There’s a reason so many organizations are changing their approach to security. Data breaches cost organizations an average of $4.5 million. The old approach, where developers built their code and left worries about testing to the later phases, wasn’t wo...
Kiuwan provides SAST and SCA solutions that use an on-premise standalone Java application for the scanning of source code, then sends the results file to the Kiuwan cloud for augmentation and additional analysis. This Java scanner is calle...
Application security testing (AST) requires a comprehensive approach that can catch modern, sophisticated threats from multiple angles and covers all attack surfaces. Unfortunately, you can’t mount a multi-tiered defense with only one tool. You’ll need differ...
Food for Thought: On-premises Goes Hybrid Using application security testing (AST) tools has many benefits; for example increasing the speed, efficiency and coverage paths for testing applications. However, there are many reasons why individuals may feel inse...
There are three phases of defending against cyber attacks: putting in place sufficient protections and robust authentication mechanisms to try and prevent attacks; appropriately defending against an active attack once it is discovered, and communicating accur...
Over the past two decades, DevOps processes have successfully sped up the app development lifecycle and reduced the complexity and workload for software engineers. However, following the initial market boom, security and privacy were two of the most neglected...
How much can a data security breaches really cost a company? What is the cost of a few infiltrated databases and stolen customer account information? The answer ranges between millions and billions of dollars in damages paid to those whose informati...
Chief information security officers (CISOs) set the tone for establishing a security-conscious business environment. They are responsible for ensuring that the security professionals under them stay aware of the most common vulnerabilities hackers try to expl...
The CWE/SANS Top 25 is a list of the most dangerous common software errors that can leave your application vulnerable to bad actors. It’s put together by MITRE and the SANS Institute as part of the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) project. The list can help ...
Today’s app development processes are not complete without security integration. Security standards provide safeguards for companies to secure their apps and software from cybersecurity threats. NIST, OWASP, WASC, SEI CERT C and J, CWE, and BIZEC are part of ...
The challenge of cybersecurity continues to plague web and mobile applications. Hacking techniques are evolving as fast as technological advances. In response to such threats, the International Standardization Organization (ISO) developed the ISO 27001 framew...
Almost all modern software contains at least some open-source components. Open-source software simplifies the development process and speeds up the software development timeline. It’s also cost-effective in most instances because it’s free to use. However, op...
