We’re happy to announce the open beta of C/C++ security scanning in Snyk Open Source, enabling development and security teams to find and fix known security vulnerabilities in their C/C++ open source code and libraries! Used across various industry verticals and prominent within the gaming, hardware/IoT, and communications industries, C/C++ continues to have a major impact on software development and the technology space as a whole.

According to the recent Verizon Data Breach Investigations report, 45% of breaches featured hacking in 2020.

Cyber security is a serious concern for businesses in the digital age. It is not uncommon these days to see businesses spending big amounts on security solutions that are difficult to maintain and even more expensive to upgrade.

This blog post will discuss the definition of threat intelligence and different stages of the threat intelligence cycle to help you better understand what happens behind the scenes.

Through the active Dark Web research that Trustwave SpiderLabs conducts for its clients, we have observed new communications on various Dark Web forums between Eastern-European cybercriminals. Based on the conversations that we’ve collected, a segment of cybercriminals is now worried that the Russian authorities may be actively hunting them down.

Cloud accounts continue to be a valuable target for cybercriminals: not only do the resources of a compromised IaaS environment grant an immediate profit for the attackers, but the same infrastructure also provides a trusted environment to launch attacks against other targets.
