Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

The COVID-19 pandemic fast-tracked the adoption of hybrid workforce in organizations, bringing with it a slew of problems for IT teams. Organizations had to enable a majority of their employees to work remotely, without affecting their productivity and while ensuring the security of the corporate resources. ManageEngine recently conducted a survey of IT professionals to understand the effects of remote work on cloud adoption.

Cloud computing has revolutionized the business and technological landscape of the last decade. More organizations are turning to cloud services to better manage massive volumes of both structured and unstructured data on a daily basis. As organizations move more and more information and applications to the cloud, there are growing concerns for data security and regulatory compliance.

In 2019, Snyk released its first Python cheat sheet. Since then, many aspects of Python security have changed. Using our learnings as a developer security company — as well as Python-specific best practices — we compiled this updated cheat sheet to make sure you keep your Python code secure. And before going any further, I need to give special thanks to Chibo and Daniel for their help with this cheat sheet!

It’s been a while since we ran our challenge, How strong should your Master Password be?, in which we gave out prizes to the first people who could figure out the passwords in carefully constructed challenges.

It’s no secret that cyber attacks are on the rise. Not only are they becoming more frequent, but the malicious actors who mount these attacks are constantly improving their skills and evolving the tools in their arsenals. Protecting your organization is challenging at best; especially since we measure the return on investment for cybersecurity as ‘preventing losses’ instead of ‘increasing revenue.’

When your organization is inevitably hit by a cyberattack, you want your security operations engineers to move lightning fast to identify the scope, duration, and impact of the attack, contain the disruption and prevent any costly or lasting damage. To do that, they need access to actionable information about everything that’s in your network — where devices are located, how they interact, and all the relevant details about their configuration and state.
