What Is a Watering Hole Attack? Detection and Prevention

We already know that cybercriminals exploit the weakest link in your IT networks. The best defense against these exploits comes down to safeguarding the most vulnerable entry points. But what if the weakest link in your cybersecurity defense lies beyond your IT network itself?

Automating Data Privacy Confidence with a PIA

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a process that helps identify and manage any privacy risks that may arise from taking on new projects or systems that involve personally identifiable information (PII). PIAs are recommended by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and required for government agencies to perform under the U.S. E-Government Act.

Can Snyk Find Weak Cryptographic Algorithms? Bye Bye MD5

Using strong cryptography is essential for data protection and application security, such as tasks required for hashing passwords (which, technically, isn’t classic cryptography for the sake of encryption). However, some legacy code may still be deployed to production using weak and outdated cryptographic algorithms that weren’t found. How can Snyk Code help you find these vulnerable applications?

Incorporating security by design: Managing risk in DevSecOps

Today’s risk environment is constantly evolving as threat actors exploit the complexity of modern software. That's why it's crucial to prioritize security throughout the entire application lifecycle, from beginning to end. However, many software teams only start thinking about security when application development is well underway.

Managed Public Cloud: Get the Most Out of Your Cloud Investment

Cloud adoption continues to accelerate across organizations of all sectors, sizes, and geographies. Its growth can be linked to a multitude of short- and long-term factors, from the more recent surge in generative AI (GenAI)-enabled applications at scale to the ongoing rise in data volume. At its core, however, the sustained popularity of cloud computing comes down to one thing: value.

Enterprise Browsers Belong with a Unified Data Security Solution

An enterprise browser (EB) on its own provides a secure managed environment on unmanaged devices and BYOD for web access to company applications and resources. However, alone as an island, EB often lacks TLS traffic inspection and the ability to provide data security and DLP controls.

Kubescape Joins CNCF Incubation: A Major Milestone in Kubernetes Security

We’re excited to announce that Kubescape has officially entered the CNCF Incubating stage! This achievement marks a huge step for the project. The 2021 idea, devised by Ben Hirschberg, ARMO CTO and Co-founder, to create a simple tool for scanning Kubernetes clusters against NSA-CISA hardening guidelines, has since developed, expanded, improved and matured. Kubescape is now a robust, full-fledged security platform, all thanks to the amazing support from the Kubescape community and CNCF.

How to Fix CWE-73? External Control of Filename

CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration 73, occurs when an unauthorized user gains external access to control a file in your system. CWE provides a standardized language and classification system to help identify, understand, and mitigate vulnerabilities in software and systems. External Control of Filename or Path is a vulnerability that occurs when an application allows an external entity to influence the selection of a file or directory location within the system.

A Guide to S3 Pre-Signed URLs: What They Are and How They Work

This guide explores S3 pre-signed URLs, explaining their purpose, benefits, and how they function. It also includes a demonstration of creating and using pre-signed URLs in the AWS Management Console and highlights their integration within the Forward Networks platform for secure and efficient workflows.
