External penetration testing is a critical cybersecurity practice that helps organisations defend their internet-facing assets. By simulating the actions of a real-world attacker, external penetration tests reveal vulnerabilities in your web applications, networks, and other externally accessible systems.

Security teams require complete visibility into their hosts, containers, and functions in order to detect, prioritize, and remediate their most pressing security risks. The Datadog Agent helps you achieve this visibility by collecting deep insights in your environment through logs, distributed traces, infrastructure metrics, and other key telemetry.

Email is a well-known and widely used attack vector for malware distribution, phishing, and many other types of threats. For this reason, we evaluate certain email security practices as part of the Diligence category of risk vectors used to calculate Bitsight Security Ratings. On April 30, 2024, we added a new email security evaluation focused on the use of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) records.

As key parts of the software ecosystem, and as partners, JFrog and Docker are working together to strengthen the software ecosystem. Part of this effort by JFrog’s security research team involves continuous monitoring of open-source software registries in order to proactively identify and address potential malware and vulnerability threats.

While shifting security left has been a hot topic for around a decade, many organizations still face issues trying to make it a reality. There are many misconceptions about what shift left means and what it looks like for development teams to take ownership of security without derailing their existing workflows.

Risk. It’s more than just an infuriating board game from your childhood. And when identity risk is involved in your cybersecurity landscape – and it will be involved, since identity is one of the most easily accessible and most frequently attacked facets of your IT environment – the potential consequences of its compromise extend well beyond losing control of a fantasy continent on a game board.

We're excited to announce the availability of Polaris Assist, our AI-powered application security assistant that combines decades of real-world insights with a powerful large language model (LLM). Polaris Assist gives security and development teams easy-to-understand summaries of detected vulnerabilities and code fix recommendations to help them build secure software faster.

The big idea behind Corelight has always been simple: ground truth is priceless. What really happened, both now and looking back in time. Whether it is used to detect attacks, investigate routine alerts, respond to new vulnerabilities or a full scale incident response, the constant is that ground truth makes everything in security better. We have no claim of authorship here. By contrast, we learn from the world’s most accomplished defenders through their use of Zeek® and Suricata®.
