As web applications become more complex and interconnected, the security of these applications becomes increasingly important. In this article, we will discuss web application security, why it is crucial, and how you can test your web applications for security vulnerabilities. By taking measures to secure your website, you reduce the risk of cyberattacks, protect your data from unauthorized access, and save you and your business time and money.

Another day, another legitimate cloud service exploited for a cyber espionage campaign… Researchers at ESET recently discovered Dolphin, a previously unreported backdoor used by the North-Korean threat actor APT37 (AKA ScarCruft and Reaper) against selected targets. The backdoor, deployed after the initial compromise using less sophisticated malware, was observed for the first time in early 2021, during a watering-hole attack on a South Korean online newspaper.

Just like shopping on Black Friday, AWS re:Invent has become a post-Thanksgiving tradition for some of us at Datadog. We were excited to join tens of thousands of fellow AWS users and partners for this annual gathering that features new product announcements, technical sessions, networking, and fun. This year, we saw three themes emerge from the conference announcements and sessions.

This article focuses on a critical missing component of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): visibility into Kubernetes. Scroll down to read all you need to know about it.

The Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) recently discovered threat actors leveraging an open source tool called PRoot to expand the scope of their operations to multiple Linux distributions and simplify their necessary efforts. Typically, the scope of an attack is limited by the varying configurations of each Linux distribution. Enter PRoot, an open source tool that provides an attacker with a consistent operational environment across different Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and Alpine.

SaaS (Software as a Service) companies cannot function without certain consumer data. For starters, you’ll need the customers’ names and email addresses for your marketing and sales operations. And as leads turn into customers, you may also need their payment details. Now, as your company collects more consumer data, it also becomes a target for data breaches. Remember the March 2022 HubSpot security incident?

‍ AEC project teams are using point cloud data to enhance their BIM projects. By importing point cloud data into their CAD software, they can get a more accurate representation of the buildings and landscapes they are working on. This can help with design, construction, and even marketing efforts.

Announced today at AWS re:Invent, Amazon CodeCatalyst brings together everything software development teams need to plan, code, build, test and deploy applications on AWS into a streamlined, integrated experience.

With the continual increase of attacks, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations, today’s security organizations face an uphill battle in securing their cloud environments. These risks often materialize into unaddressed alerts, incidents, and findings in their security products. However, part of the issue is that many security teams are often stretched too thin and overburdened by alert fatigue.
