AppSec shouldn’t compromise velocity. Learn how Intelligent Orchestration optimizes AppSec testing while removing complexity from DevOps toolchains. To stay competitive, organizations are embracing digital transformation and innovating at record speed. In order to achieve this, they’re embracing agility through processes such as DevOps, site reliability engineering, GitOps, and more.

Cyber security experts weigh in on what we’ve learned about President Biden’s cyber security strategy in his first 100 days in office. President Joe Biden declared in mid-December, more than a month before he took office, that cyber security would be a “top priority” of his administration. It should be. The digital world, as we are all now reminded daily, has a direct impact on the real world, for better and worse.

Understand how the Synopsys partner ecosystem can help your organization address your software quality and application security challenges. To build secure, high-quality software in today’s challenging environment, organizations need world-class partnerships backed by industry-leading software quality and application security products and services.

Automation, when done properly, can improve the productivity, quality, safety and security in your software development. Automation isn’t just a “nice-to-have” element of modern business. It’s a “must-have.” Companies simply can’t compete on multiple levels—quality, speed to market, safety, and security—if they rely on manual tools and processes.

5G is faster than its predecessor but that doesn’t change the approach to software security for your applications. Some wild claims have been made about 5G networking. I’ve heard mention of self-healing factories and smart highway systems. While such things might be possible, there’s nothing magical about 5G. In essence, it’s just faster wireless networking than we’ve had before. That’s nice, but hardly revolutionary.

Are today’s mobile apps secure or do they offer opportunities for attackers? Learn about the state of mobile application security in our new report. Synopsys recently released a report, “Peril in a Pandemic: The State of Mobile Application Security,” produced by its Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC), examining the state of mobile application security during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of the third-party components we find in audits have been pulled in their entirety from public software repositories (with GitHub being the most popular these days). But with some frequency we also come across snippets—lines of code that have been copied and pasted into source code. They might be a piece of a GitHub project, but they may also have been taken from a blog site like Stack Overflow or CodeGuru.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a reality. Gartner forecasts 25 billion IoT devices by 2021, and other industry sources and analysts predict even larger numbers. Although projections of unprecedented growth are ubiquitous among industry pundits, the efforts to secure this tsunami of connected devices are in their infancy. The IoT is still relatively new, so it lacks regulations that mandate security.

Dr. Neil Daswani, codirector of the Stanford Advanced Security Certification Program, is coauthor with Moudy Elbayadi of “Big Breaches: Cybersecurity Lessons for Everyone,” released last month by APress. He is also president of Daswani Enterprises, his security consulting and training firm.
