As organizations continue to embrace digital transformation, their infrastructure increasingly spans cloud environments, third-party integrations, and remote work setups. This shift enhances efficiency and productivity—but also broadens the digital attack surface, creating new points of exposure to the public internet.

API calls are the backbone of modern software, enabling applications to communicate and share data seamlessly. However, with this integration comes the challenge of understanding and managing the identities used in API calls. These identities, often tied to authentication and authorization mechanisms, are crucial for determining what data is accessed and exchanged.

In a digital world that’s evolving faster than ever, industry landscapes are shifting, and customer needs are becoming more complex. At Veracode, we recognize these fundamental changes in the application security space. That’s why Veracode strategically acquired Longbow Security, now rebranded as Veracode Risk Manager.

Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and State Risk and Authorization Management Program (StateRAMP) are pivotal frameworks for securing cloud services used by federal and state governments, respectively. These programs mandate stringent security protocols, emphasizing the need for organizations to manage and disclose third-party involvement in delivering software services to the government.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, managing cyber risk has become essential for sustaining corporate growth and resilience. Cyber risk management requires balancing corporate growth against the evolving tactics of threat actors and governmental regulations – a daunting task that requires continuous measurement and strategic reflection.

As we discussed in the first article in this series, there are many Internet-exposed control systems, but they are very different from traditional IT systems and require a different security approach. With these systems being so critical and controlling processes that can potentially lead to loss of life if they fail, what is being done to tackle this issue? In this article I’ll dive into this and more, looking at.

A silent danger is sweeping through the world’s critical infrastructure. The SecurityScorecard STRIKE Team has uncovered a resurgence of Volt Typhoon—a state-sponsored cyber-espionage group from the Asia-Pacific region, known for its precision and persistence. This is no ordinary attack. Volt Typhoon exploits unprotected, outdated edge devices within targeted critical infrastructure.

‍The evolution of the cyber risk management landscape is constant, and with each passing year, market players find themselves in the position of having to readjust their strategies, whether in brand positioning, cybersecurity, or beyond, to account for these consequent changes. While some of the shifts are welcome, others are less so. Nevertheless, all require careful foresight.
