Vulnerabilities page updates: Major improvements to accelerate remediation

We know that most security teams today handle a backlog of thousands of vulnerabilities. We also know that not all of these vulnerabilities pose a significant risk to your organization, whether or not they have a high severity score or are present on a business-critical asset. We’ve spoken with dozens of security teams over the last few months and have learned that filtering vulnerabilities across several factors is critical to accelerating remediation.

OWASP Top 10: Insecure design

Listed as #4 on the OWASP Top 10 list, insecure design is a new category added in 2021 and is related to design and architectural flaws in web apps. Insecure design is a new category in the OWASP Top 10 in 2021. Listed at #4, it is a broad category related to critical design and architectural flaws in web applications that hackers can exploit. Insecure designs can’t be fixed by a perfect implementation. They require security controls to mitigate the threats.

API4:2019 - Lack of Resources & Rate Limiting: The What, Sample Exploit, and Prevention Methods

Lack of resources & rate limiting is #4 on the OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks 2019. It is a prevalent API security risk. As per OWASP, rate limiting and resource-related flaws in APIs are quite easy to exploit, especially with automated toolkits and for-hire services. But the exploitation of the lack of resources & rate limiting flaws has severe consequences for the organization. So, what exactly is this security risk, and how do you prevent it?

Patching Vulnerabilities Within 24 hours

The average time of vulnerabilities remain open is 180+ days from the time it is discovered. When it comes to business growth vs security, business always wins, which means vulnerabilities are not patched on time allowing hackers to exploit them. However, most of these can be patched using Virtual patching. That too within 24 hours and ZERO impact to business continuity.

New language-specific Snyk Top 10 for open source vulnerabilities

Developers use open source code because it facilitates fast development. In fact, the vast majority of code in modern applications is open source. But just like any other code, open source libraries are open to vulnerabilities that can negatively affect a wide range of end-user products. So with widespread usage of open source, it's important for teams to be aware of the risks that can be hidden in the libraries they use.
