Intelligent Orchestration enables security and development teams to implement coordinated DevSecOps workflows with minimal friction. Application security (AppSec) adds an extra layer to software development. The more the process is automated and the more tools are integrated into the continuous delivery/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, the more challenges organizations face in securing software security from end to end (false positives, noise, etc.).

The software security landscape has drastically evolved over the past few years. Think back to the start of COVID-19. The sudden shift to virtual operations expediated digital transformations. Government agencies now have to release new digital products and services in tighter timeframes, causing public sector leadership to choose between speed of deployments or verifiably secure code. The data says it all...

JavaScript is a programming language based on prototypes instead of classes. When a new object is created, the features of the prototype object are inherited – this includes arrays, functions, and even class definitions. The new object can also act as a template for other inheriting objects, transferring its properties, and creating the prototype chain.

The global pandemic and more recent geo-political events have brought an even greater focus on the threat of cyber attacks on individuals and businesses. Even as global lockdowns and restrictions on movement have eased, many organizations have not adapted to remote or hybrid styles of work. The reality that most of the workforce now operates outside a perimeter that can be controlled creates greater opportunity for scammers, hackers and the potential for cyber attacks than ever before.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is one of the principal techniques for assessing the source code of applications to detect possible vulnerabilities. SAST enhances application security during the early stages of the development life cycle and plays an important role in shifting security left. However, there are quite a few myths that are often associated with implementing SAST security tools. Let’s run through the big three.

What does it mean to build a holistic AppSec program? Learn what’s involved in a holistic approach and how to get started. Digital technology is the centerpiece of modern life today. All around us, technology is transforming business operations from end-to-end, from digital-first businesses to those simply updating existing processes. According to Gartner, 65% of executives report that they accelerated the pace of their digital business initiatives in 2021.

It is not hard to set application security goals. Security teams want to reduce risk. Developers want to quickly meet the requirements of security policy and hit deadlines. Executives want growth within their risk tolerance. What is hard is defining an appropriate level of risk and measuring whether your AppSec program is efficient, effective, and returning expected outcomes based on your investments.
