Forrester’s Annual State of Application Security Report has become a touchstone for organizations on their journey to achieve AppSec maturity. As the software development industry and threat landscape continue to evolve, Forrester’s State of Application Security Report for 2021’s main message is that while applications are still a major attack vector, analysts found signs of hope in their research.

Nowadays, developers are responsible for more than just creating the application. Besides working on features, developers have to focus on their applications’ maintainability, scalability, reliability, and security. Many developers are unsure of where to start with security. In addition, most companies still work with a dedicated security team instead of having security expertise inside the team. A lot of developers practically live in their integrated development environment (IDE).

We now live in an era where the security of all layers of the software stack is immensely important, and simply open-sourcing a code base is not enough to ensure that security vulnerabilities surface and are addressed. At Teleport, we see it as a necessity to engage a third party that specializes in acting as an adversary, and provide an independent analysis of our sources.

We’re pleased to announce our new plugin for JetBrains IDEs, making it easier for developers to find and fix security issues as they code! Snyk’s new free JetBrains IDE plugin enables developers using IntelliJ IDEA and WebStorm to easily find and fix known vulnerabilities in their open source dependencies as well as any security issues and bugs in their own code.

As you may have heard, a massive breach of Microsoft Exchange servers was revealed in the last several weeks. The attack is not over yet. We can always wait for another attack and blame another vendor, but when it comes to Microsoft, well, who can we rely on after that? SolarWinds, Centreon and now Microsoft Exchange… With almost 80% enterprise market share, the Exchange holds the biggest secrets of our times, and now nobody knows where they went.

We’re pleased to announce support for viewing all of your Snyk Infrastructure as Code (Snyk IaC) configuration issues in the reporting functionality of the Snyk platform.
