Not Your Old ActiveState: Introducing our End-to-End OS Platform

Not Your Old ActiveState: Introducing our End-to-End OS Platform

Dec 18, 2024 Software Security / DevSecOps
Having been at ActiveState for nearly eight years, I've seen many iterations of our product. However, one thing has stayed true over the years: Our commitment to the open source community and companies using open source in their code. ActiveState has been helping enterprises manage open source for over a decade. In the early days, open source was in its infancy. We focused mainly on the developer case, helping to get open source on platforms like Windows. Over time, our focus shifted from helping companies run open source to supporting enterprises managing open source when the community wasn't producing it in the way they needed it. We began managing builds at scale, and supporting enterprises in understanding what open source they're using and if it's compliant and safe. Managing open source at scale in a large organization can be complex. To help companies overcome this and bring structure to their open source DevSecOps practice, we're unveiling our end-to-end platform to help m...
Data Governance in DevOps: Ensuring Compliance in the AI Era

Data Governance in DevOps: Ensuring Compliance in the AI Era

Dec 16, 2024 DevOps / Data Governance
With the evolution of modern software development, CI/CD pipeline governance has emerged as a critical factor in maintaining both agility and compliance. As we enter the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the importance of robust pipeline governance has only intensified. With that said, we'll explore the concept of CI/CD pipeline governance and why it's vital, especially as AI becomes increasingly prevalent in our software pipelines. What is CI/CD Pipeline Governance? CI/CD pipeline governance refers to the framework of policies, practices, and controls that oversee the entire software delivery process. It ensures that every step, from the moment the code is committed to when it's deployed in production, adheres to organizational standards, security protocols, and regulatory requirements. In DevOps, this governance acts as a guardrail, allowing teams to move fast without compromising on quality, security, or compliance. It's about striking the delicate balance betwee...

NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and CTEM – Better Together

NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and CTEM – Better Together

Sep 05, 2024 Threat Detection / Vulnerability Management
It's been a decade since the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) introduced its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 1.0. Created following a 2013 Executive Order, NIST was tasked with designing a voluntary cybersecurity framework that would help organizations manage cyber risk, providing guidance based on established standards and best practices. While this version was originally tailored for Critical infrastructure, 2018's version 1.1 was designed for any organization looking to address cybersecurity risk management.  CSF is a valuable tool for organizations looking to evaluate and enhance their security posture. The framework helps security stakeholders understand and assess their current security measures, organize and prioritize actions to manage risks, and improve communication within and outside organizations using a common language. It's a comprehensive collection of guidelines, best practices, and recommendations, divided into five core functions: Identify, Pr...
Unmasking the Dark Side of Low-Code/No-Code Applications

Unmasking the Dark Side of Low-Code/No-Code Applications

Dec 18, 2023 Technology / Application Security
Low-code/no-code (LCNC) and robotic process automation (RPA) have gained immense popularity, but how secure are they? Is your security team paying enough attention in an era of rapid digital transformation, where business users are empowered to create applications swiftly using platforms like Microsoft PowerApps, UiPath, ServiceNow, Mendix, and OutSystems? The simple truth is often swept under the rug. While low-code/no-code (LCNC) apps and robotic process automations (RPA) drive efficiency and agility, their dark security side demands scrutiny. LCNC application security emerges as a relatively new frontier, and even seasoned security practitioners and security teams grapple with the dynamic nature and sheer volume of citizen-developed applications. The accelerated pace of LCNC development poses a unique challenge for security professionals, underscoring the need for dedicated efforts and solutions to effectively address the security nuances of low-code development environments. Dig...
Governance Considerations for Democratizing Your Organization's Data in 2021

Governance Considerations for Democratizing Your Organization's Data in 2021

Dec 11, 2020
With the continuing rise of IoT devices, mobile networks, and digital channels, companies face a lot of pressure to generate meaningful and actionable insights from the wealth of data they capture. Gartner Research lists data democratization as  one of the top  strategic technology trends to watch out for.  While empowering non-technical users to run ad-hoc reports gives enterprises the ability to get closer to business conditions, it also introduces problems of data governance and privacy compliance. All reports are only as good as the data they're based on, and non-technical users might not be aware of the need for data integrity and security. Even the "experts" at cybersecurity firms have been known to leak files  at alarming rates . Organizations need to implement strong data governance strategies to ensure their data is accurate, reliable and secure, while continuing to provide their employees with the resources they need to realize the full benefits of it. ...
