How Frequently Should We Run a Vulnerability Scan?

All it takes is a single unpatched vulnerability to breach security and gain access to a company’s mission-critical assets. Effective vulnerability management is essential for strong cybersecurity. Vulnerability scans play a key role in this process, offering a clear view of the entire IT infrastructure and identifying existing vulnerabilities. How many times should we run scans? Are we scanning often enough? These are the questions we often get.

Curated OSS Catalogs: Enhancing Security and Efficiency in Software Development

Organizations are increasingly relying on open source software (OSS) to accelerate development and innovation. However, with great power comes great responsibility – and in this case, significant security risks. Enter the curated OSS catalog, a solution that ensures secure-by-default OSS usage. Let’s explore what a curated OSS catalog are and who stands to benefit from them.

Predictive Vulnerability Management: Operationalizing EPSS with Business Context

Join us for an in-depth webinar on the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), a powerful tool for predicting the exploitability of vulnerabilities. This discussion features experts Jay Jacobs from Cyentia and Stephen Schafferr from Peloton Interactive. They explore the intricacies of EPSS, its application, and the benefits of using EPSS over traditional methods like CVSS for better vulnerability management. Key topics include operationalizing EPSS, leveraging threat intelligence, and creating effective prioritization strategies. .

Building a Remediation Plan? How to Overcome the Top 5 Challenges

Building an effective remediation plan is crucial for enhancing security posture, ensuring compliance and minimizing operational risks. Modern attack surfaces with their ever-growing volume of vulnerabilities have only compounded pressures on remediation planning. Yet vulnerability and exposure management teams frequently encounter obstacles that slow down remediation planning, leading to increased risk exposure and potential regulatory penalties.

Beyond Patches and CVEs: The New Dynamics of Enterprise Technology and Vulnerability Management

The enterprise technology landscape has changed significantly, driven by the rapid adoption of cloud technologies, evolving IT infrastructures, and evolving exploitation activities. This transformation requires that organizations take an updated approach to vulnerability management—one that goes beyond the traditional focus on patch management to encompass a broader spectrum of risks.

The persistent threat: Why major vulnerabilities like Log4Shell and Spring4Shell remain significant

As developers, we're constantly juggling features, fixes, and deadlines. Yet, a lurking issue has been surprisingly overlooked: the continued use of vulnerable Log4j and Spring Framework versions in many projects. Despite the high-profile exposure of Log4Shell and Spring4Shell vulnerabilities, a shocking number of applications are still running on these ticking time bombs. This isn't just a minor oversight — it's a major risk.

Agent hijacking: The true impact of prompt injection attacks

Over the last 18 months, you’ve probably heard about Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT and Google’s Gemini. Whether you’re using them as a personal research assistant, an editor, or a data analyst, these tools represent a new frontier of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and arguably will have the most significant impact of any technology in this decade.
