Securing access to business resources has always been of high priority for admins and IT teams. In the wake of the pandemic, workforces are more distributed than ever before, and 76 percent of global office workers state that they would like to work from home even when the pandemic is over.
With many countries now participating in the Paris Agreement to address climate change, coupled with the rising popularity of electric vehicles, it is expected that 125 million electric cars will be on the road worldwide by 2030. But these cars, although beneficial to the environment, come with cybersecurity risks. According to experts, security concerns should be addressed before a massive rollout of electric vehicles take place.
The simple answer is to use a compiled code tool and implement as many security features as possible, but sometimes time can be a factor and other matters take precedence so less time goes into security. If your code is valuable then you really should spend time adding more layers of code protection (obfuscation, script licensing, encryption) and there is one feature in particular which sets ionCube apart from other tools, offers advanced protection for your PHP code and is fairly quick to setup.
In our first blog in this series, Nature vs. Nurture Tip 1: Using SAST With DAST, we discussed how this year’s State of Software Security (SOSS) report looked at how both “nature” and “nurture” contribute to the time it takes to close out a security flaw. We found that the “nature” of applications – like size or age – can have a negative effect on how long it takes to remediate a security flaw.
Organizations face an ever-evolving threat landscape. With this in mind, it is imperative that organizations keep an up-to-date vulnerability management policy for remediating and controlling security vulnerabilities that may lead to a breach. A good vulnerability management policy should contain the following.
Earlier this year, the news broke of a new method that attackers were using to infiltrate Google Drive.
