With over 50,000 in attendance, AWS re:Invent 2023 had generative AI taking center stage at keynotes, race cars, and robots wowing at the Expo. Once again, Snyk showed up in a big way. Some of our highlights included being awarded the AWS ISV Partner of the Year in EMEA and UKI, achieving AWS Security Competency, and several new integrations with AWS services. Best of all, we got to meet all of you!
The landscape of coding is changing as developers embrace AI, automation, microservices, and third-party libraries to boost productivity. While each new approach enhances efficiency, like a double-edged sword, flaws and vulnerabilities are also introduced faster than teams can fix them. Learn about one of the latest innovations solving this in a recap of what our security experts discussed at AWS re:Invent 2023.
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence, more specifically, generative AI systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has simultaneously spurred intense development and concern over the past year. On the 30th of October, President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order that urges new federal standards for AI development, safety, security, and trustworthiness that also address many other facets of AI risk.
Proprietary severity scoring often burdens AppSec teams. With every new vendor, you must evaluate their custom severity framework and work to translate assessed risk between tools. To eliminate this burden and provide our customers with a clear security assessment for configurations across the SDLC, Snyk will be moving towards standardizing our code to cloud security rules set on the Common Configuration Scoring System (CCSS)!
Phishing, already a serious, ever-present threat, is getting even more pernicious thanks to ChatGPT, which enables threat actors to craft more realistic emails. Clearly, organizations need a way to fight back that recognizes the depth of the threat, including by employing managed detection and response services.
So, you’ve dipped your toes into the cloud, chasing after that sweet combo of efficiency, scalability, and innovation. But, hold up – with great power comes great responsibility. It’s time to build up those digital defenses against all the lurking risks that come with the cloud craze.
