Although application security and compliance are relatively modern concerns, they impact every industry that uses technology, even traditional industry sectors such as manufacturing. Most manufacturers that do business on a large scale have embraced technology as a necessary business component in the digital economy. Many manufacturers have built heavily integrated functions across the entire manufacturing process, as well as tying in related areas such as operations and logistics.

Web application security is crucial for any organization that relies on web-based applications. Learn about the importance of web application security and best practices for keeping your organization safe. The importance of web application security cannot be overstated. As organizations move towards web-based applications and services to run their business and connect with customers, it is becoming more vital than ever to secure those systems from malicious attacks.

When you’re looking to secure your applications, you need to keep a few things in mind. You want to make sure that your software security vendor is a fully-Saas vendor you access in the cloud. That way you benefit from scalability, peer benchmarking, and more. Here’s what to look for in an application security testing solution that you can access in the cloud while supporting cloud-native development. Plus, you’ll learn why cloud-based trumps on-premises solutions.

As software engineers, we are incredibly busy. We’re designing new features, writing tests and implementing code, debugging, opening pull requests, and performing code reviews. That’s not to mention all of the DevOps stuff that our teams have us doing nowadays, too. Oh yes, and then there are stand-ups, check-ins, one-on-ones, and all-hands. The thing is: you don’t have time to waste. If there is wasted time in your workweek, it’s worth looking into how to recapture that time.

Jeff Martin, vice president of product for Mend, was recently interviewed by Michael Vizard from the Techstrong Group. In a fascinating conversation on application security debt, the two shed a spotlight on the insufficiencies of the current security stance of many companies and the budgetary pressures that might be influencing them.

We are thrilled to announce our seed round by ScaleX Ventures. With this investment, we welcome Dilek Dayınlarlı to our board of directors and Berkay Mollamustafaoğlu to our advisory board.

It’s no secret that most application security teams are overextended and short-staffed. In fact, a recent ESG study showed that many cybersecurity professionals experience increased stress and job burnout.

The world of software development moves fast, and it's constantly evolving. Containerization technologies, especially Docker, are among today's most preferred virtualization technologies. Although Docker containers are "sufficiently" secure by default, configuration errors in a Dockerfile might lead to critical security risks or degraded system performance.

According to our most recent State of Software Security Report, the financial services industry has fewer security flaws in its applications than last year. Great news, right? That said, the reduction in security flaws isn’t as significant as we would hope to see. The financial services industry has traditionally been recognized for having the least amount of security flaws.

As technology explodes, so do the threats. Point solutions emerge as security players innovate in order to keep up. This creates the need for consolidation, as the fragmented solutions become too much to manage. We’re entering a consolidation phase now, the process of distilling, refining, and letting the cream rise to the top. We sat down with cybersecurity veteran and vigilante, Chris Wysopal, to get his perspective on emerging trends in cloud-native security.
