Build a software bill of materials (SBOM) for open source supply chain security

More than ever, developers are building web applications on the foundations of open source software libraries. However, while those libraries make up the software bill of materials (SBOM) components inventory, not all developers and business stakeholders understand the significant impact on open source supply chain security that stems from including 3rd party libraries.

A Simple Guide to Getting CVEs Published

We were once newcomers to the security research field and one of the most annoying problems we ran across was how to get a CVE published. After all, what good is it to find a juicy vulnerability if you can’t get the word out to others? So, as a resource to help our fellow researchers, we decided to put together a CVE publishing guide based on our experience, and honestly a lot of good old trial and error.

The hackers got into the Fazio systems and used it as a jumping pod to infiltrate and hack into Target’s infrastructure. Big companies like Audi and Volkswagen have also suffered such cyberattacks due to 3rd party negligence.

46 days vs. 16 minutes: Detecting emerging threats and reducing dwell time with machine learning

Machine learning (ML) detections are a powerful tool for detecting emerging threats when we don’t yet know what we’re looking for. The power of anomaly detection is the ability to detect and provide early warning on new threat activity for which rules, indicators, or signatures are not yet available.
