Checkmarx

November was a month that started with a Festival of Lights (?? Diwali) and ended with Black Friday – a Festival of Spending (??). In between, Checkmarx has been busy across the spectrum, securing the applications driving our world. Here are just a few of the highlights: ?? We talked to Patrick Debois, the Father of DevOps, about all things DevSecOps and AI (edited version coming soon)>https://lnkd.in/eX7wDJ7m ?? We opened a new office in London (and provided a major stimulus to the local pastry market)>https://lnkd.in/epeQteay ?? Frost & Sullivan ranked us a leader for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)>https://lnkd.in/eJ3BP-gY ?? Our research team continued to uncover threats that matter, such as malware using Ethereum smart contracts>https://lnkd.in/eRQaz7vY Keep following us for all things AppSec, even during the holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Checkmarx. Swap the Static Analysis for Dynamic happiness with the ones you love.

Let’s face it, there’s a reason that DevOps and Security don’t always get on. One is tasked with moving fast ? and breaking things ?? . The other is about making sure things don’t break ?? . But if you want to deliver a supersized AppSec experience, you need to bring both sides together ? . It’s called DevSecOps and requires a cultural merger between security and DevOps. And we reckon it requires five key things to happen: ? Integrations. ? Shared measurements. ? Security education. ? Security velocity that matches DevOps. ? Automating security processes. Want to learn more??Our blog could be the start of your journey towards moving fast, breaking things AND keeping everything safe. Read it here> https://lnkd.in/eYeevY6P ?

Are you viewing your AppSec world in glorious widescreen, surround sound technicolor ??? ? Application security posture management (ASPM) matters because it allows you to find, prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities before they become a crisis. However, most ASPM providers only let you see part of the SDLC.?Some just show you limited results from other AppSec tools - like a confusing film trailer in black and white. Others feature low grade AppSec tools: expect B movie. According to the Frost & Sullivan 2024 Report, one provider gives you an entire code-to-cloud cinematic full screen experience using world class AppSec tools. And that vendor was ( ?? drum roll)… Read the report here> https://lnkd.in/e_qEbEWn?

???? Are old packages more trustworthy than new ones? Our latest research dives into how an older trusted software package turned malicious right under everyone's nose- putting their code and crypto meme tokens at risk ?? . This raises one question to everyone's mind: How can we better secure the software supply chain, and how can developers know what they are choosing is secure?

"Popular package repositories are well-maintained, right?" ??Wrong!?? ??? Enter Starjacking- a technique that artificially inflates a package's popularity by exploiting how package repositories display information about associated GitHub repositories. The result? You could be choosing a package that's riddled with vulnerabilities. Learn more about Starjacking and how to prevent it in this article by Eugene Rojavski at https://lnkd.in/dwcagw59 #cybersecurity #appsec #vulnerabilities #security #apps

?? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TURN DOWN THE FALSE POSITIVES! Some AppSec tools just can’t stop shouting. Everything’s a potential risk. Everything’s a potential attack waiting to happen. The result? A flood of false positives ?? and frustrated devs who just want to do their jobs. False positives even show up with Software Composition Analysis (SCA). What’s the solution? ? Greater accuracy ? Smart prioritization ? Fewer false positives AND negatives … and ?? alerts that actually matter. The Tolly Group has done some independent research on which AppSec solution can turn down the noise and deliver dev-friendly AppSec, including a 100% true positive rate in SCA.

? Let’s get back to basics. What do you need to deliver effective application security? ?? For us, it’s all about balance: managing vulnerabilities without drowning in alert noise ??. Agree? If so, we’ve got just the thing for you. Get the tips you need to choose the right AppSec solution - a choice that could cut alert noise by 90%, save you money, and spare you future headaches. No fluff. No sales pitch. Just straight-up common sense. Ready to go back to basics? https://lnkd.in/entEFdCb
