The Open Web Application Security Project (aka OWASP) recently announced its latest updates to the venerable OWASP Top Ten list. This publication is meant to bring attention to the most common classes of software-related security issues facing developers and organizations in the hopes of helping them to better plan for and address potential high-severity issues in their codebases.
Hello, Clint Pollock, principal solutions architect here to explain how to use Veracode completely from a command prompt in your IDE or CI/CD system. I’m going to teach you how to submit a static policy scan and a static sandbox scan. Then, I’m going to clean up some builds using the API, submit a static pipeline scan, a software composition analysis scan, and a dynamic scan … all from the command prompt. Let's get started!
We recently spoke with Amy Berman, Security Strategic Operations Lead at MongoDB about the role of security champions at her organization.

There is a movement in the IT security world that is gaining traction, and it is based around the implementation of security within applications from the beginning. You may have heard buzzwords like “AppSec”, “DevSecOps” and “Shift Left”, but what do they actually mean? What does it take to “Shift Left” when developing a secure application? You can read about dealing with dependencies in our blog post.
Together, we look forward to helping more global businesses to innovate securely by combining Snyk’s static analysis with Hdiv’s interactive testing capabilities. This will allow these digital-first organizations to continue their rapid pace of innovation while staying secure through comprehensive application security – from code in development to running workloads in production.
