Embracing the AI-Integrated Software Revolution

The shift to AI-integrated software development isn’t just a trend; it's a fundamental change that’s reshaping industries and redefining the future of technology. This shift brings both revolutionary potential and formidable cyber challenges. Cyber challenges that King Charles III even addressed in the proposals of his King’s Speech on July 17. As we plunge into the AI era, we must understand how these changes are unfolding and what they signify for technological advancement.

The Importance of OSINT in Application Security

In our interconnected online world, the security of applications and the data they process is essential. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) plays a critical role in enhancing application security by offering valuable insights into potential threats, vulnerabilities, and the overall security posture of an organization.

Overcoming the Pitfalls of Inadequate Security Measures in the SDLC

Lax security measures in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) can lead to severe financial repercussions for organizations. The Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report highlights this growing risk, stating, "Our ways-in analysis witnessed a substantial growth of attacks involving the exploitation of vulnerabilities as the critical path to initiate a breach when compared to previous years.

Quantifying the Probability of Flaws in Open Source

Jay Jacobs and I recently delivered an RSA presentation called Quantifying the Probability of Flaws in Open Source. Since many people didn’t get a chance to see it, I thought I’d summarize some of the findings here for posterity. The question we investigated was simple, at least conceptually: what are the red flags of an open-source repository? Are there characteristics of a given open source library that would reliably indicate it was safer than others?

The Veracode CLI: End to End Testing with Static, Container, and Dynamic Scanning

In this blog, we’re going to examine the Veracode CLI tool. Available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, the imaginatively named binary veracode can perform a variety of functions across the SDLC. Installing the tool is easy, just follow the steps in the documentation.

Introducing Postman Collection Support for API Security Testing

In today's digital landscape, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) play an important role in driving innovation. They allow teams to integrate new applications with existing systems, reuse code and deliver software more efficiently. But, APIs are also prime targets for hackers due to their public availability and the large amounts of web data they transmit. API vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and various other forms of attacks.

Strategic Risk Management for CISOs: A Holistic and Consolidated Approach

As Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), it's crucial to manage risks in a holistic and consolidated manner as the landscape of threats, particularly those targeting applications, continues to evolve and expand. With the increasing reliance on digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud-based services, the attack surface for potential cyber threats is growing and changing.

Available Now: Veracode Scan for JetBrains IDEs

Veracode Scan for VS Code was one of the big hits on the expo floor at the RSA Security conference in May this year. People liked the integration of Veracode Static, Veracode SCA, and Veracode Fix into a single extension, giving developers the tools to scan their code and resolve problems with AI assistance while they are actively developing code.
