Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft in the early 2000s, is well known for his "developers, developers, developers" speech, highlighting the more developers, the better. Andy Jassy, the CEO of Amazon, often talks about the importance of builders, urging companies to invest in them, and ensuring that Amazon Web Services, the world's largest public cloud, serves builders as best as it can. Why did both of these technology visionaries place so much emphasis on developers? ...

Static application security testing (SAST), which scans code to find vulnerabilities and bugs, is increasingly considered a best practice for detecting problems early in the development cycle. However, to gain broader adoption both within an organization and across the industry SAST must overcome several barriers based on lingering perceptions. Let’s look at these in more detail ...

Organizations of all sizes and industries are increasingly adopting cloud native approaches. The benefits to the business are enormous, but at the same time, the transition introduces new threats and a wider attack surface.

If security teams cannot prioritize or secure their Kubernetes deployment, the entire cloud application stack and larger organization are at high risk. When not protected, attackers are able to take advantage of cluster settings and escalate privileges to gain full control, which can result in company breaches and the exploitation of private data. Cybersecurity teams should follow these steps to better protect their data stored in the cloud from attack ...
