How to SSH into a Self-driving Vehicle

Over the last couple of years, we’ve started to see computers take to the street, and lucky for us, it’s been mostly to help us get deliveries or transport us around. These robots are a combination of sensors, compute units, and some form of connectivity. They have personalities, and if you look closely, two cute eyes on Postmates’ Serve that provide it with stereo vision to navigate the streets.

Free Go Module Vulnerability Scanning in Visual Studio Code

If you’re a Golang developer using Visual Studio Code, keeping at-risk Go Modules out of your apps just got easier, and for free. Today we’re announcing a new version of the JFrog extension for VS Code, available for free download. This integration brings live vulnerability information about every public Go Module you’re using directly into your source editor from the rich metadata of JFrog GoCenter.

Copy and Paste Code: How to Lose Your Job Using Open Source Code

Have you ever wondered whether it’s ok to copy and paste code from an open source project? If you have, you’re not alone. A quick look around several developer websites shows a number of variations on this age-old question. It is never ok to copy and paste code from an open source project directly into your proprietary code. Don’t do it. Just don’t. Even if you’re on a tight deadline. Even if it’s only one loop.

From Zero to Zero Trust

Blockchain, IOT, Neural Networks, Edge Computing, Zero Trust. I played buzzword bingo at RSA 2020, where the phrase dominated the entire venue. Zero Trust is a conceptual framework for cybersecurity that characterizes the principles required to protect modern organizations with distributed infrastructure, remote workforces, and web connected applications.

Securing Container-Based Applications at the Speed of DevOps

Thanks to containerization and automation, applications are being developed and delivered faster than ever. With tools such as AWS ECR, developers are able to store, manage and deploy Docker container images without having to worry about operating their own container repositories or scaling the underlying infrastructure. With this, however, arise challenges around managing the security and compliance aspect of your container images. With tools such as WhiteSource, developers are able to manage the security of their containers and container images with no impact on agility and speed.

Whose vulnerability is it anyway?

Application security is a top priority today for companies that are developing software. However, it is also becoming more challenging and complex as release frequency continues to rise, more open source components are adopted, and the requirements for data security are getting stricter. Thanks to new DevOps practices and tools, development cycles are getting shorter, allowing organizations to meet market demands and deliver a superior customer experience, but is application security keeping up?

Lessons Learnt By An Agent Of Chaos From DevOps

Is your organization ready to embrace a DevOps mindset? Receive a pragmatic view from an agent of chaos, who’s promoting the goal for a single continuous integration and delivery pipeline, shifting testing, security, code reviews, and other opportunities to improve information sharing and quality to the left, shifting configuration to the right, and most importantly, aiming to delight users with constant value.

The State of Open Source Security Management RSA 2019

It is no secret - open source has become the main building block in modern applications, and it is almost impossible to develop software at today's pace without it. However, as the open source community grows, and the number of reported vulnerabilities keeps climbing, manually verifying the security and compliance of open source components can no longer provide the necessary control over the security of these components.

Panel Open Source Security - Weighing the Pros and Cons

Over the past few years, open source has grown in popularity especially among developers using open source code in their application development efforts. In the security space, however, open source hasn’t been as widely embraced, mostly because of concerns over vulnerabilities. But is open source software really less secure?
