As organizations move to the cloud, achieving FedRAMP compliance becomes a critical requirement for security and risk management. The framework mandates rigorous security controls across risk assessment, incident response, system integrity, audit logging, and continuous monitoring. AppTrana WAAP (Web Application and API Protection) helps organizations address these controls by offering comprehensive security measures, including vulnerability scanning, continuous monitoring, and attack prevention.

Cybercriminals often exploit outdated vulnerabilities – quite literally. While organizations focus on addressing the latest zero-day threats, attackers continue to profit by targeting weaknesses that should have been resolved long ago. Some of these Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVEs) date back nearly a decade, yet they remain heavily exploited. This trend proves that old flaws never truly disappear.

Starting this year, financial institutions (FIs) and crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) in the EU are now required to ensure compliance with complex frameworks that protect digital infrastructure and financial services.

It’s no secret that managing vendor risk is one of the most challenging aspects of any security program—our most recent State of Trust report found that one in two businesses have terminated a vendor relationship due to security concerns. The rapid proliferation of SaaS tools and AI technologies only ups the ante by increasing the complexity of vendor monitoring and oversight. ‍

As cybersecurity threats evolve and regulatory requirements tighten, organizations worldwide are turning to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) frameworks to strengthen their security and risk management strategies.

Since CrowdStrike’s acquisition of Bionic, we have been embedding application security posture management (ASPM) capabilities into CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, creating a unified solution that bridges the gap between proactive security for cloud security teams and cloud runtime protection for security operations. We are excited to share new ASPM updates in Falcon Cloud Security, built to help teams detect and respond faster to today’s cloud-focused adversaries.

Without the widespread developer adoption of security tools, it's extremely difficult to build secure applications in the cloud. Developers aren’t security experts, which is why development teams will leverage application security tools – like SAST, SCA, IaC Scanning, secrets detection, and other technologies – to scan their code and surface vulnerabilities. These tools are often resisted by developers.

Organizations today collect and generate enormous volumes of sensitive data. Much of it is stored in SQL Server databases, making SQL Server security management crucial for protecting critical applications and services. Implementing strong Microsoft SQL Server security measures helps organizations defend against cyber threats and comply with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

Organizations must always be aware of the constantly changing compliance landscape to protect their sensitive assets and avoid paying millions in fines. The rapid development of cyber threats fueled by the global pandemic and cyberwarfare has forced the European Union (EU) to update its NIS Directive. We understand the pain of having to read hundreds of requirements and legislation documents, so we’ve done it for you.

Today, we’re excited to announce Jit’s integration with Orca Security! This partnership enables security teams to correlate cloud security risks with application security risks to understand how the security of one resource impacts another. Security teams today struggle with siloed tools and security insights, as well as inconsistent prioritization methods across tooling.
