The languages invented then, including Fortran, are still in use today due to their versatility and ability to underpin a large majority of the older portions of our digital world and applications. Fortran, or Formula Translation, was a programming language implemented by IBM that shortened the apparatus of coding and the efficacy of the language syntax. Fortran marked the beginning of a new era of efficient programming by reducing the number of statements needed to operate a machine several-fold. Since then, dozens more languages have come into regular practice and have been increasingly diversified over the years. Some modern languages include Python, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, and PHP. These languages significantly improved efficiency and also have a broad range of uses. Python is mainly used for website/software development, data analysis, task automation, image processing, and graphic design applications. On the other hand, Java is primarily used as a client-side programming language. Expanding the coding languages allowed for increasing accessibility but also opened up applications to pertinent security issues. These security issues have varied by prevalence and language. Previous research has narrowed its focus on individual languages, failing to evaluate the security. This research paper investigates the severity and frequency of coding vulnerabilities comparatively across different languages and contextualizes their uses in a systematic literature review.展开更多

Ease and amount of storage and computational services provisions were not previously accessible or affordable. However, parallel to this explosion has been significant security risk concerns. Thus, it is important to understand and define these security risks in a cybersecurity framework. This paper will take a case study approach to approach past security risks and propose a model that can be followed by organizations to eliminate the risk of Cloud-related cyberattacks. The main aims of this systematic literature review (SLR) are to (1) address security risks/vulnerabilities that can target cloud environments, (2) define tools that can be used by organizations to defend their cloud environment against those security risks/vulnerabilities, and (3) analyze case studies of significant cyberattacks and provide recommendations for organizations to mitigate such cyberattacks. This paper will propose a novel cloud cybersecurity model from a two-pronged offensive and defensive perspective for implementation by organizations to enhance their security infrastructure.展开更多
