Implementation of a DevSecOps approach is the most impactful key factor in the total cost of a data breach, according to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023. DevSecOps, security practices integrated in DevOps, represents an advanced practice where the choice of tools is crucial for maximum risk reduction.

If you're in a business that handles credit cards, you already know how crucial it is to keep that data secure. PCI DSS is a set of compliance requirements that ensure all companies handling cardholder data keep it secure. And that it's not just a good idea—it's a must. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, it's challenging to keep pace with complex security and compliance landscapes.

Years of accumulated security debt due to unaddressed software vulnerabilities and inadequate security configurations plague the applications that support our government functions. The age and size of applications play a significant role in the accumulation of security debt. The State of Software Security 2024 report provides a detailed analysis of how these factors correlate with security vulnerabilities, particularly in older and larger applications.

RSA Conference 2024 brought together industry experts, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss the latest trends and challenges in cybersecurity. We showcased our commitment to CISA's Secure by Design, explored the potential of AI in risk management, and emphasized the significance of global collaboration. Here are some highlights from our time at RSA Conference, providing insights into the discussions and announcements that shape the future of cybersecurity.

In the swiftly evolving landscape of AI-driven software development, DevSecOps helps strengthen application security and quality. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a key tool that helps scale your DevSecOps program by facilitating continuous and accurate security tests on running applications. DAST simulates real-world attacks, enabling you to identify security weaknesses and evaluate your application's defenses in response to actual attacks.
