How to make security accessible to developers
Security responsibilities are often placed on end users, with less focus placed on the developers responsible for building the products.
To successfully democratize security for developers, security must be the path of least resistance. It’s about making security the simplest choice. Building a secure application must be easier than building an insecure one.
Weak Ties and Why They Are a Growing Management Problem
Within our social lives, it’s not uncommon to have relationships that are stronger than others. The same can be said of work relationships. There are often strong ties between fellow team members or people who interact regularly. There are also weak ties — work relationships that aren’t as strong as those within a core team.
Oak9’s IaC security platform now available on AWS
Cloud platform oak9 has launched its security offering on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Oak9 continuously and dynamically monitors organizations’ Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to provide round-the-clock security.
How Infrastructure as Code can automate and scale security
Building cloud-native applications has never been easier or faster. Infrastructure as Code (IaC), representing entire application architectures, has allowed developers to achieve new velocities that bring applications to market faster than ever with scalable, automated deployments.
Millions of Microsoft web servers powered by vulnerable legacy software
Boasting a market share of 12.4%, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is the third-most-popular suite of web server software, used to power at least 51.6 million websites and web applications worldwide. When it comes to security, most web servers running the latest versions of IIS will generally be in good shape.
However, not all versions of IIS are created equal.
Your Security Debt is Due. Here’s How to Pay it Off
An acceleration in major supply chain attacks, from SolarWinds to the Microsoft Exchange Server attack to the ransomware spread through Kaseya, should have every developer looking in the mirror and doing some soul-searching. For too long, security debt has been left to accumulate, posing a potential risk to every user and customer.
Checking for misconfigurations isn’t enough
Misconfiguration errors are often the main focus of security for cloud-native applications, and for good reason.
