In this blog series, we’ve covered how AppSec integrations can enable a more secure SDLC, avoiding pitfalls when integrating AppSec for DevOps, and how to use integrations to automate security risk information collection and delivery. So let’s wrap up this series by taking a look at how an Integrated DevSecOps program can help future-proof your AppSec program.

Jenkins misconfigurations can have far-reaching consequences; Cisco Panoptica’s attack surface scanner can detect such misconfigurations. Jenkins is a widely used tool for continuous integration and continuous delivery and deployment (CI/CD). It allows enterprise developers to automate application delivery easily, either through an enterprise-hosted or a third-party hosted Jenkins service.

Every year, JFrog brings the DevOps community and some of the world’s leading corporations together for the annual swampUP conference, aimed at providing real solutions to developers and development teams in practical ways to prepare us all for what’s coming next.

In this blog you will learn how to easily secure your microservices apps running on Amazon EKS cluster using Panoptica, Cisco's cloud native application security SaaS service. We use an open source Kubernetes Goat application to see common misconfigurations, real-world vulnerabilities, and security issues in Kubernetes clusters, containers, and cloud native environments.

At this year’s AWS re:Invent, Mic McCully, Field CTO at Snyk, spoke with Jacob Salassi, Director of Product Security at Snowflake. They discussed what it looked like for Snowflake to overcome various security challenges with the right combination of processes, company culture shifts, and tool partners (including Snyk!). Read on to learn about the practices Jacob and his team established to create a successful application security program.

IBM’s annual Cost of a Data Breach Report offers its usual insights into the scale of cybercrime and the costs of security breaches. It paints a picture of a technological landscape which is becoming more complex, demanding and uncertain. As organizations increasingly migrate to cloud platforms, the need to fortify these digital landscapes against a plethora of threats has never been more crucial. So, what are the biggest takeaways from this year’s report with focus on cloud security?

Application architectures have been transformed in recent years. Modern application systems have become more complex with monolithic applications being replaced by more complicated applications based on multiple microservices and stored on cloud platforms. These applications run on new technologies based on Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

The philosophy of "shifting left" in software development is transforming the way we approach error and resolution. By moving the focus of error detection to earlier stages in the development cycle, teams can address issues when they are more accessible and less expensive to fix. Integral to this shift-left approach are Git hooks, powerful tools that allow us to enforce quality control right from the code-commit stage.

We’re using more code, software components, and dependencies than ever before, making security breaches an ever-growing threat. It’s easy for developers and DevOps teams to neglect dependency updates when faced with such high volume, but doing so allows applications to fall behind the latest versions if not properly managed. This typically leaves applications using outdated dependencies, which exposes them to ever-increasing security debt and risk.
