A security violation in the form of a data breach can create costly damage to a company's reputation. But what exactly is a data breach? The European Commission has divided data breaches into three distinct categories — confidentiality breaches, integrity breaches, and availability breaches: In this article, you'll learn more about what a data breach is and how you can prevent data breaches when designing and developing your software.
The landscape of application development is constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements and changing user demands. Over the past few years, we have witnessed the rise of generative AI, the “shift left” approach, and the increasing prominence of low-code/no-code development.
The new partnership enables Snyk and GitGuardian to build, integrate and go to market together to help development and security teams scale their security programs and significantly reduce their applications' attack surface at every stage of the code-to-cloud lifecycle.
As developers, we’re constantly under pressure to innovate at speed. In 2022, 60% of developers who responded to a GitLab survey acknowledged that code is moving to production at an increasingly faster clip–up to five times faster than in previous years. But juggling tight deadlines with ever-evolving security threats is no joke. When prioritizing speed, unsafe code eventually slips into production.
Anyone who works on application security knows developers are inseparable from AppSec programs. Even so, the hardest part is figuring out how to get security on their agenda and actively involve them in preventing and managing vulnerabilities. Only with their buy-in and active involvement, it is possible to scale an application security program to the level desired by AppSec teams, especially in large enterprises where developers way outnumber security engineers.
Implementing adequate software supply chain security is a challenging feat in 2023. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated, and the growing complexity of modern applications makes them difficult to defend. We’re talking microservices, multi-cloud environments, and complex workflows — all moving at the speed of business. To address these challenges, the Snyk team organized two roundtable discussions, one held in North America and the other in EMEA.
