Our Journey to Today

Today we came a step closer towards our ultimate vision – to empower every one of the world’s 27 million developers to develop fast while staying secure. On behalf of the entire extended Snyk family, every current and former employee, partner and customer, I’m humbled to announce that today marks another important milestone in the Snyk journey: the closing of our Series E funding round.

Detecting and mitigating Apache Unomi's CVE-2020-13942 - Remote Code Execution (RCE)

CVE-2020-13942 is a critical vulnerability that affects the Apache open source application Unomi, and allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. In the versions prior to 1.5.1, Apache Unomi allowed remote attackers to send malicious requests with MVEL and OGNL expressions that could contain arbitrary code, resulting in Remote Code Execution (RCE) with the privileges of the Unomi application.

Sumo Logic to accelerate modernization of security operations with proposed acquisition of DFLabs

At Sumo Logic, our belief is that security operations is no longer a human scale problem. We need tools and technologies to aid our defenders and responders to be able to process, investigate and respond at machine speed. Our vision for modernizing security operations to deal with threats at machine scale has always encompassed more than just SIEM.

Actions Not Words, Demos Not Slides

In network operations, it’s never the same day twice. Most network engineers love this aspect, but it has a dark side. The best plans often fall to the wayside—in an instant work stops and firefighting begins. In the last year, I’ve been part of a whole-day colo move, diagnosed an outage in the middle of the night, and resolved a slow performance issue. I know what the networking operations experience is like, and I know how much better it can be.

Combating Risk Negligence Using Cybersecurity Culture

With a growing number of threat sources and successful cybersecurity attacks, organizations find themselves in a tricky spot if they wish to survive cyberspace. Oftentimes, the adversaries are not the challenge; the obstacle is the organization’s culture. Just like culture influences who we are as a people, culture influences the cybersecurity tone of an organization. Every organization has its own unique fit and feel.

Best Active Directory Management Tools

IT teams rely on Active Directory (AD) to keep networks secure and maintain user accounts — but they often need to adhere to strict budget limitations when it comes to selecting software to help. That’s why we’ve put together this list of the top free Active Directory management tools. Our picks focus on AD tools that will help you complete routine AD management tasks much faster so your team has time to focus on other priorities.

Splunk for OT Security V2: SOAR and More

In the last 90 days, the news of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure has been stunning. From the unprecedented breach represented by Sunburst to the more recent bone-chilling attack at the Oldsmar water facility, the urgency to secure critical infrastructure in transportation, utilities, energy, water, critical manufacturing, telecommunications, healthcare, government facilities and the defense sector has never been higher.

Human Resource and Security Teams Should Work Jointly to Reduce the Risk of Cyberattacks

COVID-19 has not only changed the way we live but also forced many changes to standard business processes. This article will explore some challenges around human resource (HR) hiring, offboarding and contracting activities. As companies in multiple jurisdictions continue to look for advice from state and federal authorities on COVID-19 safe work plans, this article offers some security considerations from a physical security as well as cyber security perspective.

VPN and Firewall Log Management

The hybrid workforce is here to stay. With that in mind, you should start putting more robust cybersecurity controls in place to mitigate risk. Virtual private networks (VPNs) help secure data, but they are also challenging to bring into your log monitoring and management strategy. VPN and firewall log management gives real-time visibility into security risks. Many VPN and firewall log monitoring problems are similar to log management in general.

Why cloud native apps need cloud native security

A cloud native approach to infrastructure and application development enables simplification and speed. Many of the traditional tasks involved in managing and deploying server architecture are removed, and high levels of automation deployed, making use of software-driven infrastructure models. Applications can be deployed at scale, be resilient and secure, while also allowing continuous integration technologies to accelerate development and deployment. Cloud approaches are set to dominate the future, most authorities agree: according to Deloitte, for example, global cloud spending will grow seven times faster than overall IT spending until at least 2025.
