Your business relies on third-party APIs to operate. Sometimes they enhance your capabilities, and other times they bridge the gap between your business and where your customers are through integrations. Either way, the intermingling of data and services between your business and these third-party vendors can put your business at risk. When it comes to ensuring these providers are handling data securely, SOC 2 has become one of the most common security frameworks for tech companies.

These are incredibly exciting times at Devo, as we continue to help customers solve their ever-growing security and analytics challenges. Our market momentum is continuing, as Devo was recently recognized with a CISO Choice award as the best SIEM solution, earned a place on the 2020 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, and was named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Artificial Intelligence For IT Operations, Q4 2020.

This week Synopsys released the “DevSecOps Practices and Open Source Management in 2020” report, findings from a survey of 1,500 IT professionals working in cyber security, software development, software engineering, and web development. The report explores the strategies that organizations around the world are using to address open source vulnerability management, as well as the problem of outdated or abandoned open source components in commercial code.

Securing access to business resources has always been of high priority for admins and IT teams. In the wake of the pandemic, workforces are more distributed than ever before, and 76 percent of global office workers state that they would like to work from home even when the pandemic is over.

With many countries now participating in the Paris Agreement to address climate change, coupled with the rising popularity of electric vehicles, it is expected that 125 million electric cars will be on the road worldwide by 2030. But these cars, although beneficial to the environment, come with cybersecurity risks. According to experts, security concerns should be addressed before a massive rollout of electric vehicles take place.

We have built our LogSentinel SIEM around some core principles and we’d like to share and explain them.

Continued Kubernetes adoption, unified authorization, DevSecOps redefined, open source dominance and more key changes for the enterprise Amid a year of unprecedented global change, it may seem incautious at best to make confident predictions about the future of cloud-native business. However, there are strong indications of the trends that 2021 will hold — precisely because they are predicated on significant enterprise change.

The simple answer is to use a compiled code tool and implement as many security features as possible, but sometimes time can be a factor and other matters take precedence so less time goes into security. If your code is valuable then you really should spend time adding more layers of code protection (obfuscation, script licensing, encryption) and there is one feature in particular which sets ionCube apart from other tools, offers advanced protection for your PHP code and is fairly quick to setup.

In our first blog in this series, Nature vs. Nurture Tip 1: Using SAST With DAST, we discussed how this year’s State of Software Security (SOSS) report looked at how both “nature” and “nurture” contribute to the time it takes to close out a security flaw. We found that the “nature” of applications – like size or age – can have a negative effect on how long it takes to remediate a security flaw.

Organizations face an ever-evolving threat landscape. With this in mind, it is imperative that organizations keep an up-to-date vulnerability management policy for remediating and controlling security vulnerabilities that may lead to a breach. A good vulnerability management policy should contain the following.
