Speak with networking ops and engineering leads anywhere, and you’ll hear what I frequently hear: “The way my team actually spends their time is the opposite of how they feel they could best spend it.” The passion they have for their team and the network they keep running is clearly at odds with a frustrating feeling that they can’t get ahead.
Recently I wrote about Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and how Snyk’s IaC scanning can help catch issues in your templates before they make it to provisioning. Our engineering team continues to expand the breadth of our IaC scanning policies to better protect your platforms from vulnerabilities and issues.
Whether you’re a developer or a security engineer, Software Composition Analysis—or SCA for short—is a term you will start to hear of more and more. If you haven’t already, that is. The reason for this is simple. Your company is increasingly relying on open source software and containers to develop its applications and by doing so is introducing risk in the form of security vulnerabilities and license violations.
So, you want to build a Java application and run it inside a Docker image? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you knew what best practices to follow when building a Java container with Docker? Let me help you out with this one! In the following cheatsheet, I will provide you with best practices to build a production-grade Java container. In the Java container example, I build using these guidelines, I will focus on creating an optimized secure Java container for your application.
SSH certificates, when deployed properly, improve security. A half-baked access system using certs is more vulnerable than a public-key-based one if a user or host gets hacked.
At Snyk, we strongly believe in empowering developers to take ownership of security. Developers are the builders of today and ultimately hold the keys to successfully securing their code. Only a developer-first approach, one that combines developer-friendly tooling together with guidance by security, can help organizations traverse the path to better-secured applications.
Demand for DevSecOps products has been growing strongly, as more companies realize the importance of integrating security into their DevOps pipelines. However, IT and DevOps pros who dive into the DevSecOps market looking for options quickly realize that the number of DevSecOps tools and frameworks is vast and confusing.
