Nowadays, developers are responsible for more than just creating the application. Besides working on features, developers have to focus on their applications’ maintainability, scalability, reliability, and security. Many developers are unsure of where to start with security. In addition, most companies still work with a dedicated security team instead of having security expertise inside the team. A lot of developers practically live in their integrated development environment (IDE).

As of late, cyber threats have only grown in velocity and volume, with cybercriminals taking advantage of every new capability to grow and prosper. Couple that with a global pandemic and a sudden increase in remote working in the cloud, and you open the door to countless new vulnerabilities.

We now live in an era where the security of all layers of the software stack is immensely important, and simply open-sourcing a code base is not enough to ensure that security vulnerabilities surface and are addressed. At Teleport, we see it as a necessity to engage a third party that specializes in acting as an adversary, and provide an independent analysis of our sources.

As a result of the worldwide pandemic, technology companies were forced to pivot to fully remote operations. For many organizations, this meant accelerating their digital transformation efforts. But despite the investment in digital transformation efforts, there haven’t been enough investments in security measures.

I’m excited to announce the launch of our new global channel partner program. Based on feedback from our partners, this new program will accelerate the growth of our global reach with exclusive benefits, comprehensive education, sales support and marketing resources.

Hidden deep in Google’s release notes for the new version of Chrome that shipped on March 1 is a fix for an “object lifecycle issue.” Or, for the less technically inclined, a major bug. Bugs like these have been common in Chrome, leading some to wonder whether the world’s most popular web browser is as safe as it could be? Google created Chrome as a secure browser and has loaded it with a growing set of security features along the way.

This commitment is highlighted by the results of our most recent customer survey, in which our company’s Net Promoter Score was distinguished as ‘great’ (63). We asked Ashleigh Farrand, our Head of Service Operations, to outline what’s involved in delivering a great customer experience and to tell us why she enjoys working in cyber security.

Fuzzing helps detect unknown vulnerabilities before software is released. Learn when and where to integrate and automate fuzz testing in your SDLC. Fuzz testing is a highly effective technique for finding weaknesses in software. It’s performed by delivering malformed and unexpected inputs to target software while monitoring it to detect unwanted behavior and log failures.

Security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) tools are most commonly known for automating manual security operations processes in order to expedite security investigations or cyber response. For instance, Splunk’s SOAR technology, Splunk Phantom, is most commonly used to automate alert triage, phishing investigation and response, threat hunting and vulnerability management.

In the high-pitched, relentless battle against cyberattacks, much of the attention and energy has been focused on technical solutions, regulatory compliance, and balancing risks with opportunities. What about corporate governance? What role does executive and board-level oversight play in ensuring robust cybersecurity … and what role should it play?
