Ask any developer and most will agree that Git it is the most popular software version control (SVC) standard today. Just because it's the most popular, however, doesn't mean it's the most secure. Regardless of whether you're using GitLab, GitHub, or a locally hosted Git server each has its own security issues that can sneak up on you and start a wave of additional issues ... What can you do to avoid repeating the Git security mistakes of others? Here are a few common Git security pitfalls and pointers to help you navigate them ...
In 2023, developers will demand solutions that enable highly available cloud-native SQL Server availability groups (AGs) in containers, including support for Kubernetes (K8s) clusters — across mixed environments and across any type of infrastructure or cloud ...

Data breaches cost US companies an average of $9.4 million — and by 2031, ransomware attacks will happen every two seconds. To address the scourge of cybercrime, we must all become data protectionists ...
Mobile DevSecOps as it's currently implemented has a big problem: it's too slow and inefficient to keep up with the constantly evolving threat landscape. In the typical way of doing things, common tools like pen testing and code scanning identify known vulnerabilities, and the mobile app is then booted back to the development team where they manually add whatever protection they can within the time they have ...
We recently published The API Security Disconnect: API Security Trends in 2022, which reveals some striking disconnects between the respondents' experiences with API security incidents, their lack of awareness of their own APIs, and their confidence in cloud service providers and others to provide API security. The findings are more relevant today ...
Living in an API-dominated world poses unique challenges and risks to companies of every size. With ever-increasing digitalization, business leaders must look at traditional security measures in place and assess if they still adequately protect the organization from growing API threats ...

Four-fifths (80%) of organizations have experienced at least one severe cloud security incident in the past year (such as data breaches, data leaks, and intrusions into their environment), according to the State of Cloud Security Report from Snyk ...
The federal government has been quite busy building its case that both the private and public sectors need to address software supply chain risk head-on. However ... for the many software organizations out there that do not work directly with the federal government, what can serve as their source of truth for software supply chain security? ...
Ever experience a serverless nightmare? ... Read on for what we see as the top three serverless mistakes that can similarly get you into trouble ...
The term "shift left" has been thrown around by the AppSec industry for years ... The concept is a good one. The shorter the gap between adding a vulnerability and finding it, the cheaper it is to fix. But today, in the DevOps era, shifting left isn't quite as clear. Two key parts are missing ...
Cybersecurity attacks increase each year over the holidays, and considering the spike in supply chain-based and zero-day attacks as of late, the 2022 holiday season is bound to be more extreme ...

A new report from observability data platform provider Mezmo and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) shows that the current adoption of DevSecOps is low but it's poised for future growth. Based on a survey of 200 DevOps and IT/information security professionals, only 22% of organizations have a formal DevSecOps strategy, but 62% are evaluating use cases or have a plan to implement it ...
The speed and complexity created by using multicloud environments, multiple coding languages, and open source software libraries are making vulnerability management more difficult, according to Observability and security must converge to enable effective vulnerability management, a new report from Dynatrace, based on an independent global survey of 1,300 chief information security officers (CISOs) in large-size organizations ...
As digitalization continues pushing applications and services to the cloud, many companies discover that traditional security, compliance and observability approaches do not transfer directly to cloud-native architectures. This is the primary takeaway from Tigera's recent The State of Cloud-Native Security report ...
In order to move the needle on secure programming, there needs to be a shared understanding of the goals of an improvement program and what it will take to get there. There are four rules we found when we analyzed results from millions of scans ...
In the last six months, organizations from Microsoft to the Red Cross have been hit by cybersecurity breaches.
