Software Liability Explained

Software liability is an increasingly important area for every software development company and team. At its core, software liability is about protecting users from damages caused by software issues. As more software is in use than ever before, there’s a lot of ways that software — and its manufacturers — could be held responsible for certain actions or inactions. Indeed, even the rise of cyber insecurity globally could fall into this murky area.

Reduce Operational Complexity with Splunk SOAR Logic Loops

Last week, we released Splunk SOAR 6.2 (Security Orchestration Automation and Response) and in the accompanying announcement blog, we highlighted some of the new key features found in this release. Today, we want to take a more in-depth look at one of those features, logic loops, and show how they make it easier than ever for security engineers and analysts to save time and cut down on repetitive manual tasks.

Leveraging OpenAPI as a Core Element of API and Application Security

An application’s attack surface is the sum of all the areas of an application which could be attacked by malicious attackers. This includes the application’s APIs, the underlying code, supporting infrastructure, and any other components which could be compromised. The goal for any organization is to reduce the attack surface area by discovering and minimizing potential vulnerabilities.

Laying the Foundation for a Resilient Modern SOC

SecOps teams face more challenges than ever, including an expanded attack surface, an increased number of vulnerabilities, and a non-stop barrage of cyberattacks – all of which have materially increased organizational risk. According to Splunk’s State of Security Report 2023, security operations centers (SOCs) have become so overwhelmed that 23% of SOC analysts say they struggle with a high volume of security alerts. There are so many to process that 41% of those alerts are being ignored.

Splunk SOAR Logic Loops Demo

Logic Loops are a feature in Splunk SOAR that allow users to reduce the operational complexity of building and maintaining playbooks that require repeatable looping functionalities without having to write their own custom code. This iterative function allows users to automatically retry playbook actions if they fail, or continue with the rest of the playbook when the action succeeds. This function can be applied to use cases like sandbox engines for malicious URL quarantine and remediation as well as forensic investigation workflows.

Navigating the Intersection of Cyber Threats, AI-Powered Challenges, and Digital Resilience to Safeguard Critical National Infrastructure

In today's interconnected world, where technology and data are at the forefront of modern society, the protection of critical national infrastructure has become more crucial than ever. The convergence of cyber threats and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) has created a complex landscape, making it imperative for organisations to develop strategies that enhance their ability to withstand and recover from digital challenges.

Unmasking the Enigma: A Historical Dive into the World of PlugX Malware

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, one name that consistently surfaces as a force to be reckoned with is "PlugX." This covert and insidious malware has left a trail of digital intrigue, combining advanced features with a knack for eluding detection. Its history is interwoven with cyber espionage, targeted attacks, and a continuous cat-and-mouse game with security experts (1)(2).

SOAR: Security Orchestration, Automation & Response

An important piece of cybersecurity, SOAR solutions provide a single location for you to observe, understand, and decide how to respond to security incidents. Short for security orchestration, automation and response, true SOAR solutions are operational tools that can be very flexible and powerful, useful even beyond security use cases. In this article, we’ll explore what SOAR is, why it’s important for enterprises and how you can get the most value from your SOAR solution.

Reflecting on 2023: Evolving our Product, Deepening Partnerships, and Staying Committed to the Security Community

As the new year approaches, security professionals and analysts alike are taking a step back to review what has transpired over the past twelve months. At Devo, 2023 was an exciting year full of change and progress. As we look forward to 2024, we want to take some time to reflect on Devo’s year across product enhancements, analyst recognition, partnerships, and community engagement.
