Cultivating Developer Adoption

Many organizations are encouraging their developer teams to adopt a security mindset and take more ownership on security issues earlier in the development process. But how can that actually be achieved effectively and what a successful program looks like in practice? In this recording, we’ll discuss some of the program lessons we’ve learnt from many enterprises that are going through this process and investigate different methodologies for implementing DevSecOps and will share what are best practices to follow and common pitfalls to avoid.

Five key takeaways from Outpost24's Cyber Resilience Day

True to its theme ‘Cyber Resilience’, our recent cyber security gathering was able to dissect the fast-moving threat landscape with insights and information nuggets from a panel of security experts and practitioners on the shortcomings and the need for better use of threat intelligence. Here are five takeaways from the Cyber Resilience Day in Breda co-hosted with our customer CM.com and a panel of cybersecurity experts.

Comparing Node.js web frameworks: Which is most secure?

JavaScript is the world’s most popular programming language, providing many web frameworks that help developers build secure, reliable Node.js web applications.
