NOW AVAILABLE through Cisco Secure Application, on the Cisco AppDynamics SaaS platform, new security capabilities combine attack mapping and a business risk score for business transactions to help organizations prioritize responses based on likely impact on the business and users.
Kubernetes has grown immensely, and its use within organizations is maturing. While Kubernetes’ growth is exciting, security concerns around applications deployed on Kubernetes are mounting. Red Hat performed a survey with hundreds of DevOps professionals, and it showed that 55% delayed application releases due to security issues.
The modernization of infrastructure and applications is driving the rapid growth of containers, and as companies scale the adoption of Kubernetes, it’s critical to incorporate security and compliance. The challenge? Compliance and security is a journey, not a state in time, and application security in Kubernetes has a large surface area. This challenge increases exponentially as you run more applications, onboard more developers, add more environments, add new pipelines, and more.
Learn about the latest trends in application security as explained by experts Bruce Schneier, Cisco Talos technical lead, Martin Lee and app security leader, Randy Birdsall.
Today’s developers move at increasingly rapid speed – making it more critical than ever to identify and resolve code vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle. By tackling security early – instead of waiting until testing and deployment – engineering teams can reduce unnecessary patching and maintenance cycles, reduce risks, and ensure timely delivery of new features.
In the modern DevOps framework, the security has shifted to the left and Application Security Testing (AST) techniques like DAST have become even more important. The latest Forrester reports indicate that application weaknesses and software vulnerabilities are the most common attack methods, and businesses fall victim to ransomware every 11 seconds. Further, modern-day businesses are consistently grappling with fast-paced development and industry disruptions.
Gartner Hype Cycle started as a graphical representation method to represent the adoption, evolution, and maturity of new emerging technologies. Over time, it has now transformed into a highly potent and reliable powerhouse of smart insights into how emerging technologies will evolve in the future.
Continuing on the successful webinar journey, last week Appknox hosted a webinar on "Secure Coding Practices to Prevent Vulnerabilities in SDLC." Focusing on secure coding best practices, our experts busted several myths and misconceptions regarding mobile app security in the webinar and highlighted several client-side misconfigurations which generally go unnoticed by the app developers.
