Developing and maintaining secure code at scale is hard. Having the right Static Application Security Testing (SAST) solution makes it easier, but how are practitioners to choose? In the following interview, you’ll learn about three emerging trends from detailed analysis of the SAST landscape in The Forrester Wave™: Static Application Security Testing, Q3 2023.

Cybersecurity is about speed. The faster you can detect an attack, the faster you can respond and stop adversaries in their tracks — and they are steadily growing quicker and more sophisticated, with an average breakout time of only 79 minutes. Companies with the ability to perform under pressure are in the best position to defend against modern threats. But speed is a common problem for many organizations.

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a detailed, machine-readable, nested list of all of the third-party components and their dependencies that compose a modern software product. SBOMs have particular importance in the health, finance, critical infrastructure, and military sectors, and in mergers and acquisitions, but all industries and applications can benefit from them. SBOMs have been around for over a decade but they’ve gained serious traction in the wake of the SolarWinds breach.

Businesses of all sizes are increasingly reliant on technology to conduct their operations efficiently. While technology offers numerous benefits, it also exposes organizations to a growing threat—cyber attacks (or cyberattacks). As the frequency and sophistication of cyber threats continue to rise, businesses are turning to a crucial safeguard: cyber attack insurance.

Secure your digital landscape and maintain compliance with regulations by embracing an Identity Access Management (IAM) system. In this guide, you will learn the significance of IAM, its key components as well as how to implement it in your organisation and manage access to identity management solutions more effectively – securing sensitive data from unauthorised personnel so that employees can easily gain access to all necessary tools for their job roles.

With today’s dynamic cybersecurity threat landscape, governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) can’t afford to be stuck lagging and playing catch-up. It needs to be leading the pack, ensuring organizations are compliant, protected, communicative, and driving business success.

For almost a century, artificial intelligence (AI) has been depicted in our media. Starting with Fritz Lang’s 1927 film, “Metropolis,” and through major blockbusters like The Terminator series, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and “Her,” these movies have all included or focused on AI’s potential impact.

MGM Resorts has announced that it will be shutting down 12 of its hotels and casinos in and around Las Vegas. The reason—a ransomware attack of unknown magnitude on servers containing a goldmine of customer data. MGM reports that it managed to detect the breach at a fairly early stage and notify the authorities and law enforcement, but the damage incurred is yet to be evaluated.

Earlier this summer, the internet was taken by storm by three critical vulnerabilities affecting MOVEit Transfer, a file-transferring software solution widely used by high-profile companies to store and share, in some cases, even the most sensitive business information.

Vulnerability management is difficult and not getting any easier. CISOs and security teams struggle to keep their organizations safe from cyber security threats that come from software flaws. A big part of the challenge is the growing number of vulnerabilities that need to be fixed and the lack of resources available to remediate them.
