Cloud Detection and Response Has Evolving, Cloud-Scale Challenges

In our previous post, we explored the essentials of cloud detection and response (CDR), highlighting how the cloud's scale and complexity have transformed cybersecurity needs. We discussed the types of threats unique to the cloud and the broad benefits that CDR systems offer to organizations aiming to secure their cloud environments. This follow-up takes us deeper into some of the challenges that arise with detecting and responding to threats in the cloud.

5 Best Open Source Application Security Security Tools in 2024

As cybersecurity becomes increasingly important in software development, the “shift left” security approach is widely recognized as a best practice for ensuring superior application security. Numerous traditional security firms are introducing shift-left products and capabilities, and the concept is gaining traction. However, some open source application security tools are more developer-friendly than others.

The What and Why of Cloud Detection and Response

A recent survey from Gartner forecasts that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services will total $679 billion in 2024, and that number is expected to jump to $1 trillion in 2027. Businesses left and right are moving to the cloud. But as they make their move, the old ways of protecting data—like building a virtual wall around your data (“perimeter security”)—are proving inadequate.

360 degrees of application security with Snyk

Application development is a multistage process. The App goes through various stages, each with its own area of focus. However, application security, a.k.a. AppSec, is constant throughout all the stages. For example, when a developer codes, it’s expected that the code will be secure. Similarly, the artifacts that are worked upon or generated as an end output of the respective stages are all required to be secure.
