PRESS RELEASE: Qwiet AI Expands Integrations, Language Support, and AutoFix Capabilities | Read Here
Key Takeaways AI has transformed both software development and the threat landscape. Code is being generated faster than ever, often without the context or security awareness needed to keep it safe. This demands a new approach to how we think about application security. Traditional AppSec tools fall short in modern, AI-assisted workflows. Legacy scanners struggle […]

As the neverending stream of publications implementing Executive Order (EO) 14028 continue to drop, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) continues to provide additional guidance. At the end of August 2023, NIST released its most recent draft Special Publication (SP) 800-204D “Strategies for the Integration of Software Supply Chain Security in DevSecOps CI/CD […]
At the end of August 2023, Jenkins announced it experienced 79% growth between June 2021 and June 2023. With an estimated 44% market share, Jenkins is a critical technology automating CI/CD pipelines. As a technology pervasive across the developer community, the Jenkins vulnerabilities announced on August 6, 2023, will likely attract attackers seeking to infiltrate […]
By Lukas Seidel Coding in dynamic languages like JavaScript and Python is fun and allows for fast iterations, but it comes with a cost. Without proper type information, developers are missing out on the ability to catch bugs early and get helpful IDE support. But the absence of properly typed variables makes life tricky not […]
Introduction The world of application development is a balance between providing features and ensuring security. One tool that stands as a bridge between functionality and security is the JSON Web Token (JWT). While powerful and versatile, like all tools, it requires understanding and caution in its implementation. A Primer on JWTs JWT is a concise, […]
On August 22, 2023, security researchers at Symantec’s Threat Hunter Team identified a previously unknown advanced persistent threat (APT) group using Cobra DocGuard to deliver a backdoor to victim devices via the Korplug/PlugX malware. Carderbee used a known issue with Microsoft’s Windows Hardware Developer Program (MWHDP) to deploy the attack, one that Microsoft responded to […]
Node Package Manager (NPM) is the default package manager for JavaScript that makes it easier for developers to install, update, and manage web project dependencies. In July 2023, GitHub released a security alert about a social engineering campaign targeting personal accounts. On August 15, 2023, The Hacker News reported that North Korean threat actors appeared […]
Every day, another zero-day, previously unknown vulnerability seems to hit the news cycle. As a developer, staying up-to-date with the newest vulnerability is challenging, but they’re only the tip of the vulnerability iceberg. As soon as researchers publish their zero-day vulnerability, the issue transforms into a known vulnerability. Now, security teams and attackers race against […]
Remote code execution (RCE) has been a part of many cybersecurity news headlines throughout the past few years. When attackers exploit an RCE vulnerability, they can gain complete control over the target machines or systems, almost like an invisible hand puppeteering the technologies. As a developer, you should know how to identify and remediate a […]
I’m sure we’re all familiar with the idea made popular by Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers that it takes 10,000 hours to truly master something. Based on the paper “The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance“, the research data indicates that people who are experts in a field got to that level […]
