7 hours. That’s how long, on average, a developer takes to remediate a security issue in their code. Vulnerability detection is improving rapidly and scaling, but remediating security risks is still a tedious, time-consuming process that takes developers away from their core work. And now, with AI-generated code introducing vulnerabilities at greater speed and volume than ever before, remediation is taking even more time.

In the wake of Cisco’s recent data breach involving exposed API tokens - amongst other sensitive information - the cybersecurity community is reminded once again of the significant risks associated with unsecured APIs. Though Cisco has asserted that the damage was limited to a public-facing environment, such breaches demand a more cautious evaluation. Exposing sensitive information like API tokens, credentials, and even source code can have broader security implications than initially apparent.

In cybersecurity, transparency matters—because none of us are immune. Increasingly, we’re seeing threat actors hone in on specific organizations. When we detected the recent “Contagious Interview” campaign targeting one of our own, our team acted fast to stop it in its tracks.

Securing data today requires the context provided by data lineage: where data came from, who interacted with it over time, which systems have used it, and more. But buyer beware: many vendors now claim to offer “data lineage” that only provides a tiny fraction of the context of true, global data lineage.

The Cyberint Europe Threat Landscape 2024-2025 report sheds light on the increasingly complex and evolving cyber threat environment affecting organizations across Europe and the UK. Leveraging data from Cyberint—which monitors threats like phishing, malware, and supply chain vulnerabilities—the report highlights a surge in malicious activities driven by global conflicts, technological shifts, and the growing use of generative AI in cybercrime.

Continuous vulnerability management is not just a best practice—it's a necessity. With so many open-source dependencies to choose from (almost 3 million on the npm registry!), it’s no wonder supply chain security incidents are the focus of malicious actors. Let’s not forget the rise of ChatGPT, LLM chatbots, and AI-assisted code generation.
