Open-source code isn’t a new concept. In the early age of software development — the 1950s and 1960s, almost all software resulted from academic and corporate collaborations and was ultimately released in the public domain. Even later, as software projects be...
The European Union passed the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in 2022 to strengthen the security posture of financial institutions operating in the EU. Financial institutions were singled out because they regularly handle high-stakes confidenti...
As today’s threat landscape evolves, nations must draft new frameworks and standards to address the latest cyber advancements. The updated Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) are two of the most ...
Mobile apps have become a prime target for attackers, with Vanson Bourne reporting that almost 90% of developers experienced a breach in the past year. However, there’s still a significant gap between developers’ confidence in their security measu...
A software bill of materials (SBOM) lists every open-source and third-party component in a project’s code. They’re essential for keeping track of all your project’s components and for addressing issues as they arise more accurately. This pos...
The need for application security has never been greater. In a world where technology is ubiquitous, and applications are key to day-to-day operations, organizations must protect their data against the threats of the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. Tha...
About a quarter of Americans are victims of credit or debit card fraud every year. Credit card scammers are getting smarter every day and devising new tricks to obtain personal information, so the number of reports of credit card fraud goes up each year. This...
Cranking out line after line of code has become cheap and easy with generative AI. However, as with most things in life, more is not necessarily better, especially when it comes to code. Combined with a race-to-market mindset and accelerating feature creep, t...
Many software projects incorporate third-party components to add specific functionality. One of the IT teams’ most significant challenges is keeping up with the latest technologies being used. Applications can become a Wild West full of security vulnera...
Cyberattacks are escalating in both frequency and severity across all industries, but the financial sector remains one of the most attractive targets for malicious actors due to the high value of its data. The global average cost of a data breach is $4.88 mil...
The OWASP Top 10 is a great starting point for mitigating code security risks. However, businesses that want to be prepared for modern cyber threats must go beyond a checklist of typical threat vectors. Incorporating security at every touchpoint allows develo...
Code vulnerabilities are among the leading causes of data and security breaches, alongside human errors. This is because, at the beginning of software development, developers often focus more on functionality and speed of development rather than checking code...
