Application vulnerability management
You can’t plug every gap, but application vulnerability management is here to ensure you don’t miss anything that matters. Reclaim application vulnerability management If application security sometimes feels like bringing a knife to a gunfight, it’s understandable: The average team monitors 129 applications, and over 118,000 alerts. When resources are tight, many organizations focus on […]
AppSec: security for applications
Managing application security risks in today’s accelerated development process is difficult. Here’s what you can do about it. It’s been twenty-five years since Microsoft engineers first coined the term “cross-site scripting” (XSS). Since then, the vulnerability has featured consistently in the OWASP Top 10 of security risks in web applications. It’s in “good” company: all […]
Software Composition Analysis Tool for Open Source Risks
Today’s software supply chain is an expanding attack surface with vulnerabilities at the core. Here’s how software composition analysis tools can help you identify and mitigate the risks before they become a problem. In today’s accelerated software development environment, the reuse of open-source components and third-party code has brought many benefits, but it has also […]
Seven things to look for in an ASPM solution
Traditional AppSec tools can’t provide the code-to-cloud visibility and manageability today’s AppSec teams need to keep up with a radically transformed SDLC. Enter Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)… Here’s what you need to know, and seven critical things to look for in a solution. The average security team now monitors 129 applications and up to […]
SAST vs SCA: Security tools that are better together
Every line of code has the potential to be a security vulnerability. SAST and SCA tools help integrate security into the software development process and improve organizations’ security posture. Here’s how SAST and SCA tools work together – and why you need them. Few software applications today are developed from scratch; in our world of […]
Why You Need to Pay More Attention to Software Supply Chain Attacks
The cybersecurity threat landscape has evolved rapidly, and one area that demands increased attention is software supply chain compromise. Looking back at Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), we can see a 68% year-over-year increase in breaches linked to supply chain interconnections. Not only is the uptick staggering, but 15% of breaches analyzed for […]
Context is king: what the next generation of AppSec tools is learning from SIEM
Success breeds…confusion? AppSec teams face an average of 118,000 vulnerability alerts across their software supply chain. If even 1% of those are being exploited in the wild, finding – and triaging – them in a sea of noise is difficult at best. Throw in multiple tools – on average, security teams need to monitor 129 […]
What to Consider When Choosing a Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Tool
Given the widespread use of third-party components in application development, identifying and remediating code vulnerabilities as early in development as possible is critical. As a result, many organizations turn to SCA tools, however traditional ones often deliver superficial code analysis that floods developers with irrelevant or non-actionable alerts, including numerous false positives. As you search […]
From Alert Fatigue to Actionable Insights: How SCA Fits Into Active ASPM
Using third-party components in application development has become a norm rather than an exception. While boosting efficiency and innovation, this trend also opens up a Pandora’s box of security vulnerabilities that adversaries can exploit. The challenge of identifying and remediating these vulnerabilities as early as possible in the development process is paramount. Yet, many Software […]
