In the race for technological innovation, companies often sprint toward product launches but find themselves in a marathon when fixing vulnerabilities. This dichotomy poses a significant challenge, especially with the ever-increasing security loopholes. CISA recommends addressing critical issues in less than 15 days, but it may be wishful thinking. IT teams are inundated with an ever-increasing volume of security alerts, making it challenging to prioritize and address each one effectively.

Application development is a multistage process. The App goes through various stages, each with its own area of focus. However, application security, a.k.a. AppSec, is constant throughout all the stages. For example, when a developer codes, it’s expected that the code will be secure. Similarly, the artifacts that are worked upon or generated as an end output of the respective stages are all required to be secure.

A command injection vulnerability, being tracked as CVE-2024-3400, was recently discovered in the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 10 (Critical) and is actively being exploited in the wild. It impacts versions PAN-OS 120.2, PAN-OS 11.0 and PAN-OS 11.1. If exploited on vulnerable PAN-OS versions and distinct feature configurations, an unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall.

DeepCode AI Fix is an AI-powered feature that provides one-click, security-checked fixes within Snyk Code, a developer-focused, real-time SAST tool. Amongst the first semi-automated, in-IDE security fix features on the market, DeepCode AI Fix’s public beta was announced as part of Snyk Launch in April 2023. It delivered fixes to security issues detected by Snyk Code in real-time, in-line, and within the IDE.

Philadelphia, PA, 22nd April – Outpost24, a leading provider of cyber threat exposure management solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of manual asset rescans to its External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform.

31% of executives cite improper risk identification as their organizations’ top cybersecurity challenge. Reacting only to attacks leads to an average 118-day breach detection time, which can significantly impact business. Staying informed about cybersecurity risks is crucial. OWASP offers a list of common threats for testers, but some find them insufficient due to its crowdsourced nature.
