When and How to Use Trivy to Scan Containers for Vulnerabilities

Apr 29, 2024 By Liron Biam In Jit
Containers are integral to modern application development portability, resource efficiency, and ease of deployment. But there is a flip side to these benefits. Unlike traditional applications, containers bundle everything needed to run, making them a scattered setup for hidden security issues. 54% of container images in Docker Hub were found to contain sensitive information that could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or identity theft.

How threat intelligence can improve vulnerability management outcomes

Apr 27, 2024 By Chris Jacob, Global Vice President, Threat Intelligence Engineers In ThreatQuotient
It might surprise you to know that more than 70 new vulnerabilities are published every day. And despite their risk-reducing value in helping SOC teams address these, vulnerability management solutions have drawbacks. Often, they only provide a snapshot of an organization's vulnerabilities at a point in time. In fact, owing to their nature, vulnerabilities identified today may not exist tomorrow, or they may appear and disappear intermittently. This leaves security teams scrambling to understand not only what the risk is, but how it affects them and where they should start first with any remediation.

Quick Guide to the OWASP OSS Risk Top 10

Apr 25, 2024 By AJ Starita In Mend
CVEs, or known and cataloged software vulnerabilities, dominate the discussion about open source software (OSS) risk. In 2016, 6,457 CVEs were reported. That number has grown every year since, reaching 28,961 CVEs reported in 2023—an increase of nearly 4.5 times in just seven years. 2024 is already on track to beat 2023, and we will likely see even faster growth once AI is earnestly set to the task of finding vulnerabilities (not to mention creating them).
