Are you putting your organization at risk with outdated security strategies? Embrace next-gen AppSec to reduce security risks without impeding DevOps. Application development practices continue to evolve, enabling development teams to deliver applications at a pace never before thought possible. At the same time, cyber-criminals have developed new levels of attack strategies and intensified their focus, making it more important than ever to scrutinize applications for security vulnerabilities.

Drive down the risks of security threats with secure ELDs

During this National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we review how to ensure security on the road with ELD cyber security considerations. According to the U.S. census in 2019, more than 3.5 million people worked as truck drivers, driving large tractor-trailers or delivery trucks. Given that over 70% of all freight is transported using trucks, trucking is a key part of the country’s critical infrastructure. Sadly, this has not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals.

ASOC series part 2: How to scale AppSec with application security automation

Learn how ASOC tools make scaling possible through application security automation and orchestration. In part one of our series on application security orchestration and correlation (ASOC), we looked at how this new application security trend improves DevSecOps efficiency. We will now focus on the typical challenges AppSec teams face due to today’s rapid development cycles, and how ASOC tools can solve these challenges with automation and scalability.

Protect sensitive data with the right balance of AppSec tools and services

Using the right AppSec tools and services throughout the software development life cycle can help you properly secure your sensitive data. One of a CISO’s primary responsibilities is protecting their company’s digital assets, and adhering to current and emerging data privacy laws is crucial. Organizations must ensure that their corporate intellectual property and user data (e.g., customer, employee, contractor and/or prospect data) is safe from cyber attacks and data breaches.

ASOC series part 1: How application security orchestration and correlation can improve DevSecOps efficiency

Application security orchestration and correlation tools empower security teams to speed up the AppSec process without sacrificing quality. In its 2019 “Hype Cycle for Application Security” report, Gartner revealed a new, high-priority tool category called application security orchestration and correlation (ASOC). ASOC delivers three primary benefits to the AppSec process within organizations: efficiency, scalability, and accountability.

New banking paradigm requires better security paradigm

The digital shift is creating security challenges for the FSI. Learn how Synopsys tools and services can help get your security program back on track. Banking isn’t what it used to be—which means banking security can’t be what it used to be either. Keeping customers’ assets safe is no longer a matter of locking the massive door of a vault and keeping watch with some security cameras. The threats to security come from computer keystrokes, not masked men with guns.

The “key” is not a key in the traditional sense; all I have to do is put it in my pocket and forget about it. When I reach for the car door handle, it simply unlocks. When I leave the car, I wave my hand over the handle to lock the car.
