A denial of service attack is a type of network attack in which an attacker makes the system, machine, or network unavailable to the intended users. There are various types of DOS attacks, like, for instance, a user is trying to reach a webpage but the page redirects the user to another URL or even the user can’t reach its destination i.e. access is blocked. In this article we will discuss.

At SnykLaunch on November 8th, our product leaders unveiled the latest additions to Snyk’s suite of developer-first products. We also gave viewers a sneak peek of these new features in action with live demos. We’re especially excited to announce Snyk Cloud, our cloud security tool that takes a contextual approach to finding and fixing cloud vulnerabilities.

Note: This report was previously published in InfoWorld When developing the recently announced JFrog Advanced Security, our Research team decided to try out its new “Secrets Detection” feature. Our goal was to test our vulnerability detection on as much real world data as possible, to make sure we eliminate false positives and catch any bugs in our code.

Supply chain risk continues to make headlines, from Solarwinds and Kaseya to last week’s announcement of a patch for the OpenSSL vulnerability, and the latest cybersecurity review from the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre highlights the serious threats posed by supply chain attacks.

Today, I would like to show you to a simplified fuzz testing approach that enables secure coding of C and C++ applications. If you read this article to the end, you will learn about an automated security testing approach for C/C++ that can protect your applications against all sorts of memory corruptions and other common C/C++ vulnerabilities.

Ransomware has been around for a long time — since 1989 — but has scaled up significantly since 2016. Author’s from Accenture and Google Cloud, in addition to our very own Vandana Verma Sehgal (from the Snyk Security Relations Team), recently released a white paper, Ransomware State of Mind: How to Better Protect Your Business, which details the current state of ransomware and solutions to address this growing problem.

NPM security has been a trending topic in the media in recent years, mostly in reference to npm packages available on the ecosystem rather than the npm registry itself. The increasing security risk, that applies to developers and software we build, makes it even more important to understand how to prevent supply chain attacks and other security vulnerabilities related to software development life cycle.

The CREST (Council Registered Ethical Security Testers) OVS (OWASP Verification Standard) has been created to help standardise the way that advanced penetration tests are executed by creating a framework for all security consultancies to follow.
