An application risk assessment is the process of evaluating and understanding the security risks associated with an application. This information is used to help organizations make better decisions about how to protect their applications from potential attacks. By examining factors such as the number of vulnerabilities and the time needed to patch them, they are able to estimate the possibility of an attack on their application.

Custom Descriptions Teams can now design custom descriptions to provide context as to why a finding was ignored, resolved or marked as false positive. Previously, teams were provided a set of out of the box options, for the common use cases. The new flow resembles a standard documentation process where canned and contextual responses are available to help scale internal communication.

21 CFR Part 11 is a set of regulations issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that establishes the criteria under which electronic records and signatures are considered trustworthy, reliable, and equivalent to paper records. In order to sell products in the United States, companies must demonstrate that their systems meet the standards set forth in Part 11. This can be a daunting task, as the requirements are numerous and detailed.

Last week, a vulnerability in the popular MOVEit managed file transfer service was exploited by the CL0P ransomware gang to execute data breaches – an increasingly common cybersecurity attack technique where popular software is exploited to target, by extension, their users. Victims of this hack include British Airways, Boots, BBC, and multiple US government agencies.

While some of the obvious misuse of ChatGPT in the world of cyber security was not unexpected – asking the artificial intelligence to write harder-to-detect malware and easier-to-convince phishing emails – a new threat has emerged that can leverage the very nature of the large language model. Ultimately, ChatGPT is a learning machine, and bases its answers on information it sources from the Internet.

Software supply chain compromises are becoming an increasingly common tactic used by cyber criminals to infiltrate organizations. While the SolarWinds attack 3 years ago was the most infamous, these attacks are increasingly gaining in popularity among cyber attackers. This is because it is often easier to compromise a third-party vendor or supplier than it is to attack the organization directly.

Third party risk assessment is the process of evaluating and managing the risks associated with engaging third parties. It involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks that could arise from working with external vendors or partners. The goal of this type of assessment is to ensure that any risks posed by these relationships are minimized or eliminated altogether.

Can you imagine a world without software? No, neither can I. The same goes for many other technology-based products, such as cell phones.
