According to Forrester Research, applications are the top cause of external breaches because cybercriminals consider them to be one of the easiest entry points to attack organizations’ code bases. As supply chain attacks increase, it has become increasingly important for organizations to implement and maintain a continuous application security program and make it a priority.
First of a two-part series The online world is now packed with applications, so it’s unsurprising that they’re a top target for threat actors. However, traditional application security (AppSec) strategies often prove ineffective. To defend themselves against the rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations need to build a modern AppSec strategy that addresses these fast-changing conditions.
OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research laboratory that surprised the world with ChatGPT. It was founded in San Francisco in late 2015 by Sam Altman and Elon Musk, and many others. ChatGPT grabbed 1M people's attention in the first six days, and unbelievable AI & Human conversations screenshots are still getting shared. We couldn't resist more to see how OpenAI can help developers and application security teams by sharing remediation guidance. Many application security teams manage millions of security issues on Kondukto, which would eventually save them hundreds of hours.
App security is essential to help deliver the best user experience possible. Read on for more information on keeping your application secure.
In this, the second of three blog posts, we continue to examine the issues discussed in our recent webinar, “Software and Application Security Challenges and Opportunities in Banking.” In the webinar, Rhys Arkins, Mend’s VP of Product Management, was joined by James McLeod, Director of Community of the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS); Kate Stewart, VP of Dependable Embedded Systems at the Linux Foundation; and Amol Shukla, Executive Director of Engineering at Morgan Stanley, to
We love open-source software (OSS). Not only does it save time and effort, but it’s also incredibly rewarding to collaborate with other developers on major projects. Plus, it opens the door for innovation that otherwise wouldn’t be possible at this scale. However, with code comes responsibility, and so it’s imperative to understand the risk OSS libraries carry when we’re integrating them into projects.
The banking and fintech industries live and die on the reliability of the online services they offer. It’s vital that the sensitive data that the industry handles is robustly protected, and that the software and applications that it uses are secure. For effective software and application security, it’s critical that banking and fintech organizations rapidly detect, identify, and remediate software vulnerabilities.
Coming off a rough and wild end to 2021 with Log4Shell in all our minds, Snyk jumped out of the gates quickly and began providing the AppSec world with new capabilities that did not disappoint. In this blog, you can review most of the key investments we made in 2022 to improve performance, add new ecosystems, and support the enterprise.
Modern applications are sophisticated, with different third-party software and hardware components and complicated integrations compared to legacy applications. With these complications, there is an increase in exploitable vulnerabilities in the application layer. Thus, application security is one of the most critical aspects organizations should focus on to secure their applications from cyberattacks.
The ongoing rise in open source vulnerabilities and software supply chain attacks poses a significant risk, and it will only increase. According to the Mend Open Source Risk Report, modern security best practices such as software composition analysis (SCA) are vital for stemming the rising tide of open source vulnerabilities in applications and software.
