Whether you’re a developer or a security engineer, Software Composition Analysis—or SCA for short—is a term you will start to hear of more and more. If you haven’t already, that is. The reason for this is simple. Your company is increasingly relying on open source software and containers to develop its applications and by doing so is introducing risk in the form of security vulnerabilities and license violations.
So, you want to build a Java application and run it inside a Docker image? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you knew what best practices to follow when building a Java container with Docker? Let me help you out with this one! In the following cheatsheet, I will provide you with best practices to build a production-grade Java container. In the Java container example, I build using these guidelines, I will focus on creating an optimized secure Java container for your application.
SSH certificates, when deployed properly, improve security. A half-baked access system using certs is more vulnerable than a public-key-based one if a user or host gets hacked.
The webhook feature of the Kubernetes API offers a powerful mechanism to extend the modules that comprise the Kubernetes API servers with custom code for authentication, authorization and admission control.
At Snyk, we strongly believe in empowering developers to take ownership of security. Developers are the builders of today and ultimately hold the keys to successfully securing their code. Only a developer-first approach, one that combines developer-friendly tooling together with guidance by security, can help organizations traverse the path to better-secured applications.
Demand for DevSecOps products has been growing strongly, as more companies realize the importance of integrating security into their DevOps pipelines. However, IT and DevOps pros who dive into the DevSecOps market looking for options quickly realize that the number of DevSecOps tools and frameworks is vast and confusing.
NeuraLegion’s VP Oliver Moradov takes us through how you can use JFrog and NeuraLegion to automate AppSec testing in your pipelines. The days of long release cycles are well and truly behind us — it is simply not feasible in our agile development world, with developers delivering software and more features at an unprecedented scale and speed. With DevOps, we have multiple development teams running multiple concurrent builds, which is great, but security testing has not kept up.
Used by developers around the world, open source components comprise 60%-80% (and likely more) of the codebase in modern applications. Open source components speed the development of proprietary applications, save money, and help organizations stay on the cutting edge of technology development. Despite the widespread adoption of open source components, myths persist about its usage. The following are the top three concerns associated with open source use.
