Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council recently released a new security framework to replace the previous standard (PCI PA-DSS). The new framework is set to better address the changes that the software development industry has seen in the past few years. Agile and DevOps methodologies, cloud and containerized environments and widespread open source usage have become the new normal and with this, present new AppSec challenges. To ensure that users of payment apps remain safe, the new framework aims to lay a substantial value on continuous application security.

Open source software components play an important role by providing us with the building blocks of our products. However, even as we enjoy the benefits of open source components, they are not without their challenges, especially when it comes to security vulnerabilities.
