Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

As software development accelerates, cyberattacks are also growing more sophisticated. The result? Traditional security methods are often rendered ineffective. With reactive strategies and stretched resources, application security (AppSec) teams are under increasing pressure to secure apps without sacrificing speed and innovation. Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become the frontrunner solution, automating labor-intensive tasks, improving accuracy, and enabling proactive security measures.

‍ On March 14th 2025, we detected a malicious package on npm called node-facebook-messenger-api. At first, it seemed to be pretty run-of-the-mill malware, though we couldn’t tell what the end-goal was.

Containerization, a form of lightweight virtualization, lets applications inhabit their own self-contained environments. Each container packages everything an application needs to run – code, runtime, libraries – keeping it neatly separated from everything else. This isolation is a big deal because it means a problem in one container won’t bring down the whole environment.
