Open source helps developers build faster. But who’s making sure these open source dependencies (sometimes years out of development) stay secure? In a recent npm security research activity, Snyk uncovered a total of 8 npm packages which matched a specific malicious code vector of attack. This specific attack vector of the malicious packages included packages which had pre/post install scripts, which allowed them to run arbitrary commands when installed.

The success of a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture depends on how well networking and security teams, and the products and services they manage, converge into a shared set of priorities tied to business objectives.

For a managed service provider (MSP), answering questions about data governance—specifically data security and privacy—is a vital part of the job. Understanding the complexities of content management systems, automation, and more ensures you are at the top of the data security field.

GitHub is a code versioning tool, which means that it preserves a full history of searchable code changes. Sensitive data can proliferate in these code changes and is not always easily discoverable. Credentials & secrets that are hard-coded in GitHub repositories pose risk if repos are leaked or accessed via social engineering attacks, as they can provide access to infrastructure, databases, and third-party APIs. Likewise, sensitive data like customer PII can end up in code repos.

The Atlassian suite makes remote collaboration easy and efficient for distributed teams.

In this article, we are going to explore the process of ingesting logs into your data lake, and the value of importing your firewall logs into Coralogix. To understand the value of the firewall logs, we must first understand what data is being exported. A typical layer 3 firewall will export the source IP address, destination IP address, ports and the action for example allow or deny. A layer 7 firewall will add more metadata to the logs including application, user, location, and more.
