As the backbone of modern business operations, applications are frequently targeted by sophisticated malicious threats. In this blog post, we provide a high-level overview of how malicious code can enter your software applications. We look at different forms of malicious code, their entry points, practical tools and strategies for detection & prevention, focusing on innovative solutions.
Considering the complexity of the modern application stack and developer tooling, ensuring the security of your application throughout its lifecycle can quickly become a daunting task.
Container security is an increasingly vital aspect of modern software development and deployment. Understanding and implementing effective security measures becomes essential as organizations shift towards containerizing their applications. This article will explore practical insights and strategies for ensuring robust container security. We will delve into some best practices and tools to secure container environments, focusing on securing images and registries, container deployment, runtime security, and more.
During a recent customer engagement, we encountered an interesting situation. The customer had raised concerns about a Java XXE (XML External Entity) vulnerability that had left their developers puzzled. Notably, their Static Application Security Testing (SAST) scans consistently identified this as a potential vulnerability.
The current cyber world is a veritable minefield, with problems and dangers evolving at a rate that far outstrips the ability of most organizations to respond. More than merely a technical issue, an organization's security posture is determined by the quality of its vulnerability management.
Getting management to back your application security plans can be a tough sell. Metrics are vital because they help you understand how effective your initial cybersecurity measures are and how to turn them into measurable data that's easy for everyone to understand. This article will explore how to use metrics to get the support you need and make your application security programs more effective.
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.
