6-minute overview of the Ekran System Insider Threat Management Platform showcasing user activity monitoring, user behavior analytics, employee monitoring, and insider threat detection.

Thanks to containerization and automation, applications are being developed and delivered faster than ever. With tools such as AWS ECR, developers are able to store, manage and deploy Docker container images without having to worry about operating their own container repositories or scaling the underlying infrastructure. With this, however, arise challenges around managing the security and compliance aspect of your container images. With tools such as WhiteSource, developers are able to manage the security of their containers and container images with no impact on agility and speed.

Application security is a top priority today for companies that are developing software. However, it is also becoming more challenging and complex as release frequency continues to rise, more open source components are adopted, and the requirements for data security are getting stricter. Thanks to new DevOps practices and tools, development cycles are getting shorter, allowing organizations to meet market demands and deliver a superior customer experience, but is application security keeping up?

Is your organization ready to embrace a DevOps mindset? Receive a pragmatic view from an agent of chaos, who’s promoting the goal for a single continuous integration and delivery pipeline, shifting testing, security, code reviews, and other opportunities to improve information sharing and quality to the left, shifting configuration to the right, and most importantly, aiming to delight users with constant value.

It is no secret - open source has become the main building block in modern applications, and it is almost impossible to develop software at today's pace without it. However, as the open source community grows, and the number of reported vulnerabilities keeps climbing, manually verifying the security and compliance of open source components can no longer provide the necessary control over the security of these components.

Over the past few years, open source has grown in popularity especially among developers using open source code in their application development efforts. In the security space, however, open source hasn’t been as widely embraced, mostly because of concerns over vulnerabilities. But is open source software really less secure?

Last week The Forrester Wave™: Software Composition Analysis, Q2 2019 was published. We took part in MediaOps panel discussion to discuss the results of the report and which SCA vendors are right for software development and security teams and their needs.

2020 Has left many people feeling like we’re living in an alternate reality as COVID-19 sweeps the globe, changing life as we know it. Companies ultimately have no choice but to embrace the reality of a fully remote workforce where reliance on technology becomes critical to business continuity.

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council recently released a new security framework to replace the previous standard (PCI PA-DSS). The new framework is set to better address the changes that the software development industry has seen in the past few years. Agile and DevOps methodologies, cloud and containerized environments and widespread open source usage have become the new normal and with this, present new AppSec challenges. To ensure that users of payment apps remain safe, the new framework aims to lay a substantial value on continuous application security.

Employees are continually expected to be continuously accessible and to interact in today's work environment. If the corporation approves, workers will be using their personal computers for work. Rather of overlooking the inevitable, companies should establish and enforce a BYOD policy that safeguards the company and combines profitability with protection.
