?? Aqua Nautilus Finds Significant Exposure of Enterprise Secrets in Leading Source Code Management Systems

Think your secrets are safe? Think again. Aqua Nautilus' groundbreaking research reveals widespread exposure of enterprise secrets in leading Source Code Management Systems.

The combination of poor coding practices and Git-based system behavior has led to long-term secrets exposure affecting enterprises, healthcare organizations, and open-source projects.

Katie Norton, Industry Analyst at IDC, states, “IDC research underscores Aqua Nautilus’ findings, showing that organizations are overly confident in their posture related to the protection of application secrets."

Catch Me If You Can: Uncovering Malicious Threats in Container Images

What do Frank Abagnale Jr., the notorious con artist from “Catch Me If You Can”, the Golden Snitch from “Harry Potter,” and the Higgs boson from physics have in common? They’re all extremely difficult to catch. Whether it’s outsmarting the FBI, eluding a Quidditch player, or taking physicists almost 50 years to discover, each represents a challenge of capturing something elusive. This analogy perfectly illustrates the nature of sophisticated cyber threats targeting container environments today – they are designed to evade detection, making them incredibly hard to catch.?

To help organizations address these challenges, Aqua provides Dynamic Threat Analysis (DTA), which has just received the official patent (No. 12001543) for its unique technology. This capability allows DevSecOps teams to timely detect malicious threats in their container images before they are deployed – effectively preventing them from causing any damage to production.?
