In 2020, over 30 new major features were released across the Snyk platform — in Snyk Open Source, Snyk Container, Snyk Infrastructure as Code, and Snyk Code. While both our development and product teams deserve credit for Snyk’s rapid pace of development, our users also play an important role by continuously providing us with their feedback and insight. Our ultimate goal is to help development and security teams be successful in mitigating risk.

This is a story of bringing the pain forward, begging forgiveness, and continuous improvement. In the early days of Manifold — long before we joined Snyk — we were building an independent marketplace for developer services (like databases or transactional email senders). The structure of our code was typical: we had a React frontend app, and a collection of Go microservices talking to a database. A typical structure meant we had typical problems, too.

The CVE-2021-25737 low-level vulnerability has been found in Kubernetes kube-apiserver where an authorized user could redirect pod traffic to private networks on a Node. The kube-apiserver affected are: By exploiting the vulnerability, adversaries could be able to redirect pod traffic even though Kubernetes already prevents creation of Endpoint IPs in the localhost or link-local range.

In its mission to simplify building and running cloud-native applications for users, Amazon has announced the GA of AWS App Runner, a new purpose-built container application service. With security top of mind for most organizations shifting to the cloud, Sysdig has collaborated with AWS to enable threat detection for the new platform.

Insufficient Logging and Monitoring differs somewhat from the previous 9 risks. While it cannot lead to a direct intrusion, this risk is that you fail to detect the intrusion in a timely manner, a failure that can cost millions.

Security Logging and Monitoring Failures is #9 in the current OWASP top Ten Most Critical Web Application Security Risks.

Chances are, if you’re shopping for a virtual private server, you already understand why they’re useful for web developers, app designers and everyone in between. You also probably know that the surge in popularity of hourly pricing means you can try most of the big players in this space for yourself for the cost of one Bazooka Joe comic (not even the gum, just the comic).

Over the past decade, we have seen the rapid adoption and expansion of connected devices and embedded systems among businesses. This includes anything from the Internet of Things (IoT) to connected medical devices, building systems, Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and other devices that power our lives and our infrastructure.

If File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) were easy, everyone would be doing it. Actually, it is pretty easy. It’s not exactly rocket science. Practically anyone with a modicum of Python, Perl or development skills can write an app or a script to gather the checksum of a file, compare it to a list or baseline, and tell you whether or not said file has changed.

Cloud misconfigurations represent something that’s plaguing many organizations’ cloud adoption efforts. For example, a 2020 report found that 91% of cloud deployments contained at least one misconfiguration that left organizations exposed to potential digital threats. Those weaknesses contributed to more than 200 data breaches between 2018 and 2020, noted SC Magazine, with those security incidents exposing more than 30 billion records.
