When it comes to application security (AppSec), it’s important to note that no one testing type can uncover every flaw. Each tool is designed with a different area of focus, along with various speeds and costs – so it’s necessary to employ a mix of testing types. A good way to think about AppSec testing types is to compare them to health exams. You wouldn’t have a cholesterol test and assume your annual physical was complete.

The second most common type of malware incident is the notorious ransomware attack. According to the Verizon 2020 Data Breach Investigations report, the primary aim of a ransomware attack is “to disrupt operations badly enough and long enough that the organization will pay the ransom.” The average ransom payment in Q2 2020 was a whopping $178,254 — a 60% increase from Q1.

Since the start of the pandemic we’ve been writing about the latest CVEs to look out for in our risk based vulnerability management blog. As we head into the Autumn and the nights begin to draw in, threat actors continue to exploit vulnerabilities the world over. Let’s take a look at some that have raised their profile in the last couple of weeks.

Dashboards are an integral component of any effective SIEM solution. After log data is aggregated from different sources, a SIEM solution prepares the data for analysis after normalization. The outcomes of this analysis are presented in the form of actionable insights through dashboards. Many SIEM solutions come with pre-configured dashboards to simplify the onboarding process for your team. Besides, an ideal solution should also allow an organization to customize dashboards as per its requirements.

We asked our Head of Threat Intelligence, George Glass, to share his expert view on the threats that security teams need to be aware of and to tell us what it is he loves about working in the industry.

Many software developers tend to see patch management as another tedious security task that gets in the way of the development process. However, considering Forresters’s recent State of Application Security Report for 2020 predicted that application vulnerabilities will continue to be the most common external attack method, patch management is a critical part of the vulnerability management process that organizations can’t afford to neglect.

In previous blogs on the Netskope NewEdge network, we’ve discussed concepts including Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture and why counting data centers alone is meaningless when trying to understand cloud service coverage. Now that we’ve laid the foundation it seems like a good time to get into what’s needed in terms of architecting the actual network and the connections required.

In this article, we explain how dangerous an unrestricted view name manipulation in Spring Framework could be. Before doing so, lets look at the simplest Spring application that uses Thymeleaf as a templating engine.

In light of the current pandemic, most organizations will be working remotely for the foreseeable future. But the increase in virtual operations has led to a higher volume of cyberattacks. Now, more than ever, it’s vital that your organization is armed with the industry’s best application security (AppSec) solutions. But how do you build and secure technology in an uncertain world? It’s a balancing act between risk, trust, and opportunity.
