Threat actors will always target the things most important to businesses, and today, that means applications–the lifeblood of the global economy. As the recent Mend Open Source Risk Report reveals, the ongoing rise in open source vulnerabilities and software supply chain attacks presents significant business risk. The number of open source vulnerabilities are growing, just as threat actors are launching increasingly sophisticated attacks.

Hackers use fake ChatGPT apps to push Windows and Android malware, attackers flood NPM repository with over 15,000 spam packages containing phishing links, and New Stealc malware emerges with a wide set of stealing capabilities.

This blog will explain how Falco’s Cloudtrail plugin rules can be aligned with MITRE ATT&CK Framework for Cloud. One important note is that the team at MITRE has developed several different matrices to address the unique risk associated with adversaries in the cloud, in containerized workloads as well as on mobile devices.

Since ChatGPT was released by OpenAI last year, large language models like it have gone viral. Cheerleaders extol these AI models as the future of work, maybe the best thing to happen since the invention of the internet, or as the invention that changes everything. Detractors point to their gaffs, failures, and “hallucinations.” Both Google and Microsoft have been embarrassed in the last several days by the outputs of their respective chatbots.

Can OpenAI ChatGPT become a contributor for an open source project like Falco? Is this the end of GitHub Copilot? ChatGPT is SO trendy that I overheard my grandma talking about it to her friends the other day. We’re seeing more and more uses of this AI for real world applications. That made us think… Falco, the first runtime security project to join CNCF as an incubation-level project, needs contributors.
