Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

As attack vectors expand due to architectural changes, such as distributed cloud deployment, APIs, and multiple access mechanisms, modern apps are under increasing threat. Additionally, with an ever-growing feature set, rapid release cycles, and dependency on third-party libraries, security is impacted at every application stage of the SDLC. Application-layer attacks have spiked by as much as 80% in 2023.

We’ve been talking about digital transformation for years (or even decades?), but the pace of evolution is now being catapulted forward by AI. This rapid change and innovation creates and relies upon exponential data sets. And while technology is rapidly evolving to manage and maintain these massive data sets, legacy pricing models based on data ingest volume are lagging behind, making it economically unsustainable.

In the realm of software development, DevSecOps has emerged as a transformative approach, merging the agility of DevOps with valuable security measures. As a methodology, DevSecOps is about proactively embedding security into the very fabric of the development process, ensuring that every code commit, feature addition, and software release is scanned and thoroughly reviewed for vulnerabilities.

We recently spoke to a focus group of security professionals, software engineers and developers for a discussion on DevSecOps. We’ve quoted a few of them throughout this article.

By implementing security metrics that are as demonstrable as uptime and performance SLAs, DevSecOps leaders can showcase their engineering prowess in security.Measuring security in terms of MTTR, MTTD, Detection rate, Exposure window, as well as velocity, coverage, and uptime, can drive its evolution and development, providing similar automation, observability, and capabilities available in engineering.We encourage you to read this informative article, written by Daniel Koch, our very own VP of engineerin

In this blog post, we discuss how you can manage your security tools in your SDLC.It was great to partner with Daniel Begimher from AWS on this post in The New Stack,

"If we foster a dev-sec mindset from the earliest lines of code, we’ll better prepare our developers for emerging threats and risks and make compliance processes a much lighter lift for our organizations."You can learn more from our CISO, Chris Koehnecke. ‍

There is no doubt that Google is one of the most innovative companies. In fact, if you want to find or compare others, you'll likely Google it. From search engines to smartphones, it has shaped our digital lives. And with its cloud solution, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), its impact in the cloud arena is no different. However, no amount of innovation can make GCP attack-proof. The cloud is home to increasingly more threats, and they come with a hefty price tag.

Programs and apps are a manifestation of ideas in a digital format. If you can dream it in other languages, WebAssembly can deliver it to the browser. From games ported from Unity to PDF editing on the web and leveraging interactive data from Jupyter and Rust, WebAssembly’s use cases are countless. WebAssembly (Wasm) is gaining traction to deliver high-performance client-side code that often cannot be created or executed by JavaScript, at least not in a performant way.
