The Power of Open-Source Tools for Network Detection & Incident Response

When conducting incident response, EDR and firewall technologies can only show you so much. The breadth of network traffic provides an unrivaled source of evidence and visibility. Open source security technologies such as Zeek, Suricata, and Elastic can deliver powerful network detection and response capabilities, furthermore the global communities behind these tools can also serve as a force multiplier for security teams, often accelerating response times to zero-day exploits via community-driven intel sharing.

The npm faker package and the unexpected demise of open source libraries

Where do open source dependencies go to die, and why do they come to an end? What happened to the npm faker module? Can it happen again? Join me to learn how open source software libraries rise to glory and how they reach their end of life. I’ll also include some takeaways for developers and ops engineers.

How open source C++ code can introduce security risks

Open source libraries and frameworks are a great way to jump-start development projects. Open source empowers developers to do some great things without reinventing the wheel and developing solutions for problems that have already been solved. However, adding any code to a project carries an inherent risk of introducing potential vulnerabilities that may have made their way into it through error or malice.

An Inside Look at How to Keep Open Source Software Dependencies Up-to-Date and Secure

Today, open source software provides the foundation for the vast majority of applications across all industries, and software development has slowly moved toward software assembling. Because of this change in the way we deliver the software, new attack surfaces have evolved and software security is facing new challenges inherent with dependency on open source software.
