NeuraLegion’s VP Oliver Moradov takes us through how you can use JFrog and NeuraLegion to automate AppSec testing in your pipelines. The days of long release cycles are well and truly behind us — it is simply not feasible in our agile development world, with developers delivering software and more features at an unprecedented scale and speed. With DevOps, we have multiple development teams running multiple concurrent builds, which is great, but security testing has not kept up.

Application security testing tools help developers understand security concerns, but having too many tools can do more harm than good. Good tools are essential for building just about anything. But maybe that needs a bit more clarification: Not just good tools. They also have to be the right tools.

In order to develop stable and secure applications, you need to inspect and verify that your software performs as expected. The most common approaches to testing software are white box testing, black box testing, and gray box testing.

Now that 2021 is proving to not be the fresh start many hoped for, it’s time to re-examine the security lessons learnt in 2020. As the transformational business challenges of the last 12 months demonstrated, security should always be high on the agenda no matter what your organisation size. After all, as we revealed in our 2021 annual cyber security industry report, hackers don’t care what size or type of business you are – only if you’re an easy target.

WebSockets is a bi-directional, full-duplex communications protocol initiated over HTTP. They are commonly used in modern web applications for streaming data, Chat applications, and other asynchronous traffic. It is a protocol where the client and server can send the messages simultaneously over the channel.

Design quality audits are sometimes overlooked in software due diligence, but they are vital to understanding the overall health of a company’s software system. When software is part of an M&A transaction, performing technical due diligence is a critical part of the process. There’s a lot to cover when it comes to software due diligence, and you can learn more by reading our take on the specific areas of the process, but today we’d like to discuss software quality.
