visualization tools, how much ‘self-service’ can be allowed to create better predictive models or different ways of creating new business processes? Who can define these datasets and use cases?

These are vital aspects to consider, as there’s a balance that needs to be struck between being rigid and protective and being flexible. This, again, highlights the importance of a useful data governance model.

Too much control can mean slow processes, lack of response, red-tape, the need for things like email verification, and overt use of business-led IT solutions.

Too much flexibility can mean different versions of the truth, leading to no real ownership or responsibility, conflict, and a reduction in productivity. 

Source: KPMG 

As you make decisions about AI, a data governance process allows you to implement and manage said decisions. Including who can access what, how much access, and what that access entails. 

3) Take a consider and test approach as opposed to success or failure

All AI adoptions are unique and present their own sets of challenges. And so, you need to begin all AI introductions with a ‘test and refine’ method as opposed to a ‘success or failure’ approach. 

Conventionally, analytical methods infer a defined relationship between variables. Trialing a one-sided hypothesis will either validate or reject it, but won’t uncover the hidden connection between the variables; the why. 

Creating hypotheticals for each step, and then using these learnings and experiences through the next ones is critical. It means refining and curating your AI deployment until it feels like a workable solution that delivers meaningful results is a much easier process. 

And, while this approach will inevitably extend deployment deadlines, it also allows you to fine-tune the outcome to incorporate real-life lessons learned.

If you’re integrating AI into computerised customer service like automated chatbots, it’s vital no matter where the customer goes there’s an answer waiting for them. It can’t work up until a certain point, it needs absolutes. Ultimate solutions will then align with the employee and end-user needs. 

Source: PWC

4) Spend time on change management and training

Deploying an AI API to ingest a new dataset is straightforward. However, altering the management and training for analysts who’ll be using these processes going forward is a challenge. 

Most forms of AI create automated decisions – “yes” or “no.” However, it is often the case that the integration of ML algorithms can allow for more subtle responses as well. These responses may be used in conjunction with existing processes to deliver the best results. 

For example, if an AI decision scores say, a loan application on a 1-10 scale of suitability, scores from 7-10 may yield an automatic yes.

However, anything lower will still require human input to grant or deny the application. If you’re integrating AI to analyze voice commands in a call center over VoIP communications, how can it distinguish commands deeper than just “option 1 or option 2”? 

Just as you would spend time training employees on how to use a specific process, the same is true for AI-based outcomes. 

Human employees may need to spend a few weeks analyzing the results coming back from the AI algorithms. That would give them a frame of reference in terms of how to interpret the scores best.

If you’re using an AI vendor, they can guide in terms of how to understand results and how employees can get the most out of the new system. Otherwise, learning how to create an online learning platform could be a worthwhile investment to get team members up to speed. 

AI isn’t ‘magic.’ It’s just a way to understand patterns and behaviors to deliver more accurate results and make predictions. AI only works when it has a defined problem to solve and the right metrics to succeed. If you haven’t clearly defined the issue you’ve bought AI in to solve, you won’t get the right solution.

5) Consolidate and assimilate automation

As you ramp up enterprise-wide AI adoption, what these processes look like in the future will change with the introduction of a multitude of types of automation. From complete manual processes all the way to the adoption of RPA, and even more advanced AI protocols. 

It’s best to just (and I know it’s a big just) re-invent business processes from the ground up with AI in mind. You can then apply the best tool for the job at any given step.

Merely inserting RPA or AI into established processes may mean you miss out on all of its potential. You also need to consider the handoffs that need to happen as you further integrate. 

This includes human-machine or machine-machine learning. By streamlining the handoffs and making them more seamless and reliable, you can further enhance your future processes to be cost-effective, competitive, and agile. 

Source: Harvard Business Review

AI implementation can be sped up. However, it’s not necessarily about being smarter; it’s about making the right choices. Having executive buy-in combined with a defined data governance team is vital.

As is becoming fixated with data quality, dedicating enough time to change management, and having a test without defined expectations approach. 

If you’re finding your AI project taking up too much time, be patient. Like any kind of digital transformation, just as you’re approaching the finish line, you’ll likely encounter another hurdle. Overcome it, though, and the possibilities are boundless.

Initial criteria proposal

Pass criteria stuff

Credit criteria stuff

Distinction criteria stuff

High Distinction criteria stuff

(all these links include a reflection of how I went in that section with problems I faced and how I solved it and also includes a link to all blogs)

What I learnt?

During the length of the project, I learnt a wide range of different things about key loggers and issues that may surround them. Some of these things include

What keyloggers are?

Why they are used?

Various case studies outlining incidents involving keyloggers, how it was done and what was the impact?

How keyloggers are distributed throughout the internet?

The difference between why an attacker would target a specific person or why they would randomly distribute a keylogger.

Whether there are any positive uses for keyloggers

Ethical considerations

How to develop a key logger

What are some normal functions of keyloggers

How to distribute my keylogger to another person’s device

Common mistakes users make that result in them having a key logger on their device

How to retrieve data from a target back to me

Technical details about how keystrokes are recorded on computers

How can we protect ourselves and our data?

Are there any behaviours we must change in order to protect our information?

How can we protect ourselves and our data? Are there any behaviours we must change in order to protect our information?

According to McAfee in 2008 over 84% of all malware is expected to be disguised by a rootkit this is because keyloggers and rootkits are very hard to detect and remove, capable of causing considerable damage to the network infrastructure and pose a large risk to personal information.

The Sony rootkit is an example of this that was undetectable by firewalls and all anti-virus software and was able to spy on users and create vulnerabilities that other hackers could exploit.

The effectiveness of countermeasures against key loggers varies due to the difference in complexity and functionality. Due to this, the best thing to do is to first limit your chances of getting infected by a keylogger. But what measures must we implement in order to have our systems protected:

·     User education: most important thing to remember is to stay cautious. If people understand what these programs can do and how dangerous they are, then they can be smarter with their digital fingerprint and how they use their computer. So, don’t download free software that seems dodgy, don’t download any software that you don’t trust or just as a general rule be careful with the things you download from the internet.

·     Refrain from entering banking information on the internet: if it’s not necessary to enter your banking or other private credit card information across the internet then don’t. This will limit the chance an attacker gathers this data. Never keep a text file of this information on your computer.

·     Use trusted password managers: having a trusted password manager will restrict the number of times you type your password over the internet which will result in a lower chance of someone taking this information. Never store passwords as plain text on your personal device.

·     Keep your system updated: always make sure that your operating system is maintained and kept up to date with the latest version. There are always new vulnerabilities that are found and not having the security of our systems updated to the latest version could be a target for an attack.

·     Use a firewall: a keylogger has to transmit its information back to the attacker for it to do any harm. If you have a firewall set in place it will make it harder for the data to be sent out of your computer via the internet.

·     Additional software like anti-keyloggers: tools designed to detect keylogger on a computer by comparing all files in the computer against a database of keyloggers looking for similarities which might signal the presence of a hidden keylogger. some examples of these include Ghostpress, which is a free anti-keylogger and KL-Detector, a basic keylogging detection tool that alerts you if a keylogger is present but lets you remove it yourself.

·     Use a VPN: have a virtual private network to ensure confidentiality whilst browsing the internet

·     Anti-spyware/ Anti-virus detection software: tools that are able to detect some software-based keylogger and remove them from your system. They, however, have hard time detecting hooks or API based keyloggers.

·     Automatic form fillers: may prevent keylogging by removing the requirement for users to type personal details using the keyboard. They are designed to primarily work in web browsers to fill checkout pages and log user account details.

·     Keystroke interference software: programs that attempt to trick the keyloggers by introducing random keystrokes. This effectively means that the logging software has your data plus random other characters dispersed throughout the log file.

·     Deceptive typing: methods that user can trick or log extra information by writing in the credentials and also type characters somewhere else on your computer. This means that the log file will have random information and not have the username and passwords given as plain texts. This means that the attacker will have to put some effort into decoding the text.

If you detect a keylogger on your computer, you can either try and find and kill the process, use an anti-keylogger to help with further detection or you can just reboot your computer with a new operating system which will not impact a hardware keylogger but could remove certain types of software keyloggers depending in what ring level they are situated in.  

Reference: https://web.archive.org/web/20110717104243/http://www.trlokom.com/pdf/TrlokomRootkitDefenseWhitePaper.pdf

What is next??

Whilst implementing and working on my key logger, I kept coming across information on various applications of rootkits. I found it very interesting and actually spend some time reading about all the different things they can do. I think that if implemented properly it will be a very powerful tool that allows a person to have a lot of power over a device.

I will spend some time after my exams, probably in the holidays, to try and create a rootkit. I have found a few textbooks that walk programmers through how to create one so I think I will start with that and then see how I go from there. Maybe once I get root access I can hook a keylogger on the kernel which will be a different type and style of implementation.  

I found this really great with helping me and walking me through how to create a functioning keylogger: https://github.com/crhenr/python-hacking-tools

Mulesoft Training in Hyderabad

Mule, the runtime engine of Any point Platform, is a lightweight Java-based enterprise service bus (ESB) and integration Mulesoft Training in Hyderabad platform that allows developers to connect applications together quickly and easily, enabling them to exchange data.

It empowers simple mix of existing frameworks, paying little mind to the various innovations that the applications use, including JMS, Web Services, JDBC, HTTP, and that's just the beginning. The ESB can be conveyed anyplace, can coordinate and arrange occasions continuously or in cluster, and has general availability.

The key bit of leeway of an ESB is that it enables various applications to speak with one another by going about as a travel framework for conveying information between applications inside your endeavor or over the Internet. Donkey has amazing abilities that include:

· Service creation and facilitating — uncover and have reusable administrations, utilizing the ESB as a lightweight administration holder

· Service intervention — shield administrations from message configurations and conventions, separate business rationale from informing, and empower area free administration calls

· Message directing — course, channel, total, and re-succession messages dependent on substance and guidelines

· Data change — trade information crosswise over shifting arrangements and transport conventions

Why Mule?

Donkey is lightweight however very Flexible, enabling you to begin little and associate more applications after some time. The ESB deals with every one of the connections among applications and segments straightforwardly, paying little heed to whether they exist in the equivalent virtual machine or over the Internet, and paying little heed to the hidden transport convention utilized.

There are at present a few business ESB usage available. Be that as it may, a significant number of these give constrained usefulness or are based over a current application server or informing server, locking you into that particular seller. Donkey is merchant nonpartisan, so unique seller executions can connect to it. You are never secured to a particular seller when you use Mule.

Donkey gives numerous favorable circumstances over contenders, including:

· Mule parts can be any sort you need. You can without much of a stretch coordinate anything from a "plain old Java object" (POJO) to a part from another system.

· Mule and the ESB model empower huge segment reuse. In contrast to different systems, Mule enables you to utilize your current parts with no changes. Segments don't require any Mule-explicit code to keep running in Mule, and there is no automatic API required. The business rationale is kept totally separate from the informing rationale.

· Messages can be in any arrangement from SOAP to twofold picture records. Donkey does not drive any plan requirements on the designer, for example, XML informing or WSDL administration contracts.

· You can convey Mule in an assortment of topologies, not simply ESB. Since it is lightweight and embeddable, Mule can drastically diminish time to market and expands profitability for undertakings to give secure, versatile applications that are versatile to switch and can scale up or down as required.

· Mule's stage occasion driven engineering (SEDA) makes it very adaptable. A noteworthy monetary administrations organization forms billions of exchanges for each day with Mule crosswise over a large number of Mule servers in a profoundly circulated condition.

Donkey Enterprise

There are two releases of Mule: Community and Enterprise.

No, we won’t get into statistics as to how well personal loan is doing in India (we will cover that in another post). But, we will speak about personal loan and its rapid rise in popularity. Banks and credit institutions have comprehended the extent and scalability of digital lending.

Developing an app is not enough to appease salaried millennials. Umpteen steps in getting personal loan approved are no more acceptable. Who has the time to stand in never ending queues? Banks need to reinvent themselves or might be left far behind by emerging startups and Fintechs.

Personal Loan in India

The emphasis on banks and offline lending services would be to focus on building a seamless and digital application process. Everyone is already using smartphone and nobody has the time to visit the bank to wait in long queues. Faster credit underwriting is one more area which needs improvement by offline lending services. Time and research has to be spent to understand what millennials are looking for. There has to be a well-structured strategy, keeping in mind competencies. Two areas to keep in mind this year are

Flexibility – Architecture and systems for digital lending must be flexible to customization. Real time requirements such as addition of external APIs are to be allowed on the go.

Design – The design should be focused on the end user. Understanding borrower profiles, their demographics, social media presence, etc. need to be taken into consideration.

Eliminating paper and cutting time delays has to be the priority for offline lending services. The friction that is caused due to unending paperwork and approval time has to be addressed. Digital analytics is needed to better understand borrower needs and that too in real time. Alerts, notifications and intimations need to be sent out in real time as and when the loan application is submitted, approved and amount disbursed.

Online Personal Loan in India

A personal loan is an unsecured loan that solves your quick fund requirements. As it is an unsecured loan, it does not require any collateral. For salaried individuals, gathering funds within a short span of time, is not possible via traditional banking solutions. These solutions that take up to weeks to disburse funds. For a personal loan, the borrower’s creditworthiness determines if he/she can pay the loan EMIs regularly, and that too, without straining his/her daily living.

No collateral – Having no collateral gives a personal loan an advantage over a secured loan. Even if you do not own any assets, you can at least get funds from Loan Singh.

Multiple purposes – A personal loan can be availed for a number of purposes – such as shopping, buying consumer durables, celebrating festivals, buying used vehicles, getting the latest gadget, traveling for a holiday, home improvement, job relocation, medical emergencies, home renovation, marriage arrangements, etc.

Best Personal Loan Website?

If banks are slow to provide quick personal loan digitally, then which is the best online personal loan website to trust? Despite India’s digital lending sector still being in growth phase, one Fintech player has managed to tread farther than others in the segment.

The name of this Fintech is Seynse Technologies. Seynse Technologies has also been a proud partner in launch of the Airtel Online Store and has developed Loan Singh – A digital lending platform which lets salaried individuals apply and avail quick online personal loan.

Loan Singh Review

Loan Singh presents a number of advantages over other online platforms. Some of these advantages are

Minimal documentation

Fixed monthly EMIs

No hidden fees

Easy online loan application process

Transparent process

Things to Consider When Applying for a Personal Loan

Before applying for an online personal loan, remember the following pointers

Eligibility

Just because you have internet, and you need funds, does not mean Loan Singh will approve your loan application. You need to be at least 21 years of age and salaried. The minimum monthly salary must be Rs.20,000. A competent credit score is key to get that ‘Amount Credited’ SMS plonking on your smartphone.

Research

Everyone does this, and so should you. Despite Loan Singh’s digital presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIN, Google Business, Medium, Blogarama and Pinterest, you need to understand how digital lending is different from offline modes. Read about Loan Singh’s FAQs and find out what is needed to be kept handy during the online application process.

Amount

The amount you need to borrow will be based on your income and repayment capacity. The amount should also be backed to be used for a valid purpose. Ensure that you make use of the funds for the designated purpose only – which could either be for a second-hand vehicle personal loan, home renovation personal loan, marriage personal loan, travel holiday personal loan, etc.

EMI

Just because you are eligible for an online personal loan, does not mean your job is done. It is wise to apply for a personal loan, based on your financial capability. This you can do by checking Loan Singh’s EMI calculator. Taking a personal loan is like jumping on a trampoline. You get the funds to spend in times of need, but you do need to repay it back. So, during the application phase itself, have the repayment amount figured out.

Process

The process is easy and breezy. You can apply for a personal loan from your home, while traveling from work in an Uber, while being stuck at a traffic signal, etc. As long as you have internet access and can log in to your Gmail or Net-banking account, you can finish the process in a short time of 15 minutes or less.

Purpose

Utilize the amount for exactly the purpose you have mentioned. For example: do not spend the wedding personal loan amount on unwanted wasteful indulgences. Focus on making use of the funds solely for celebrating your marriage. Remember, applying for credit at various credit institutions leads to hard inquiries to credit rating organizations, and denial of a loan application will adversely affect your credit score, as well.

Second loan

Sometimes, it is better to be safe than sorry. There could be an instance when you may not be eligible for the loan amount you need, and so you will continue hunting for funds at different banks. Try not to do that. Stay away from putting your monthly EMI obligations at risk. Clear one loan and then apply for the next. Being prompt with your loan repayments, with Loan Singh, helps you not only to improve your credit score but also build a good repayment history with Loan Singh, and thereby get a second loan with ease. Loan Singh also provides debt consolidation personal loan among its numerable personal loan categories.

Default

The most basic of all pointers – missing out on EMI repayments. This could hit your credit score in a bad way. Adding to that, the penalty for missing an EMI can easily lead to added expenses each month. Procrastinating with the EMIs can slowly push it to a point of no return. Ensure you keep reminders about the EMI due-date or you can easily set-up an auto debit feature and allow Loan Singh to deduct the EMI from your account each month. Just ensure you have sufficient funds in your bank account.
