Secure Python code faster with Code Sight: Real-time issue detection in Visual Studio | Black Duck

Join David Bohannan, an R&D engineer at Black Duck, as he demonstrates using Black Duck's IDE plug-in, Code Sight to run static analysis on Python code within Visual Studio. Watch as Code Sight instantly detects vulnerabilities like OS command injection and cross-site request forgery while code is being written, helping developers fix issues early in the software lifecycle. David will demonstrate how leveraging Coverity's Rapid Scanning engine through Code Sight can allow developers to tackle issues such as secret scanning and ensure hardcoded secrets are flagged before they become risks to applications further downstream.

Understanding CVE-2024-50340 - Remote Access to Symfony Profiler

According to security researcher nol_tech CVE-2024–50340 is a critical vulnerability (CVSS: 7.3) affecting Symfony applications when the PHP directive register_argc_argv is enabled. By appending ?+--env=dev to a URL, attackers can force the application into the dev environment, granting remote access to the Symfony profiler. This exposure can lead to the leaking of sensitive information and potentially executing arbitrary code.

The Difference Between Cybersecurity AI and Machine Learning

In what feels like 10 minutes, cybersecurity AI and machine learning (ML) have gone from a concept pioneered by a handful of companies, including SenseOn, to a technology that is seemingly everywhere. In a recent SenseOn survey, over 80% of IT teams told us they think that tools that use AI would be the most impactful investment their security operations centre (SOC) could make.

Threat intelligence feeds: essential arsenal in cybersecurity

Cyber threats are relentless, sophisticated, and growing. To stay ahead, you can no longer treat threat intelligence as an optional tool—it’s the backbone of a proactive, defense-ready strategy. Threat intelligence feeds bring crucial insights to security teams, from high-level trends to detailed indicators of compromise (IoCs). But no single feed can capture every potential threat. Threat landscapes evolve rapidly and adversaries employ diverse techniques and targets.

ICS Security Is a Team Sport

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.
