The leak has drawn attention from security experts regarding the implications for the social media platform and raised concerns over the […]

    In a recent thread on a discussion forum, a group of developers discussed time lost on bug chasing. One developer lamented that he lost 5 days; another 5 years between the time it was discovered and the time it was finally resolved. Still another developer estimated that in an organization of 400 engineers, […]

A New Approach To Prioritization In the race to produce code, security can sometimes seem like a bit of a speedbump. Engineering teams face tight deadlines and security teams want to ensure the code doesn’t ship with vulnerabilities that could lead to the next big breach.  At Qwiet AI, we’ve found that even highly accurate […]

The Biden Administration released its National Cybersecurity Strategy last week. It aims to address the increasing threat of cyberattacks and protect America’s critical infrastructure, data, and networks.

As we embark on this new chapter in application security, it’s important to understand how AI and machine learning can provide greater understanding and insight into vulnerabilities than older methods of detection. In this article we will cover the following: The risk of using vulnerable dependencies (directly or transitively) Not all vulnerabilities pose risk. Why not? […]

Walk, Talk and Act like your internal customers: Product Engineering In my previous role at Nielsen, Clay Carter and Sam Neely did a phenomenal job of organizing the Product Security function into what closely resembles an engineering function. Product Managers oversaw services built internally and off the shelf. These services go through release planning, sprints […]

The Background Cybercriminals are currently exploiting a vulnerability in the popular server administration tool Control Web Panel (CWP). This vulnerability allows for a fairly trivial remote code execution (RCE), requiring no authentication. A recent Shodan search shows over 426,000 servers currently running CWP (down from around 435,000 servers a couple days ago) around the globe. […]
