What the sysadmin misses, Desktop Central catches!

Most people are fairly good at reading, but not enough are good at reading between the lines. More often than not, there are certain things hidden in plain sight that may not catch your attention. The eyes of a system administrator are often glued to tasks like system maintenance and user administration.

Using the Snyk Vulnerability database to identify projects for The Big Fix

As developers we all have our morning startup routine: make coffee, check slack/discord/email, read the latest news. One thing I do as part of my daily startup routine is check the Snyk vulnerability database for the latest open source vulnerabilities. It’s been especially interesting to see the types of exploits and vulnerabilities that appear in different ecosystems. For example, since May 2021 I’ve been watching the emergence of vulnerabilities in Tensorflow libraries.

What Is AAA Security?

Authentication, authorization, and accounting, often called AAA or Triple-A, are sets of services and protocols that enable granular access control over computer networks.

WhiteSource SAST: The Next Generation of Application Security

Today, we announced our entrance into the Static Application Security Testing (SAST) market. It’s a significant development for WhiteSource, which has until now been solely focused on open source software security. In this post, I explain why we decided to make this move beyond open source into proprietary code security, and the value it will bring to developers, security teams, and their organizations.
