Software development organizations are investing more and more resources in their vulnerability management programs. According to Gartner’s forecast, in 2021 enterprise security spending was expected to break records and grow 12.4% to reach 150.4 billion.

In January of 2021, CodeCov suffered a supply chain attack that exposed client environment variables. In the following months, the specifics of the breach and its technical applications have been thoroughly examined by the application security community to determine what went wrong and how to combat similar attacks in the future. But another interesting outcome of the breach were the insights into a slightly less glamorous topic: responsible disclosure.

In our last blog post How to Pass a FedRAMP Audit for SaaS Providers: Part 1 , we looked at what FedRAMP is and why it matters for SaaS providers. We also discussed a success story with one publicly traded Teleport SaaS customer who used Teleport to pass their FedRAMP audit.
There were several security assessments and compliance frameworks in Kubescape before we released ARMOBest – NSA-CISA and MITRE. Naturally, people ask, why another one? Especially, if it’s not coming from a well-known source that some people may be required to comply with. Some frameworks, like MITRE, are designed bottom-up, mainly focusing on the infrastructure. Others, like NSA-CISA, are designed top-down, paying more attention to the application side.
