The rising adoption of Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platforms by organizations to manage their application security from a single platform has led to new requirements, especially in large organizations with diverse workforces and varied responsibilities. While centralization through ASPM enhances visibility, it also creates a single point of failure if not implemented correctly. Therefore, granular access controls are crucial to prevent unauthorized access.

Building secure applications is about more than just adding security features at the end of the development process. It’s about addressing vulnerabilities and threats as they arise and improving security continuously—right from the start. That’s the power of DevSecOps.

Checking off application security requirements for SOC 2 compliance is often a burden for everyone involved. Security and GRC teams need to manually upload evidence to SOC2 compliance systems like Drata, while development teams suddenly need to use code security scanners that throw wrenches in the SDLC.

Software Bills of Material (SBOMs) are documents which contain a list of components and dependencies of a given software ecosystem, like a list of ingredients in a recipe. On its own, an SBOM can provide some context to how the application was created, what kinds of functionality it may contain, as well as provide a glimpse into the lifecycle of the software project.

Imagine you’re building a blogging web app using Prisma. You write a simple query to authenticate users based on their provided email and password: Looks harmless, right? But what if an attacker sends password = { "not": "" }? Instead of returning the User object only when email and password match, the query always returns the User when only the provided email matches. This vulnerability is known as operator injection, but it’s more commonly referred to as NoSQL injection.
