The recent exposure of customer data on the website of Singapore Airlines as a result of a software bug is further evidence of the persistent challenge of adequately addressing security during the development stage.
Recent analysis by F5 Labs shows that 68% of malware installed through phishing is hiding in encryption. Security inspection tools such as next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, data loss prevention systems, and others are increasingly blind to SSL/TLS traffic. In some cases, they introduce latency...
Encrypting and decrypting traffic consumes a lot of computational power, so many security inspection solutions either don't decrypt at all or take such a huge performance hit that they pass along encrypted traffic just to keep up. Whether its traffic coming into your application or internal traffic going out to the...
The increase of SSL/TLS traffic indicates that organizations are more and more focused on safeguarding the integrity of the data that flows through their Internet-facing applications.
However, the concurrent growth of malware hidden within that encrypted traffic is cause for concern. Without visibility into your...
Open source components help developers build and deploy applications faster, but with increased speed comes greater risk. Maria Loughlin of Veracode describes how to reduce those risks through several steps, including component inventories and developer education.
Application threat modeling enables the systematic evaluation of applications from an attacker's point of view, says Fouad Khalil of SecurityScorecard.
DigiCert just conducted a global study of how organizations across sectors are approaching IoT security. What are some of the best practices of the organizations that emphasize securing connected devices? Mike Nelson of DigiCert shares the findings.

Data protection, confidentiality, integrity and availability have long been threatened not only by amateur hackers, but by profit-oriented, well-organised criminals. Victims can usually only react because many of the usual methods...
Israel-based Yehuda Lindell, a cryptography professor, describes how to use secure multiparty computation technology to protect cryptographic keys and describes other potential security applications.
Automotive smartphone apps that can be used to unlock or start a car pose new risks that must be managed, says Asaf Ashkenazi of Inside Secure, a mobile security firm, who provides risk mitigation insights.
The coming end-of-support for Windows Server 2008 leaves IT organizations with few viable options to receive security updates beyond the cut-off date of January 14, 2020. Upgrading will be no small feat as roughly 70% of enterprise Windows applications run on Windows Server 2008 or earlier versions*.

As application development teams strive to deploy features and changes into production as quickly as possible, an organization must rapidly adapt to ensure it's security posture is maintained yet doesn't slow down the build-to-deploy pipelines. The power of Kubernetes and Deep Security Smart Check together reduce the...
Symantec has announced not one but two acquisitions of private cybersecurity firms: Javelin Networks and Appthority. Meanwhile, a private equity firm announced that it will acquire application security testing firm Veracode from Broadcom for $950 million in cash.
Most organizations are undergoing some form of digital transformation (DX), transforming how they bring products and services to the market - and deliver value to their customers. But DX initiatives bring complexity for network operations teams. With business-critical services distributed across multiple clouds, this...
