How does an application find its way into a company? In most cases today, people don’t start by searching through their organization’s catalog of approved applications.

Modern microservices applications built using containers are complex — often requiring complex authorization solutions, due to the sheer number of access possibilities involved. Indeed, as IT infrastructure has migrated to the cloud, along with the applications running on it, security and privacy concerns have only increased. As microservice applications became ubiquitous, open-source authorization tools have come to the fore for many organizations.

When scanning an image you probably want to scan for both operating system vulnerabilities and vulnerabilities in the application dependencies (like npm, pom.xml, package.json etc), in order to get a full picture of the security issues within your images. Until now, when using the Snyk Container test/monitor commands to scan images you had to specify the --app-vulns flag in order to scan for application vulnerabilities.

Reddit is a good place to stay in the loop when it comes to web development news, and if you’re like me, you probably follow subreddits like r/node or r/javascript. I recently found a great way to build a Zapier Reddit integration with just my JavaScript knowledge — so I can share those trending Reddit posts in my team’s channel. In this article you’ll learn.

The education systems, including K-12 school institutions, are in the crosshairs of increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks. In just one month of 2021, educational organizations suffered more than 5.8 million malware incidents. Teachers, administrators and students are also targets as they use various devices such as laptops and smartphones to browse social media or send messages with friends and family.

Welcome to the first episode of Authenticated, a new series from Arctic Wolf Labs designed to break down our fundamental, people-driven approach to cybersecurity. Led by Arctic Wolf Chief Product Officer Dan Schiappa, Authenticated explores how we’re reinventing the cybersecurity industry one innovation at a time.

The JFrog Security Research team continuously monitors reported vulnerabilities in open-source software (OSS) to help our customers and the wider community be aware of potential software supply chain security threats and their impact. In doing so, we often notice important trends and key learnings worth highlighting.

Have you ever been asked difficult questions from your leadership teams that you couldn’t answer? How do you intelligently and succinctly respond to the following questions and have the supporting data to back up your metrics and business outcomes? Regardless of your role in compliance, risk management or information security, these questions can potentially trigger a mild case of anxiety or even a full on panic attack, depending on your organization’s level of control maturity.

The buzz around decentralized clinical trials, or DCT, has captured the attention of organizations across the clinical research industry, prompting no small degree of excitement, apprehension, and speculation. DCT has some in the industry cheering, some biting their nails, and others scratching their heads. But what exactly does DCT mean—and will it truly change clinical research?

Whenever engineers discover a new security issue, the question arises every time: is this an exploit or vulnerability? What is a software vulnerability? How does it differ from an exploit? A vulnerability is a gap in the armor or weakness that allows people to enter. The exploit is the mechanism that someone uses to get in. For example, a door with a fragile lock has a vulnerability. The exploit uses the keys, hammer, or lockpick to break the lock.
