360 degrees of application security with Snyk

Application development is a multistage process. The App goes through various stages, each with its own area of focus. However, application security, a.k.a. AppSec, is constant throughout all the stages. For example, when a developer codes, it’s expected that the code will be secure. Similarly, the artifacts that are worked upon or generated as an end output of the respective stages are all required to be secure.

15 Web Application Security Best Practices

Every day that an application is anything less than ‘fully secure’ is a day for a potential data breach.

Six takeaways from our ASPM masterclass series

Software development moves fast, and many application security teams struggle to keep up. More sophisticated agile, DevOps, and cloud practices, along with the growing use of AI, mean more agility for development teams. However, these innovations are a challenge for security teams, as they must move at this same speed in order to secure applications effectively. Application security posture management (ASPM) directly responds to these emerging challenges.

Security at the Speed of Cloud

Cloud native technologies have empowered engineering teams to innovate rapidly: from releasing a few times a year to several times a day. This means security assessment have to be done continuously. To achieve this, developer, operation, and security teams have to collaborate in novel ways. Instead of communicating through backlogs, they need to work towards shared objectives. From processes to tooling, teams have to rethink the way they approach security, share context, and improve the security posture of their organization.
