We recently wrote about npm audit fix, which is an add-on to the excellent npm audit, that has become a fundamental tool for managing software packages in Node.js projects. However, developers working with other languages also require specialized tools for Software Composition Analysis (SCA). At Jit, our tool of choice for SCA scanning across a diversity of programming languages is OSV Scanner, a best of breed OSS solution maintained by Google.

Cybersecurity has always been a complex field. Its adversarial nature means the margins between failure and success are much finer than in other sectors. As technology evolves, those margins get even finer, with attackers and defenders scrambling to exploit them and gain a competitive edge. This is especially true for AI.

In the 50th episode of the Trust Issues podcast, host David Puner interviews Justin Hutchens, an innovation principal at Trace3 and co-host of the Cyber Cognition podcast (along with CyberArk’s resident Technical Evangelist, White Hat Hacker and Transhuman Len Noe). They discuss the emergence and potential misuse of generative AI, especially natural language processing, for social engineering and adversarial hacking.

There has been widespread discussion about the potential impact of AI on society. While the UK Government has played an active role in shaping the conversation around the security and safety of AI, it has also demonstrated its intention to embrace AI where productivity and efficiency benefits may be found.

Software development teams face a constant dilemma: striking the right balance between speed and security. How is artificial intelligence (AI) impacting this dilemma? With the increasing use of AI in the development process, it's essential to understand the risks involved and how we can maintain a secure environment without compromising on speed. Let’s dive in.

In a landmark development, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has unveiled its pioneering Artificial Intelligence Roadmap, marking a significant stride towards incorporating generative AI models into federal agencies' operations. Under the leadership of Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas and Chief Information Officer Eric Hysen, DHS aims to harness AI technologies to bolster national security while safeguarding individual privacy and civil liberties.

Over the last year there has been a prevailing sentiment that while AI will not necessarily be replacing humans, humans who use AI will replace those that don’t.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, a subtle yet potent form of phishing has emerged — quishing, short for QR phishing. It has been 30 years since the invention of QR codes, yet quishing still poses a significant risk, especially after the era of COVID, when QR codes became the norm to check statuses, register for events, and even order food.

A guest post by James Berthoty the founder of Latio Tech. The shift to cloud has meant an explosion in cloud security-related acronyms – so many that it can be difficult to know what you currently have versus what’s missing or available. First we bought CSPMs (Cloud Security Posture Management), then CWPPs (Cloud Workload Protection Platforms), then CNAPPs (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform), then CDRs (Cloud Detection Response), and now KDRs (Kubernetes Detection Response).
