You’re confident in your development chops—confident enough to know the apps you’ve built aren’t completely free of security and configuration flaws. You’ve also researched the deep ecosystem of scanning tools available and perhaps got overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choice. What’s the right “portfolio” of open-source app security tools to identify vulnerabilities in your dependencies, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configurations, containers, and more?

With the alarming number of data breaches and vulnerabilities today, security is now a primary concern for organizations and their customers, but knowing how to efficiently develop and scale secure applications is still a problem. Tackling this challenge requires considering the potential security risks of a new feature or service much earlier in the development cycle, an idea that is foundational to the Secure by Design approach.

Imagine a scenario where an attacker, unnoticed, gains access to your cloud infrastructure, manipulating identities and permissions to steal sensitive data or disrupt operations. In the rapidly evolving world of cloud computing, managing and securing cloud identities has become more critical than ever. Identity-based threats are growing exponentially, and traditional security measures are no longer sufficient.

The term application security refers to all the practices that are aimed to protect applications from security threats, starting from design and through the development process, up to deployment and maintenance.

In today' s dynamic cloud landscape, the demand for a sophisticated, all-in-one security platform is paramount. Panoptica meets the challenge head-on, empowering security teams with actionable insights that enhance their security posture.

In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, the integration of cutting-edge technologies is paramount to stay ahead of evolving threats. In this pursuit, the fusion of Panoptica’s robust capabilities with Multi-Cloud Defense emerges as a game-changer. This groundbreaking integration not only fortifies organizations against multifaceted risks but also establishes a new paradigm in policy enforcement for unparalleled security.

During this year’s RSA conference in San Francisco, we announced our new exciting platform capability: “Bring-Your-Own-Data” (BYOD), which allows customers to integrate their unique data-streams into the Kondukto Platform. Integrating diverse sets of data has become critical for AppSec. “Bring-Your-Own-Data” drastically improves the visibility for security teams into the application security stack of complex environments.

Maybe you’re considering AICPA SOC 2 certification? Aikido was recently examined to check that our system and the design of our security controls meet the AICPA’s SOC 2 requirements. Because we learned a lot about SOC 2 standards during our audit, we wanted to share some of the insights that we think might be helpful to someone starting the same process. Read our top tips on becoming ISO 27001:2022 compliant.

We recently released the State of DevSecOps study, in which we analyzed tens of thousands of applications and cloud environments to assess adoption of best practices that are at the core of DevSecOps today. In particular, we found that: In this post, we provide key recommendations based on these findings, and we explain how you can leverage Datadog Application Security Management (ASM) and Cloud Security Management (CSM) to improve your security posture.
