Accelerating Software Development with Secure Open Source Software
In a world where time is money, companies are required to churn out software quickly or get left in the dust. To stay ahead of the market, developers are turning towards open source code, which - when secure - can be a valuable asset towards their efforts
As the Security Talent Shortage Intensifies, How Do You Upskill Your Development Team?
Developers want to create secure code, but lack training, so they must rely on AppSec experts to create secure applications. But the severe cybersecurity talent shortage leads to: As a result, developers are often conducting their own security research, which takes substantial time, increasing software delays and costs. With Veracode, you enable developers to write secure code and decrease flaws, so you can make your developers security self-sufficient.
What Are The Most Secure Programming Languages
Behind every developer is a beloved programming language. In heated debates over which language is the best, the security card will come into play in support of one language or discredit another. We decided to address this debate and put it to the test by researching WhiteSource's comprehensive database. We focused on open source security vulnerabilities in C, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, and C++, to find out which programming languages are most secure, which vulnerability types (CWEs) are most common in each language, and why.
The state of open source vulnerabilties 2020
We surveyed over 650 developers, and collected data from the NVD, security advisories, peer-reviewed vulnerability databases, issue trackers and more, to gather the latest industry insights in open source vulnerability management.
10 Questions for Assessing Data Security in the Enterprise
It's hard to imagine an organization today that does not rely on file servers, SharePoint or Office 365 for storing data, including valuable and sensitive information such as intellectual property and personal data. This makes these systems particularly attractive targets for all sort of attackers, from external hackers to disgruntled employees. To protect data from both external and internal threats, businesses must regularly conduct thorough data security assessments as part of their broader cyber security assessments.
Compliance Demystified
Compliance regulations are designed to provide a unified set of rules or guidelines to help IT organizations implement policies and measures that deliver the required levels of integrity, security, availability and accountability of data and operations. This white paper provides an overview of various types of IT compliance, explores their basic concepts and commonalities, and offers guidelines for implementation.
Ransomware observations
AT&T’s Digital Forensic Incident Response (DFIR) team has been observing cybercriminal organizations steadily increase their ransomware capabilities over the last few years. We have seen ransomware grow in sophistication and capability at a rapid pace. So rapidly in fact, that each investigation shows a new tactic or change in the binary program responsible for encrypting clients’ data.
Cybersecurity penetration testing explained
Cybersecurity penetration testing is a method of checking for security weaknesses in software and systems by simulating real-world cyber-attacks. Also known colloquially as 'pen tests,' penetration tests probe beyond the scope of automated vulnerability scans. Pen tests find gaps in protection that can arise when unique combinations of applications, systems, and security defenses work together in live environments.
Detectify Crowdsource - Not Your Average Bug Bounty Platform
How does Detectify Crowdsource get the most skilled ethical hackers of the world to come together and have as broad an impact as possible? The answer – a bug bounty program, but not in the traditional way. I am Carolin Solskär, Detectify Crowdsource Community Manager and I work closely with our ethical hackers to make sure we maintain an awesome experience for all our members with the shared goal to make the Internet more secure.
File Integrity Monitoring: Detecting suspicious file activity inside a container
In this blog, we will explore suspicious file activity inside a container and see how to effectively implement a file integrity monitoring (FIM) workflow. We’ll also cover how Sysdig Secure can help you implement FIM for both containers and Linux hosts.
