Enterprise software applications are sophisticated, incorporating various technologies and featuring complex integrations with third-party software applications and systems. Any security vulnerability in software components can bring severe consequences to the organization. That’s why it is critical to effectively manage application vulnerabilities. This article explores application vulnerability management, discussing its importance and best practices.

Patch management is the centralized control and automation of the patch deployment process — deploying patches — to multiple devices, operating systems, firmware, software and hardware endpoints in the IT network. But vulnerabilities are increasing at unseen rates. Over 65,000 new vulnerabilities in existing IT systems were discovered in 2022, which is a 21% increase from 2021. And that makes patch management all the more important.

We are excited to announce that Snyk Learn, our developer-first cybersecurity education platform, is now aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Framework.

Modern applications are built, deployed and, run in increasingly complex and dynamic environments. Assessing and prioritizing the security issues introduced by these applications without taking this context into account inevitably leads to focusing remediation efforts on the wrong set of issues. This not only results in real risk slipping under the radar but also wastes the valuable time of developers, increasing their frustration and eroding their trust in security.

As we approach the second half of 2023, both security and development teams are seeing seismic shifts in the application security world. DevOps practices continue to evolve, meaning that developers are introducing code more and more rapidly, andwith the help of AI, developers of all kinds are able to create code faster than ever. Plus, apps aren’t just made up of first-party code and third-party dependencies anymore.

In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, staying ahead of potential threats is crucial. Attack Surface Intelligence (ASI) is vital in identifying vulnerabilities and mitigating risks. This blog post will discuss the latest data updates in ASI and the exciting developments within our threat research group.

As part of our ongoing commitment to providing a seamless co-editing experience to Egnyte users, we have introduced new enhancements that enable Windows and Mac users to open any Microsoft Office-supported file such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and start or join a co-editing session directly from the Microsoft Office App. Users can also co-edit in real time using the Egnyte Desktop, Online or Mobile versions.
