Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

You’ve heard it a hundred times – security is everyone’s responsibility. But when security starts slowing things down, it’s usually engineering teams that feel the pain. Nobody wants to be the one responsible for shipping vulnerabilities into production, but at the same time, nobody wants security to be the reason releases grind to a halt. This is the dilemma DevSecOps was supposed to solve – bringing security into the development process without breaking everything.

The security industry has reached a turning point with AI. It’s no longer just hype, as AI has now become a critical part of day-to-day cybersecurity operations. According to The Rise of AI-Powered Vulnerability Management, the latest report from Seemplicity and Dark Reading, 86% of security teams now use some form of AI in their security stack. More than half of respondents say AI is already crucial to their work.

The regreSSHion vulnerability generated a lot of buzz and attention in mid-2024 that has since faded away. That’s in part because there’s no evidence that it was ever exploited. But, I argue it’s simply too dangerous not to patch, and that your vulnerability program needs to be flexible enough so that you can escalate exceptional cases like regreSSHion.

In December 2024, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and International Partners published a guide for “protecting communications infrastructure” in response to the discovery that a stealthy Chinese government threat actor, Salt Typhoon, had infiltrated a number of US telecommunications firms.

Let’s be real—spreadsheets have been the go-to tool for vulnerability management for years. They’re easy to set up, familiar, and flexible. But here’s the hard truth: they’re costing you time, accuracy, and security. Imagine trying to track thousands of vulnerabilities across an ever-changing attack surface using a tool designed for budgeting, not security.

The team at Seemplicity is thrilled to announce a set of new features to enhance our customers’ experience with our platform! This release enhances intelligent automation and insights, personalization and customization, and overall user experience. Here’s what’s new.

Seemplicity’s 2024 Year in Review report offers key insights into how organizations are navigating the challenges of vulnerability and exposure management. By analyzing data from over a billion customer findings across a wide range of industries, the report highlights the urgency of prioritizing vulnerabilities, streamlining workflows, and improving collaboration across teams.

With DevSecOps, cybersecurity has become integrated into every phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). DevSecOps tools work across development, security, and operations siloes and enable these teams to work collaboratively, ensuring security vulnerabilities are addressed early and efficiently, reducing risks before they reach production.
