Nucleus Security's Year-End Panel on Risk-Based Vulnerability Management

In this Nucleus webinar, our panel of cybersecurity experts delves into the complexities and best practices for Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) in modern organizations. Led by co-founder Scott Kuffer, the discussion covers the evolution of RBVM, the importance of a unified data approach, the role of automated tools, and effective metrics for vulnerability management. Insights from Cecil Pineda, Gregg Martin, and Steve Carter provide a comprehensive look at strategies for mitigating risks and improving security posture through enhanced vulnerability management processes into 2025.

Emerging Threat: Apache Struts CVE-2024-53677

CVE-2024-53677 is a critical (9.5) remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Apache Struts, an open-source framework for building Java-based web apps. This vulnerability affects the framework’s file upload logic, allowing attackers to enable paths traversal and perform remote code execution using malicious files.

Making CIS Benchmarks Part of your Vulnerability Management Strategy

While vulnerability management is one of the few preventative practices in security, vulnerability patching is still a reactive process. It’s a continuous cycle of discovery, vendors releasing patches, and remediation teams applying those patches. What if there was a way to build in some proactivity to this endless reactive spiral?

CVE-2024-53677: Exploitation Attempts of Critical Apache Struts RCE Vulnerability Following PoC Release

4 tips for securing GenAI-assisted development

Gartner predicts that generative AI (GenAI) will become a critical workforce partner for 90% of companies by next year. In application development specifically, we see developers turning to code assistants like Github Copilot and Google Gemini Code Assist to help them build software at an unprecedented speed. But while GenAI can power new levels of productivity and speed, it also introduces new threats and challenges for application security teams.

Did you make the *security* naughty or nice list this year?

As we approach the end of the year, many of us are reflecting on what we accomplished in 2024 — what did we do well this year? What could we have done better? It's also the perfect time to reflect on how to improve your team’s security practices. Have you been staying ahead of threats or have you let a few vulnerabilities slip through the cracks?
