Weaknesses within software supply chains create a foothold for exploitation from cyberattacks. The problem is so significant that even the White House released an Executive Order that speaks directly on this topic. “The Federal Government must take action to rapidly improve the security and integrity of the software supply chain,” states the Executive Order emphatically. Now, you may be wondering what your organization can do to mitigate this risk.

A staggering 96% of organizations utilize open-source libraries, yet fewer than 50% actively manage the security vulnerabilities within these libraries. Vulnerabilities are welcome mats for breaches from bad actors, and once they've entered your system, the impact can be colossal. A software bill of materials (SBOM) is an important tool for managing the security of open-source software.

A high-functioning security program leverages data to drive optimization – by satisfying governance, reporting, and compliance (GRC) requirements efficiently, creating visibility for risk-based prioritization, and leveraging automation throughout the software development lifecycle. Often, however, the data needed to drive these processes is spread across a complex ecosystem.

Software security vendors are applying Generative AI to systems that suggest or apply remediations for software vulnerabilities. This tech is giving security teams the first realistic options for managing security debt at scale while showing developers the future they were promised; where work is targeted at creating user value instead of looping back to old code that generates new work.

Veracode Fix is now available as an add-on to Veracode Static Analysis for customers on the North American instance. Availability for customers on Veracode’s EMEA and FedRAMP instances will be coming soon!

When the Public Sector wins, we all win. Rooting for the security of Public Sector software is something that comes naturally to Veracode. Federal agencies are tackling an incredibly difficult job, and the road to success is meaningful to us all – regardless of our sector or industry. The push for software security came strongly via specific requirements in the Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity in 2021.

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital threats and cybersecurity challenges, organizations face a significant burden known as security debt. Just like financial debt, security debt accrues when organizations compromise security measures in favor of convenience, speed, or cost-cutting measures. Over time, this accumulated debt can pose serious risks to the organization's data, reputation, and overall stability.

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, ensuring robust application security is paramount for organizations. With the emergence of AI-powered attacks and other sophisticated threats, it is crucial to integrate comprehensive Application Security Testing (AST) into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

In today’s digital landscape, the importance of application security cannot be overstated, as businesses worldwide face evolving cyber threats. Both defenders and attackers are now harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to their advantage. As AI-driven attacks become increasingly sophisticated, it is crucial for organizations to adopt a comprehensive approach to application security that effectively addresses this emerging threat landscape.

In today's digital landscape, ensuring the security of your applications is of paramount importance. AppSec, short for Application Security, involves safeguarding your software applications against potential threats and vulnerabilities. While implementing robust AppSec practices is crucial, effective leadership plays a vital role in setting up your business for AppSec success.
