As the security threat landscape continues to evolve, choosing the best application security testing tools is just the first challenge for organizations investing in AppSec. Next, organizations need to figure out how to best orchestrate the application security testing technologies they are using in order to get the most out of them without losing valuable time. That’s where application security testing orchestration comes in.

Intezer and Microsoft reported on Sept. 9 that TeamTNT hackers are deploying Weave Scope in compromised systems as an auxiliary tool in their intrusions. Weave Scope is a legitimate and powerful tool to manage server infrastructure that, once deployed, makes it easy to control all resources. In this article, we will describe how this tool can be used maliciously, and how to add specific checks in your security set up to look for it.

The maturation of software development has been driven by the increasing segmentation of functions into their own portable environments. Infrastructure is splintered into dozens of computing resources, physical servers, containers, databases, Kubernetes pods, dashboards, etc. Such compartmentalization has made it incredibly simple for developers to enter their desired environments with minimal disruption to other working parts.

It’s time to say a final “Goodbye” to Flash. (Or should that be “Good riddance”?) With earlier this week seeing the final scheduled release of Flash Player, Adobe has confirmed that it will no longer be supporting the software after December 31 2020, and will actively block Flash content from running inside Flash Player from January 12 2021.

Egnyte has always supported the ability to sync an online folder to a user’s desktop. Among other benefits, doing this provides increased performance when working with large files and allows anywhere access to files when offline. A connected folder works in reverse. It’s a folder within a user’s existing file structure that is automatically synced to the Egnyte Cloud.

In part two of this series, learn how to create a data model for the Bitcoin network protocol and use the Defensics SDK to perform fuzzing on bitcoind. In the previous article, you saw how to set up a test bed for bitcoind. We created two containers, fleur and viktor, and set up communication between the two bitcoind instances. In this article, learn how to create a data model for the Bitcoin network protocol, and then use this model in the Defensics® SDK to perform fuzzing on bitcoind.

To enhance and automate your vulnerability analysis, we’re excited to launch the Datadog Vulnerability Analysis GitHub Action. The action enables easy integration between your application, Datadog Continuous Profiler, and Snyk’s vulnerability database to provide actionable security heuristics. The action can be installed directly from the GitHub Marketplace, and does not require you to manage any additional scripts or infrastructure.

Maintaining appropriate information security measures will remain a priority for the foreseeable future, especially with people’s lives becoming increasingly digitized. Here are six trends to expect in the year ahead.

Many people, when reviewing their security strategy, ask the question “is SIEM suitable for my organization”, or simply “is SIEM right for me?” And for a long time, the answer was “no unless you are a large multinational”. The price, the complexity and the hard-to-get value made SIEM a category suitable only for the big corporations with large security teams and budgets.
