AI Remediation: A massive time-saver

One of the biggest challenges that application security engineers are facing is the large amount of false positives from security scanners. False positives are results that indicate a vulnerability where there is none, or where the risk is negligible. Triaging these false positives wastes a lot of time.

Integrations to elevate your DevSecOps program

In this blog series, we’ve covered how AppSec integrations can enable a more secure SDLC, avoiding pitfalls when integrating AppSec for DevOps, and how to use integrations to automate security risk information collection and delivery. So let’s wrap up this series by taking a look at how an Integrated DevSecOps program can help future-proof your AppSec program.

Holistic AppSec and Software Supply Chain Security

AppSec and software supply chain security require more than a loose collection of tools and a vulnerability remediation process. A holistic approach covers risk assessment, a secure software development life cycle, software composition analysis (SCA), SBOMs, static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST), workflow automation, automated remediation, runtime protections, compliance reporting and more. Successful implementation of this holistic approach enables companies to shrink their overall attack surface and reduce technical and security debt.

Container Images - Code Source

Mend for GitHub.com Code Source provides a streamlined and highly effective approach to tracing vulnerabilities back to their source code in repositories. Mend’s proprietary labeling achieves this by adding the source repository URL and the Dockerfile path to your Dockerfile using OCI annotations, saving you time in researching risks detected on your built container images.

Operationalizing DevSecOps Roundtable

DevSecOps best practices are increasingly being adopted to better secure software supply chains. The challenge, though, is finding ways to operationalize these processes so they’re seamless and development and deployment don’t slow down. Join Shiri Arad Ivtsan, Senior Director of Product Management – Mend.io, in this editorial roundtable as these experts explore the challenges DevOps teams and developers face in operationalizing security into their workflows and processes, what’s taking so long to do so and how AI and automation can help.

Malicious Packages Special Report - Attacks Move Beyond Vulnerabilities

Threat actors are after our sensitive data. In 2023, the number of malicious packages published to Node Package Manager (npm) and RubyGems ballooned 315% compared to 2021, and 85% of malicious packages discovered in existing applications were capable of exfiltration – meaning they could cause an unauthorized transmission of information. Software packages containing malicious code are a growing threat, and they may have unknowingly infiltrated your applications.

AWS and Mend.io Webinar: Five Principles of Modern Application Security Programs

Organizations of all kinds are experiencing increasing volumes, frequency, and severity of cyberattacks. 71% of IT and security leaders say that their portfolio of applications has become more vulnerable in the last year alone, and cybercrime is expected to cost companies worldwide around $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. To fight this trend, organizations need a resilient AppSec strategy that can reinforce trust, reliability, and security when faced with adverse conditions.

How Supply Chain Attacks Work - And What You Can Do to Stop Them

Supply chain attacks made headlines in 2022, sending shockwaves through the industry as security and business leaders scrambled to reexamine the security of their own supply chains. In this webinar, experts talk through the stages of a supply chain attack and the different types of attacks to look for. You will also learn what tools and strategies you can start using immediately to assess your own supply chain security and put defenses in place to keep your supply chain protected.

The CISO's Guide to AppSec Innovation

Threat actors operate by an ironclad rule: If it’s important to businesses, it’s important to them. And they certainly understand the crucial business role of applications. Applications are now the number one attack vector, while software supply chain attacks increased 650 percent in a year. Clearly, if you don’t already have a modern application security program that can support today’s digital world, you need to build one.

Securing the Software Supply Chain: Key Findings From the Mend Open Source Risk Report

Open source vulnerabilities are in permanent growth mode. A significant quarterly increase in the number of malicious packages published in registries such as npm and rubygems have shown the increasing need to protect against this trending attack. At the same time, companies struggle to close the remediation gap on known vulnerable open source code. It’s all in The Mend Open Source Risk Report, which details these and other significant risks posed by the ongoing rise in open source vulnerabilities and software supply chain attacks.
