This blog was written by an independent guest blogger.
Cybersecurity may be different based on a person's viewpoint. One may want to simply protect and secure their social media accounts from hackers, and that would be the definition of what cybersecurity is to them. On the other hand, a small business owner may want to protect and secure credit card information gathered from their point-of-sale registers and that is what they define as cybersecurity.
Despite differences in implementation, at its core, cybersecurity pertains to the mitigation of potential intrusion of unauthorized persons into your system(s). It should encompass all aspects of one’s digital experience--whether you are an individual user or a company.
Your cyber protection needs to cover your online platforms, devices, servers, and even your cloud storage. Any unprotected area of your digital journey can serve as an exploit point for hackers and cyber criminals intent on finding vulnerabilities.
People assume that it is the responsibility of the IT Department to stop any intrusion. That may be true up to a certain point, cybersecurity responsibility rests with everyone, in reality.
Cybersecurity should be everybody’s business.
The cybersecurity landscape is changing. With 68% of businesses saying that their cybersecurity risks have increased, it is no wonder that businesses have been making increased efforts to protect from, and mitigate attacks.
During the height of the pandemic, about 46% of the workforce shifted to working from home. We saw a surge in cybersecurity attacks - for example, RDP brute-force attacks increased by 400% around the same time.
This is why cybersecurity must be and should be everybody’s business. According to the 2019 Cost of Cybercrime Study, cyberattacks often are successful due to employees willingly participating as an internal actors or or employees and affiliates carelessly clicking a link by accident.
Sadly, it is still happening today. Unsuspecting employees can be caught vulnerable and cause a corporate-wide cyberattack by opening a phishing email or bringing risks into the company’s network in a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) system.
Just a decade ago, Yahoo experienced a series of major data breaches, via a backdoor to their network system established by a hacker (or a group of hackers). Further digital forensic investigation shows the breach started from a phishing email opened by an employee.
Another example was Equifax when it experienced a data breach in 2017 and was liable for fines amounting to $425 million by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Companies continue to double up on their investments in cybersecurity and privacy protection today to ensure that incidents like these do not happen to their own networks. But a network is only as strong as its weakest link. Hackers continue to innovate, making their attacks more and mo |

2021-01-07 09:18:28 | How to Communicate Application Security Success to Your Executive Leadership (lien direct) |  Over the past several years, there have been many changes to software development and software security, including new and enhanced application security (AppSec) scans and architectural shifts like serverless functions and microservices. But despite these advancements, our recent State of Software Security (SOSS) report found that 76 percent of applications have security flaws. Yet CISOs and application security program owners still find themselves having to justify and defend application security initiatives.
Members of the Veracode Customer Advisory Board (CAB), a group of AppSec professionals in several industries, faced this challenge as well. In response, a working group subset of the CAB collaborated to establish a set of metrics that security professionals can use to establish, drive adoption, and operationalize their application security program. These data points should help inform decisions at different stages of program maturity while answering the basic question: is the application security program effective or not?
How to determine and justify the required resources for an application security program
AppSec managers need a justi?ｬ?able AppSec approach and dataset that set parameters around the program, give a starting point, and set up how the program will grow over time. That approach starts with providing evidence that an application security program is necessary and that it will reduce risk.
To show that an AppSec program is necessary, call attention to data points around flaw prevalence in applications (76 percent) or the average cost of a data breach ($3.86 million).
To show that AppSec programs reduce risk, consider stats like the one from our SOSS report that found that organizations scanning for security the most (more than 300 times per year) fix flaws 11.5x faster than organizations scanning the least.
How to determine and prove that development teams are adopting software security practices
AppSec success hinges on development buy-in and engagement. Therefore, proving that your AppSec program is effective requires evidence of developer adoption.
Consider highlighting the rate at which development teams are taking advantage of APIs to integrate security into their processes Then prove that developers are taking the time to fix the identified flaws by showing your developer???s fix rate (the # of findings closed / the # of findings open).
By examining the fix rate, you can see if developers are actively adopting AppSec practices by fixing ??? not just finding ??? vulnerabilities. The fix rate also shows you where additional training or resourcing investment is needed.
How to determine if the application security program is operating efficiently
AppSec programs are meant to be ongoing ??? not a one-off project with an end date. An effective AppSec program is ultimately a component of the software development process, just like QA, and the measures of success need to reflect that.
A key metric here is the correlation between security activities early in the development process and the number of security flaws found in a release candidate or in production. For example, the figure below shows the relationship between security test |

2021-01-05 13:25:00 | Nature vs. Nurture Tip 3: Employ SCA With SAST (lien direct) |  For this year???s State of Software Security v11 (SOSS) report, we examined how both the ???nature??? of applications and how we ???nurture??? them contribute to the time it takes to close out a security flaw. We found that the ???nature??? of applications ??? like size or age ??? can have a negative effect on how long it takes to remediate a security flaw. But, taking steps to ???nurture??? the security of applications ??? like using multiple application security (AppSec) testing types ??? can have a positive effect on how long it takes to remediate security flaws.
In our first blog, Nature vs. Nurture Tip 1: Use DAST With SAST, we explored how organizations that combine DAST with SAST address 50 percent of their open security findings almost 25 days faster than organizations that only use SAST. In our second blog, Nature vs. Nurture Tip 2: Scan Frequently and Consistently, we addressed the benefits of frequent and consistent scanning by highlighting the SOSS finding that organization that scan their applications at least daily reduced time to remediation by more than a third, closing 50 percent of security flaws in 2 months.
For our third tip, we will explore the importance of software composition analysis (SCA) and how ??? when used in conjunction with static application security testing (SAST) ??? it can shorten the time it takes to address security flaws.
What is SCA and why is it important?
SCA inspects open source code for vulnerabilities. Some assume that open source code is more secure than first-party code because there are ???more eyes on it,??? but that is often not the case. In fact, according to our SOSS report, almost one-third of applications have more security findings in their third-party libraries than in primary code. Given that a typical Java application is 97 percent third-party code, this is a concerning statistic.
Since SCA is the only AppSec testing type that can identify vulnerabilities in open source code, if you don???t employ SCA, you could find yourself victim of a costly breach. In fact, in 2017, Equifax suffered a massive data breach from Apache Struts that compromised the data ??? including Social Security numbers ??? of more than 143 million Americans. Following the breach, Equifax's stock fell over 13 percent.
How can SCA with SAST shorten time to remediation?
If you are only using static analysis to assess the security of your code, your attack surface is likely bigger than you think. You need to consider third-party code as part of your attack surface, which is only uncovered by using SCA.
By incorporating software composition analysis into your security testing mix, you can find and address more flaws. According to SOSS, organizations that employ ???good??? scanning practices (like SCA with SAST), tend to be more mature and further along in their AppSec journey. And organizations with mature AppSec programs tend to remediate flaws faster. For example, employing SCA with SAST cuts ti |

2020-12-15 11:00:00 | Why application-layer encryption is essential for securing confidential data (lien direct) | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. Your business is growing at a steady rate, and you have big plans for the future. Then, your organization gets hit by a cyberattack, causing a massive data breach. Suddenly, your company’s focus is shifted to sending out letters to angry customers informing them of the incident - which is required by law in most states - and devising strategies to deal with the backlash. This is an all too common scenario for many businesses, and the unfortunate truth is that most organizations fail to adopt the correct cybersecurity procedures until after an attack. The good news is that with a proactive approach to protecting your data, these kinds of nightmares can be avoided. New technology is constantly providing hackers new opportunities to commit cybercrimes. Most organizations have encrypted their data whether it’s stored on the cloud or in a server provided by their web host, but this isn’t enough. Even properly encrypted disc level encryption is vulnerable to security breaches. In this article, we will discuss the weaknesses found in disc level encryption and why it’s best to ensure your data is encrypted at the application layer. We’ll also discuss the importance of active involvement from a cybersecurity team in the beginning stages of application development, and why developers need to have a renewed focus on cybersecurity in a “security-as-code” culture. The importance of application-layer security Organizations all too often have a piecemeal, siloed approach to security. Increasingly competitive tech environments have pushed developers into building new products at a pace cybersecurity experts sometimes can’t keep up with. This is why it’s becoming more common for vulnerabilities to be detected only after an application launches or a data breach occurs. Application layer encryption reduces surface area and encrypts data at the application level. That means if one application is compromised, the entire system does not become at risk. To reduce attack surfaces, individual users and third parties should not have access to encrypted data or keys. This leaves would-be cybercriminals with only the customer-facing end of the application for finding vulnerabilities, and this can be easily protected and audited for security. Building AI and application-layer security into code Application layer security and building security into the coding itself requires that your DevOps and cybersecurity experts work closely together to form a DevSecOps dream team. Developers are increasingly working hand-in-hand with cybersecurity experts from the very beginning stages of software development to ensure a “security-as-code” culture is upheld. However, there are some very interesting developments in AI that present opportunities to streamline this process. In fact, 78% of data scientists agree that artificial intelligence will have the greatest impact on data protection for the decade. Here are four ways AI is transforming application layer security: 1. Misuse detection or application security breach detection Also referred to as signature-based detection, AI systems alert teams when familiar attack patterns are noticed. | Data Breach Vulnerability Threat | Deloitte | |

2020-12-03 12:00:00 | Two cybersecurity hygiene actions to improve your digital life in 2021 (lien direct) | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. It is that time of year again where we start planning resolutions for the coming year. A good start is putting cybersecurity on the top of the list whether you are a business or individual. According to a University of Maryland study, Hackers attack every 39 seconds, on average 2,244 times a day. It may be even higher now that more of us are working remotely because of Covid19 and the attack surface has greatly expanded in numbers and vulnerability. Clearly, with the plethora of breaches, spams, and ransomware we already experienced in 2020, we need to be better prepared in 2021. What are a couple of cybersecurity hygiene action upgrades that will improve outcomes in 2021? #1 Passwords Poor passwords have always been viewed as the low hanging fruit for hackers as the easiest way into the crown jewels of data. Yet, many still use common passwords such as #132456 #password, or birthdays that pose little barriers to letting the bad guys access your accounts, In fact, a UK National Cyber Security Centre 2019 survey analysis discovered that 23.2 million victim accounts from all parts of the world used 123456 as a password. Another 7.8 million data breach victims chose a 12345678 password. More than 3.5 million people globally picked up the word "password" to protect access to their sensitive information. Now that we have all become creatures of social media, hackers can use social engineering tactics by exploring your social media accounts that often highlight pet names (quite often used as passwords - I admit I have been guilty of that too) or other identifiable items that may give clues to passwords and interests. What is particularly alarming is that there are algorithmic programs that can also utilize public social sites and marketing information to “guess” passwords. Actions: remedies are easy to get beyond that bad habit of using easy passwords to crack. Do not use default passwords on your devices and when you do create passwords make them complicated. Consider making them long or using phrases with letters, numbers and characters. Also, do not use the same password for multiple accounts. Make it difficult for hackers to get in with one try. Make their challenges more difficult by using multifactor or biometric authentication such as a fingerprint, facial recognition, or texts to verify it is you when you sign in. And if you want to make things less stressful on your memory (we all forget our passwords), consider using a security token and/or password manager. The bottom line is that secure passwords are a basic step to stronger cyber hygiene. #2 Phishing Phishing is the tool of choice for many hackers. Phishing is commonly defined as a technique of hackers to exfiltrate your valuable data, or to spread malware. Anyone can be fooled by a targeted phish, especially when it appears to be coming as a personal email from someone higher up the work chain, or from a bank, organization or a website you may frequent. Usually the phishing malware comes via email attachments but can also be web-based. According to an analysis by Webroot, 46,000 new phishing sites are created every day and 1.385 million new, unique phishing sites are created each month. At a more granular level, the firm Wandera says that a new phishing site launches every 20 seconds. Advances in technologies have made it easier for hackers to phish. They can use readily available digital graphics, apply social engineering data, and a vast array of phishing tools, including some automated by machine learning. Phishing is often accompanied by ransomware and a tactic for hackers is to target leadership a | Ransomware Data Breach Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Guideline | ||
