A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a key cyber defense item — it identifies what’s in your software, applications, and code base so that you can detect and mitigate risk more effectively. This is useful when it comes to application security because companies can only detect and fix vulnerabilities if they know what’s there in the first place. SBOMs give you that visibility. Consequently, SBOMs are now a “must-have” tool for most companies.
On the 31st of May 2023 a public warning was issued by MOVEit, regarding a critical SQL injection vulnerability found in in their systems. This vulnerability allowed malicious actors to gain access to the database. The flaw, known as CVE-2023-34362, was identified on the 2nd of June, but it had already been exploited four days before the alert. By the end of May, approximately 2,500 instances of MOVEit file transfers were discovered to be exposed online, primarily in the United States.
This week in London, SecurityScorecard hosted a roundtable discussion on cyber risk in the insurance supply chain. Keynote speaker Santosh Pandit, head of Cybersecurity at the Bank of England, shared his insights with 20 London-based insurers on managing cyber risk in the financial sector and the latest regulatory initiatives that may impact the insurance industry.
Digital technology is becoming an increasingly essential part of nearly every industry, and supply chains are no exception. In recent years, supply chains have become more dependent on digital solutions, from manufacturing, packing, and shipping processes, to storing records in the cloud. While digital technology increases speed, efficiency, and interconnectivity across industries, this increased complexity can also lead to higher gaps in cybersecurity.
While some of the obvious misuse of ChatGPT in the world of cyber security was not unexpected – asking the artificial intelligence to write harder-to-detect malware and easier-to-convince phishing emails – a new threat has emerged that can leverage the very nature of the large language model. Ultimately, ChatGPT is a learning machine, and bases its answers on information it sources from the Internet.
Today, we’re excited to launch a few new features as part of our ongoing efforts in our Software Supply Chain Security solution. These developer-first tools help you gain a better understanding of your app’s supply chain, identify potential risks, and take the necessary steps to get ahead of them.
