When we make our way into the ecosystem of security technology and infrastructure initiative, learning about application security trends becomes of utmost importance. The unpredictable COVID-19 situation has made global businesses more vulnerable than ever to cyberattacks and breaches. Be it the Zoom data breach (500k records stolen) or the Marriott (5.2 million records breached), hackers don't seem to miss opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to business infrastructures and public records.

In public-facing cloud environments with faster than ever deployment and delivery speeds, we need security models that can keep up with the pace. However, security still remains one of the most downplayed affairs in many organizations. While DevOps practices have helped organizations find means to build and react to the market faster, the hurdles of relying on traditional security are still making inroads for more and more threat incidents.

The price, the complexity and the hard-to-get value made SIEM a category suitable only for the big corporations with large security teams and budgets. While these used to be correct, that's no longer the case. And the problems that SIEM solves, related to reducing cyber risk, preventing insider threats, covering compliance requirements- are all problems that SME/mid-market organizations have as well.

Snyk's annual State of Open Source Security Report 2020 is here. Download it now to learn how Open Source security is evolving.

This book reviews how the serverless paradigm affects the security of an application, and dives into the benefits it brings.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems have been around for more than 2 decades. Since then both their definition and benefits have considerably evolved but their main purpose remains - to reduce security and regulatory risk.

81% of security and development professionals believe developers are responsible for open source security - but many organizations are still unsure how to start building a culture and practice of DevSecOps. Puppet & Snyk's study is digging deeper into the trends of DevSecOps adoption.
