All it takes is a single unpatched vulnerability to breach security and gain access to a company’s mission-critical assets. Effective vulnerability management is essential for strong cybersecurity. Vulnerability scans play a key role in this process, offering a clear view of the entire IT infrastructure and identifying existing vulnerabilities. How many times should we run scans? Are we scanning often enough? These are the questions we often get.

Building an effective remediation plan is crucial for enhancing security posture, ensuring compliance and minimizing operational risks. Modern attack surfaces with their ever-growing volume of vulnerabilities have only compounded pressures on remediation planning. Yet vulnerability and exposure management teams frequently encounter obstacles that slow down remediation planning, leading to increased risk exposure and potential regulatory penalties.

The enterprise technology landscape has changed significantly, driven by the rapid adoption of cloud technologies, evolving IT infrastructures, and evolving exploitation activities. This transformation requires that organizations take an updated approach to vulnerability management—one that goes beyond the traditional focus on patch management to encompass a broader spectrum of risks.

As developers, we're constantly juggling features, fixes, and deadlines. Yet, a lurking issue has been surprisingly overlooked: the continued use of vulnerable Log4j and Spring Framework versions in many projects. Despite the high-profile exposure of Log4Shell and Spring4Shell vulnerabilities, a shocking number of applications are still running on these ticking time bombs. This isn't just a minor oversight — it's a major risk.

Over the last 18 months, you’ve probably heard about Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT and Google’s Gemini. Whether you’re using them as a personal research assistant, an editor, or a data analyst, these tools represent a new frontier of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and arguably will have the most significant impact of any technology in this decade.

The digital world is under constant risk as cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly advanced and increasing at a staggering rate. While significant developments have been made to mitigate cyber risk, network security threats continue to evolve further to get unauthorized access and steal data from companies. According to Cloudwards Cybersecurity Statistics 2024, Cybersecurity intrusions increased by 613% from 2013 to 2023.

Snyk Code was the only code security tool shortlisted by developers as an AI tool they’ve been regularly using this past year or are looking forward to using next year in Stack Overflow’s recent 2024 AI Search and Developer Tools survey. This underlines Snyk’s dominance as the favorite AI security tool of both developers and security teams and confirms that Snyk Code is providing immense value to developers.

In this version of the Hacker’s Playbook Threat Coverage round-up, we are highlighting attack coverage for several new threats, including those discovered via original research by the SafeBreach Labs team. SafeBreach customers can select and run these attacks and more from the SafeBreach Hacker’s Playbook to ensure coverage against these advanced threats. Additional details about the threats and our coverage can be seen below.

Welcome to our blog series on Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), where we dig into the five essential stages of implementing a robust CTEM program. Coined by Gartner in 2022, CTEM is a powerful process that can help continuously manage cyber hygiene and risk across your online environment. It’s also a lot to think about when you’re starting out, so it helps to break things down. Our series begins with the crucial first stage: Scoping.
