The modern approach to application security includes strategies and technologies that help development teams prioritize the vulnerabilities they should address and fix. By giving these teams tools that efficiently identify security vulnerabilities that present the biggest risk, they can address them as quickly as possible. Ori Bach, EVP of Product at Mend, and Harry Mower, Director, AWS CodeSuite, got together for a fireside chat to discuss how to implement these strategies.

JavaScript, like other programming languages, are not without security challenges. These JavaScript security best practices will help you build more-secure code. JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages, largely because it’s an easy language for beginners. It’s easy to set up, it has an active and vast community, and users can create web, mobile, and desktop applications using only JavaScript.

Polaris fAST services are fast, powerful, and easy-to-use cloud-based application security testing, optimized for DevSecOps. Fast. These days, it can be hard for us to agree on much of anything. But one thing that seems to unite us all is that when we want something, we want it now. And we need it fast. Fast is definitely top-of-mind for anybody producing software. Delivery schedules are constantly being compressed, so anything that reduces the time for developer tasks is a good thing.

When it comes to protecting software, don’t count on automated testing to find all the vulnerabilities in your code. Here’s why manual penetration testing is more essential (and more accessible) than one might think.

Learn how the gRPC test suite and gRPC wizard enable Defensics customers to create their own test sequences from protocol buffer definitions.

This is the fourth of a six-part blog series that highlights findings from a new Mend white paper, Five Principles of Modern Application Security Programs. Be sure to look out for our upcoming blogs on each of the five principles. With new headlines every day about organizations that have been targeted by cyberattackers, it’s not surprising that 75 percent of organizations assume they’re likely to have a breach in the next three years.

GitHub Actions integrates AST capabilities into development workflows and CI/CD pipelines to provide instant, actionable insights into risks. Today, the nature of technology and its accelerated time to market require organizations to extend security practices to development and engineering teams.

Government agencies are instructed by Executive Order to improve the delivery of digital services to citizens while also safeguarding critical data and systems. Often, this leads to a difficult decision between speed of application production and software security. However, as recent events have shown, sacrificing security in the name of speed compromises the safety of citizens and government infrastructure.
