Preventing server-side request forgery in Node.js applications

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a common vulnerability that can crop up unknowingly in any Node.js application. It poses a significant threat because attackers can manipulate a server into making unintended requests to both internal and external resources. This article will explore SSRF, its potential risks, and the strategies to mitigate SSRF in Node.js applications.

Cross-site scripting attacks in action and how to protect against them

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks pose a significant security threat by infiltrating an application’s input fields with malicious code snippets. When users access the affected pages, this code is executed in their browsers, putting their sensitive information at risk. The malicious content injected into the web browser can take various forms, including JavaScript, HTML, Flash, or any other executable code.

Bleeding Credit Unions Dry: The Story of Sloppy and Broken Operations

How vulnerable are credit unions, the bedrock of community finance, to rapidly advancing cyber threats? Very. Join CISO Global's Chris Clements, Tigran Safari, James Montagne, and special guest Iwona Karpeta as they discuss recent attacks against credit unions, how they responded, and how their customers were impacted. Speakers: Chris Clements is the VP of Solutions Architecture for CISO Global. Chris has spent more than two decades working in the information security field and has a wide range of experience, including business management, sales, product, and service delivery.

Mitigate vulnerabilities from third-party libraries with Datadog Software Composition Analysis

Mitigating application vulnerabilities throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC) is critical—and challenging, especially as applications rely more and more on third-party, open source software (OSS). With this type of architecture, teams often don’t know exactly where vulnerabilities exist in their code, which of those vulnerabilities are actively exposed in production services, and which vulnerabilities are more critical to address than others.

Snyk & ServiceNow

Did you know that up to 90 percent of modern software uses open source software? Often SecOps, AppSec and IT teams don’t have a complete view of their application security risk across the organization. The Snyk and ServiceNow integration efficiently finds, prioritizes, and tracks vulnerabilities in open source dependencies to get a complete view of your application security posture and drive smarter, faster fixes in ServiceNow workflows.

Beyond the noise: runtime-based vulnerability management for effective threat control

In an ideal world, patching every vulnerability before attackers discover them would be a breeze. The reality of the evolving cloud-native landscape, with its ever-changing mix of cloud, DevOps, mobile, and critical infrastructure, paints a different picture. New risks emerge constantly, leaving traditional vulnerability management approaches struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, Security and DevOps teams face ongoing pressure to protect their organizations from vulnerabilities.
