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.

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.

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.

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.

When high profile security events happen, it is essential for you and your team to have the information you require right at your fingertips. Using Panoptica’s powerful graph database and easy to use query engine, you are easily able to discover all the assets in all your cloud environments that could have compromised software installed.

Every day that an application is anything less than ‘fully secure’ is a day for a potential data breach. Consumer data, sensitive business information, monetary transactions, and business reputation; everything is at stake. Investing in effective web application security is the best and only way to mitigate the risk of financial losses and reputational damage for businesses. This blog presents a comprehensive blueprint for implementing best practices in application security.

Software development moves fast, and many application security teams struggle to keep up. More sophisticated agile, DevOps, and cloud practices, along with the growing use of AI, mean more agility for development teams. However, these innovations are a challenge for security teams, as they must move at this same speed in order to secure applications effectively. Application security posture management (ASPM) directly responds to these emerging challenges.

Let’s not waste time. You’re here because you’re building a webhook feature in your app. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things that can go wrong from a security perspective. This article aims to ensure that you’re not making any well-known mistakes while building webhooks.

In today's cloud technology landscape, Kubernetes is widely used to orchestrate containerized applications, enabling deployment, scaling, and management. Applications in a Kubernetes environment benefit from high availability and resource efficiency, making them ideal for cloud-native development. However, challenges with filesystem consistency due to the ephemeral nature of containers can lead to discrepancies when they are restarted or modified.

During the Open Security Summit 2024, Yahoo! Principal Security Engineer Mert Coskuner and Kondukto CEO & Co-Founder Cenk Kalpakoglu delved into the intriguing topic of securing CI Runners through eBPF agents. Although the title might seem unconventional, it reflects their creative approach to solving security challenges in continuous integration environments. With the rapid digital transformation of businesses, there has been an increasing focus on supply chain attacks and their impact on security.
