Effectively responding to cloud security incidents can be daunting for organizations expanding rapidly in the cloud. Whether you face a policy violation or an active threat, quick and reliable alerting and response are essential to keeping cloud services secure and available. For many organizations, Sysdig and PagerDuty each play a critical role in automating DevSecOps and helping modern IT operations and security teams respond effectively.

On March 14, 2025, the popular GitHub action tj-actions/changed-files was compromised, exposing secrets in CI logs. GitGuardian's analysis identified leaked secrets like GitHub tokens, AWS keys, and more.

Speed and innovation rule in software development, which makes it easy to overlook one crucial aspect: security. As a Staff Solutions Engineer at Snyk, I’ve seen firsthand how a single overlooked vulnerability can spiral into a crisis, affecting businesses, customers, and trust. Secure coding isn’t just about writing better code—it’s about protecting what matters, which includes the credibility and reputation of individuals, teams, and the business.

Developers are trapped in a loop: constantly chasing dependency upgrades to mitigate security risks or chasing down security reports of vulnerable code or findings in the CI pipeline. Developers often refer to this as “vulnerability fatigue,” a term commonly referenced in npm package install logs that list the newly introduced security vulnerabilities for third-party dependencies.

If you are a mature organization, you might manage an external IP block of 65,000 IP addresses (equivalent to a /16 network). In contrast, very large organizations like Apple may handle an astonishing 16.7 million IP addresses or more (about a /8 network). However, this isn’t the case for many of us. IP addresses are fixed assets and can be costly, so most modern organizations do not have a large number of directly assigned IP addresses for every service they expose to the internet.

Today, Cato Networks published the 2025 Cato CTRL Threat Report. It is the inaugural annual threat report from Cato CTRL, the Cato Networks threat intelligence team. The key theme for this year’s report is artificial intelligence (AI), which reflects the current cybersecurity landscape where AI usage is skyrocketing among vendors—and threat actors. Within the report, we examine the security risks associated with LLMs and the increased adoption of AI applications within organizations in 2024.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is the EU’s answer to ensuring digital operational resilience in financial services. This wide-reaching regulation applies to over 22,000 financial entities and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) service providers operating within the EU. But what does achieving compliance with the EU’s vision for resilience in digital financial operations look like?

In today’s evolving cloud landscape, balancing security and compliance is becoming increasingly more challenging. Security is essential for protecting an organization’s applications, resources, and data from threats, while compliance ensures a commitment to building services that align with industry standards. Although these goals overlap as key components of a strong security posture, they require distinct approaches that can be challenging to integrate.

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at metrics that offer insight into the effectiveness of your threat detection systems and team response during a security incident. With this information, you have a starting point for identifying gaps in your organization’s security posture and the ability to respond to threats.

Github Copilot became the subject of critical security concerns, mainly because of jailbreak vulnerabilities that allow attackers to modify the tool’s behavior. Two attack vectors – Affirmation Jailbreak and Proxy Hijack – lead to malicious code generation and unauthorized access to premium AI models. But that’s not all. Contents hide 1 Jailbreaking GitHub Copilot 1.1 Affirmation jailbreak? “Sure,” let’s exploit the AI system(s) 2 Proxy Hijack.
