140,000 Social Security numbers and about 80,000 bank account numbers — that’s what one attacker stole from a major financial institution back in 2019. How did it happen? The attacker used firewall credentials to obtain privilege escalation and hack into improperly secured Amazon cloud instances.

Snyk, the leader in developer security, is excited to share that we’ve been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2022 Gartner Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’: Application Security Testing. Gartner defines the Application Security Testing category as products and services designed to analyze and test applications for security vulnerabilities. This distinction is based on meeting or exceeding overall rating, user interest, and adoption.
Snyk Security Researchers have been using dynamic analysis techniques to unravel the behaviors of obfuscated malicious packages. A recent interesting finding in the Python Package Index (PyPi) attempted to imitate a known open source developer through identity spoofing. Upon further analysis, the team uncovered that the package, raw-tool, was attempting to hide malicious behavior using base64 encoding, reaching out to malicious servers, and executing obfuscated code.
In the days of on-prem data centers and early cloud adoption, the roles of application developers, infrastructure operations, and security were largely siloed. In the cloud, this division of labor increases the time-to-market for innovation, reduces productivity, and invites unnecessary risk.
Choosing a Node.js Docker image may seem like a small thing, but image sizes and potential vulnerabilities can have dramatic effects on your CI/CD pipeline and security posture. So, how do you choose the best Node.js Docker image? It can be easy to miss the potential risks of using FROM node:latest, or just FROM node(which is an alias for the former). This is even more true if you’re unaware of the overall security risks and sheer file size they introduce to a CI/CD pipeline.
Even the most precise and regimented DevOps teams can be plagued by numerous post-deployment security issues, causing potentially damaging production delays and engineering rework. Building on Snyk’s successful acceleration of DevSecOps, Snyk IaC empowers developers to treat Terraform like any other form of code and proactively test IaC early as well as continuously monitor infrastructure post-deployment.
Starting October 12th, 2022 we’ll be rolling out some exciting new user interface changes for the Snyk application, at app.snyk.io. These changes make use of the Snyk design system by incorporating standardized UI components, an updated color palette, and other elements to help you get even more from Snyk. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the most important changes.
On September 14, the White House released Executive Order M-21-30, emphasizing and reminding us that there are NIST guidelines for securing any software being sold to the US Government. According to the Executive Order (EO), self-attestation is a requirement for software vendors or agencies and acts as a “conformance statement” outlined by the NIST Guidance.
