Investigators probing the supply chain attack that hit SolarWinds say attackers successfully hacked the company's Microsoft Visual Studio development tools to add a backdoor into Orion network monitoring security software builds. They warn that other vendors may have been similarly subverted.
Organizations are using DevOps and Agile practices, coding in containers
and microservices, and adopting Kubernetes at a record pace to help
manage all these components. Even five years ago, the level of agility,
speed, and flexibility the cloud-native stack enables was but a dream.
Since Google first introduced...
To enhance organizations' security postures in the year ahead, CISOs must strengthen authentication processes, increase the use of network segmentation tools and deploy effective threat intelligence capabilities, two CISOs recommend.
In the wake of the SolarWinds breach, NIST's Ron Ross has turned his attention to systems security engineering - and the reality that the adversaries are exploiting it to their advantage better than the defenders are. This disparity, Ross says, has to change.
The latest edition of the ISMG Security Report features an analysis of what we know so far about the impact of the SolarWinds supply chain hack and how to respond.
For some, 'observability' is just a hollow rebranding of 'monitoring', for others it's monitoring on steroids. But what if we told you observability is the new way to find out why - not just if - your distributed system or application isn't working as expected? Today we see that traditional monitoring approaches can...
Building a cyber-resilient enterprise requires several key steps, including wider use of analytics, addressing security earlier in software development and improving the search for indicators of compromises, according to a panel of experts.
Waterfall, Agile, DevOps... it seems that every few years, a new methodology is born for optimum software creation within an organization. While these processes all have their strengths and weaknesses, the streamlining (and, er, previously absent red tape) they bring can feel like somewhat of a hindrance to the main...
The working life of a software security professional is many things: challenging, exciting, unpredictable... but rarely is it easy. And in most organizations, they can be siloed, working separately from operations teams and the developers tasked with creating new applications. It can make for a rather chilly reception...
Adopting a "security by design" approach and weaving it into the digital transformation road map helps organizations defend against cyberthreats, says Reem AlShammari, CISO at Kuwait Oil Co., who also advocates threat information sharing.
In a credential stuffing attack, this Fortune 50 company saw bots use millions of username and password combinations in an attempt to hijack the accounts of real customers. These attacks brought with them the potential for sales losses, brand damage, and being out of compliance. The limited deployment options and high...
DevSecOps applies application security testing during the CI stage to put "Sec" into DevOps, so to speak. Security tools must provide meaningful, actionable results in return.
In this presentation, I'll explain why development teams are increasingly turning to source code management (SCM) platforms to achieve their...
Many applications use open source components, which can make it challenging to pinpoint any security issues. How can organizations gain better visibility of risks?
To ensure data and services are protected against attack, DevOps is evolving to incorporate
cybersecurity practices across the lifecycle. Organizations need to take into account the fast-moving
nature of continuous innovation, and a rapidly evolving and fragmented threat landscape: otherwise
security can get in the...
