A policy, by definition, is a statement of management intent that is mandatory for an organization. A security policy, obviously, focuses on the security of information assets.

Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) commonly used to deploy applications and APIs, as well as functions, mobile apps, and more. It provides flexibility and reliability when deploying new applications and infrastructure, but it also introduces new security risks to your system. In particular, reduced visibility into the infrastructure and deployment of your application leads to a greater chance of application vulnerabilities being exploited by an attacker.

Navigating the complexities of modern application security presents a formidable challenge for organizations. The multitude of security tools and the effort to implement and maintain them often creates a tangled web of processes, which can result in inconsistent implementations, resource inefficiencies, and a fractured view of risk. Enterprise organizations can have hundreds of developers spread across multiple business units.

The pace of software development is astounding! The transition to agile, DevOps, cloud, and the supercharged use of AI is empowering distributed development teams to build software with greater speed and autonomy. In contrast to the remarkable strides in development methodologies, maintaining a robust security posture has become a formidable challenge. AppSec teams are still playing catchup, both outnumbered and out-resourced.

Snyk AppRisk provides AppSec teams with the comprehensive application security posture management (ASPM) workbench they need to govern and scale their security programs as well as minimize risk arising from applications.

An application’s attack surface is the sum of all the areas of an application which could be attacked by malicious attackers. This includes the application’s APIs, the underlying code, supporting infrastructure, and any other components which could be compromised. The goal for any organization is to reduce the attack surface area by discovering and minimizing potential vulnerabilities.

In code security, not everything is "shift left." Dynamic testing is as important to help developers build and ship secure applications on the right-hand side of the SDLC. Let's explore the benefits, pitfalls, and popular open-source DAST tools in this blog post from the Escape team.

In order for AppSec and ProdSec teams to stay on top of their growing attack surface, they must understand what parts of their attack surface are being continuously monitored and scanned, such as where, when, what, and how. This can include, but is not limited to.

Aikido has just gone through the process of becoming ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant. And one of the things we wish we’d had was some practical, no-nonsense advice on how to get started. Best practices, things to watch out for - basically tips from someone who’d already been through the ISO 27001 certification process. Read more about Aikido’s path to becoming ISO 27001:2022 compliant and the ISO 27001 requirements.
