Balancing the volume of applications and the increased deployment frequency with the need for security is a struggle for both development and security teams. Recent research indicates that vulnerability management in modern software development has become more complex, with 69% of CISOs acknowledging this challenge. Consequently, many applications are not adequately covered by security scans.
Last week, the godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton smashed the glass and activated the big red AI alarm button warning all of us about creating a world where we won’t “be able to know what is true anymore”. What’s happening now with everything AI makes all the other tech revolutions of the past 40 plus years seem almost trivial.
The RSA Conference 2023 addressed several key issues and trends in the cybersecurity industry. Generative AI was a key topic of discussion, with attendees, executives and policymakers seeing its potential in both offense and defense in the cybersecurity arms race.
It is clear a new technology is taking hold when it becomes impossible to avoid hearing about it. That’s the case with generative AI. Large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and the more approachable ChatGPT are making waves the world over. Generative AI is exciting, and it’s causing a real fear of missing out for tech companies as they try to match competitors.
The RSA Conference in San Francisco drew 40,000 participants over 4 extremely busy days. Read just a few of the highlights from this legendary event.
As developers, we’re constantly under pressure to innovate at speed. In 2022, 60% of developers who responded to a GitLab survey acknowledged that code is moving to production at an increasingly faster clip–up to five times faster than in previous years. But juggling tight deadlines with ever-evolving security threats is no joke. When prioritizing speed, unsafe code eventually slips into production.
