Fostering DevSecOps: Tool orchestration enables AppSec to keep pace with DevOps

Learn how tool orchestration empowers AppSec to keep pace with DevOps, providing a union of security and speed. Many organizations have advanced from the DevOps methodology to DevSecOps, and it is expected this trend will continue throughout 2020 as more enterprises leverage the cloud. A DevSecOps approach promotes collaboration between software application development teams and application security teams.

Application security testing is important-now can you quickly use the results?

Multiple AppSec tools lead to many results. Let Code Dx centralize your AppSec management to help you make sense of your data. Most organizations have more than one application—some large enterprises have hundreds or thousands of applications in development and production. Each application is constantly updated to fix security issues, improve performance, and meet new customer demands, and an essential part of the update process is to test the application for security issues.

AppSec Decoded: Cyber security measures for technology buyers and suppliers | Synopsys

In this episode of AppSec Decoded, we spoke with Tim Mackey, principal security strategist at Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center, to learn what proactive steps both technology suppliers and buyers should consider in the wake of the new E.O.

Integrating static analysis tools with build servers for continuous assurance

Learn how to set up continuous assurance with Code Dx to improve code quality and security at the speed of DevOps. Continuous integration (CI) has made a tremendous impact on how we develop software. The concept is simple: fail fast and fail often. This allows the team to fix problems before they become a big deal, saving time and money.

How to cyber security: Butter knives and light sabers

Building an effective application security program for your organization begins with establishing policies and processes. Psychologist Abraham Maslow wrote, in 1964, “Give a small boy a hammer, and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding.” This is commonly rephrased as “if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

ASOC series part 3: How to improve AppSec accountability with application security orchestration and correlation

Accountability is essential for AppSec analysts, managers, and CISOs. Learn how ASOC tools bring the visibility and transparency required. We have already discussed how application security orchestration and correlation (ASOC) makes the AppSec process more efficient and scalable. In this final post in our ASOC series, we will demonstrate how ASOC tools bring accountability to both the technical and business sides of application security.

A new approach to AppSec

Are you putting your organization at risk with outdated security strategies? Embrace next-gen AppSec to reduce security risks without impeding DevOps. Application development practices continue to evolve, enabling development teams to deliver applications at a pace never before thought possible. At the same time, cyber-criminals have developed new levels of attack strategies and intensified their focus, making it more important than ever to scrutinize applications for security vulnerabilities.

Drive down the risks of security threats with secure ELDs

During this National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we review how to ensure security on the road with ELD cyber security considerations. According to the U.S. census in 2019, more than 3.5 million people worked as truck drivers, driving large tractor-trailers or delivery trucks. Given that over 70% of all freight is transported using trucks, trucking is a key part of the country’s critical infrastructure. Sadly, this has not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals.

Strengthen your cloud security posture with Azure Sentinel

Scalable, cloud-native solutions like Azure Sentinel help security teams streamline security operations in cloud environments. In this first of a two-part blog series, we explore the challenges businesses face when detecting and responding to cyber threats and attacks, and how these challenges can be addressed by leveraging Microsoft Azure Sentinel.

ASOC series part 2: How to scale AppSec with application security automation

Learn how ASOC tools make scaling possible through application security automation and orchestration. In part one of our series on application security orchestration and correlation (ASOC), we looked at how this new application security trend improves DevSecOps efficiency. We will now focus on the typical challenges AppSec teams face due to today’s rapid development cycles, and how ASOC tools can solve these challenges with automation and scalability.

Protect sensitive data with the right balance of AppSec tools and services

Using the right AppSec tools and services throughout the software development life cycle can help you properly secure your sensitive data. One of a CISO’s primary responsibilities is protecting their company’s digital assets, and adhering to current and emerging data privacy laws is crucial. Organizations must ensure that their corporate intellectual property and user data (e.g., customer, employee, contractor and/or prospect data) is safe from cyber attacks and data breaches.

ASOC series part 1: How application security orchestration and correlation can improve DevSecOps efficiency

Application security orchestration and correlation tools empower security teams to speed up the AppSec process without sacrificing quality. In its 2019 “Hype Cycle for Application Security” report, Gartner revealed a new, high-priority tool category called application security orchestration and correlation (ASOC). ASOC delivers three primary benefits to the AppSec process within organizations: efficiency, scalability, and accountability.

New banking paradigm requires better security paradigm

The digital shift is creating security challenges for the FSI. Learn how Synopsys tools and services can help get your security program back on track. Banking isn’t what it used to be—which means banking security can’t be what it used to be either. Keeping customers’ assets safe is no longer a matter of locking the massive door of a vault and keeping watch with some security cameras. The threats to security come from computer keystrokes, not masked men with guns.
