CI/CD stands for continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery/ continuous deployment (CD). CI/CD automates the process of integrating code changes and deploying them to production environments, ensuring frequent, reliable updates with minimal manual intervention. Continuous delivery takes this further by automating the process of preparing code for release, ensuring it's always in a deployable state. Continuous deployment, an advanced step, automates the release of code to production immediately after passing all tests, without human approval.

Rooting refers to gaining root access or administrative privileges on an Android device, like access to commands, system files, and folder locations usually locked off. This allows users to overcome limitations imposed by the device manufacturers or carriers, enabling the modification of system settings, removal of pre-installed apps, and installation of specialized apps that require root access. Rooting can enhance device functionality but also poses significant security risks, as it can expose the device to malware and void warranties.

A Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack occurs when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters the communication between two parties without their knowledge. The attacker positions themselves between the victim and the intended service, enabling them to eavesdrop on sensitive data like passwords or financial information, or inject malicious content into the communication.

Runtime application self-protection (RASP) is a security technology that uses runtime instrumentation to detect and block attacks in real time. RASP protects apps from the inside out by adding security that is part of the app. It offers one or more of the following abilities: Proactively manages the real threat of sophisticated malware, Detects and prevents fraudulent activities. Connection to the app runtime processes and environment for enhanced performance and reliability.
