Introducing AI-guided Remediation for IaC Security / KICS

Introducing AI-guided Remediation for IaC Security / KICS

Jun 19, 2023 DevSecOps / AppSec
While the use of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has gained significant popularity as organizations embrace cloud computing and DevOps practices, the speed and flexibility that IaC provides can also introduce the potential for misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities.  IaC allows organizations to define and manage their infrastructure using machine-readable configuration files, which are typically version-controlled and treated as code. IaC misconfigurations are mistakes, or oversights, in the configuration of infrastructure resources and environments that happen when using IaC tools and frameworks. Discover the power of a comprehensive AppSec platform. Download this new whitepaper to discover how to effortlessly integrate application security into every stage of the software development life cycle. Learn about the role of integration and automation, the 7 requirements for choosing an AppSec platform, and how Checkmarx One™ simplifies security. Misconfigurations in Ia...
GitHub Extends Push Protection to Prevent Accidental Leaks of Keys and Other Secrets

GitHub Extends Push Protection to Prevent Accidental Leaks of Keys and Other Secrets

May 11, 2023
GitHub has announced the general availability of a new security feature called  push protection , which aims to prevent developers from inadvertently leaking keys and other secrets in their code. The Microsoft-owned cloud-based repository hosting platform, which began  testing the feature  a year ago, said it's also extending push protection to all public repositories at no extra cost. The functionality is designed to work hand-in-hand with the existing  secret scanning feature , which scans repositories for known secret formats to prevent their fraudulent use and avert potentially serious consequences. "Push protection prevents secret leaks without compromising the developer experience by scanning for highly identifiable secrets before they are committed," GitHub  said  earlier this week. "When a secret is detected in code, developers are prompted directly in their IDE or command line interface with remediation guidance to ensure that the secret is ...

Integrating Live Patching in SecDevOps Workflows

Integrating Live Patching in SecDevOps Workflows

Sep 06, 2022
SecDevOps is, just like DevOps, a transformational change that organizations undergo at some point during their lifetime. Just like many other big changes, SecDevOps is commonly adopted after a reality check of some kind: a big damaging cybersecurity incident, for example. A major security breach or, say, consistent problems in achieving development goals signals to organizations that the existing development framework doesn't work and that something new is needed. But what exactly is SecDevOps, why should you embrace it – and how can you do it more easily in practice? The fundamentals of SecDevOps By itself, SecDevOps is not just one single improvement. You may see it as a new tool, or set of tools, or perhaps a different mindset. Some might see SecDevOps as a culture. In reality, it's all of those factors wrapped into a new approach to development that's intended to put security first. SecDevOps rely on highly reproducible scenarios, touching on topics such as system...
