Kondukto and GitGuardian have teamed up to provide an integration that brings together their knowledge in AppSec orchestration and automated secrets detection.

Everybody’s doing it: shifting applications to the cloud. More flexibility. More storage. More scalability. But how does this affect application security? What challenges does it present?

At Detectify, we proudly maintain an AppSec perspective when it comes to how we handle security. But what does this mean exactly? In short, we think a lot about how both AppSec teams and developers will experience our platform and products. We know that today’s developers are feeling the pressure to get new code out to production to meet the demands of the business. These business demands have increased the need for AppSec tooling to leverage automation whenever possible.

Integrating LimaCharlie with Datadog increases visibility for LimaCharlie users. In this article, we will look at two ways you can configure the integration to help security teams streamline workflows.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Marina Novikova, partner solutions architect from AWS in a webinar to discuss the key principles for building modern application security programs. We explored the big issues facing AppSec today, and why many companies are taking a new approach. As the world becomes increasingly application-driven, security can no longer be simply a box-ticking exercise for compliance purposes. It must do much more to ensure that software is delivered safely.

Path traversal is a type of security vulnerability that can occur when a web application or service allows an attacker to access server files or directories that are outside the intended directory structure. This can lead to the unauthorized reading or modification of sensitive data.

Every federal administration for the past 20 years has issued a cybersecurity strategy, so in one sense the National Cybersecurity Strategy issued by the Biden administration on March 2, 2023 is not unexpected. The big difference, however, lies in the recommendations: For the first time, the government is pressing for regulatory mandates on key industry sectors that control wide swathes of critical infrastructure nationwide.

Recent high-profile software supply chain breaches have sharpened the focus on application security. But as cybersecurity professionals know all too well, concern doesn’t always equate to action. In theory, the rise of DevSecOps best practices that shift responsibility for application security further left should reduce the number of vulnerabilities that now routinely make it into production applications. However, real life is a little messier.
