Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Executive leadership teams aren’t the only ones keenly aware that a merger or acquisition marks a vulnerable period. Attackers understand that times of change open fresh opportunities—not just to exploit transitional challenges in ERP systems or payroll but to actively capitalise on new financial realities – from manipulating stock prices via reputation damage to zeroing in on a target’s hypothetically more lucrative ransomware payout.

DevSecOps isn’t just a buzzword in 2025 – it’s how modern teams build software without leaving security behind. About 61% of DevOps teams have now adopted DevSecOps practices, meaning automated security checks are embedded throughout development. And for good reason: cyber threats are evolving, from surging open-source supply chain attacks (over 10,000 malicious packages were found in one quarter) to misconfigurations that attackers exploit in cloud infrastructure.

Containers have become the backbone of modern DevOps, but they also introduce new security headaches. A single vulnerable base image or misconfigured container can snowball into a major breach across dozens of services. In fact, recent research found that about 75% of container images carry high-severity or critical vulnerabilities. Add to this the 2025 trends of supply chain attacks and ever-evolving CVEs, and it’s clear that container scanning tools are a must-have.
