Setting Up an Effective Vulnerability Management Policy

Considering the continuous increase in cybersecurity attacks targeting large organizations over the past few years and regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-731 – to name a few – it’s no surprise that enterprise investment in vulnerability management is on the rise. Detecting, prioritizing, and remediating security vulnerabilities in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape is no small feat.

Dangers of Only Scanning First-Party Code

When it comes to securing your applications, it’s not unusual to only consider the risks from your first-party code. But if you’re solely considering your own code, then your attack surface is likely bigger than you think. Our recent State of Software Security report found that 97 percent of the typical Java application is made up of open source libraries. That means your attack surface is exponentially larger than just the code written in-house.

SrClient DLL Hijacking: a Windows Server 2012 0-day that won't be patched

I recently discovered that all versions of Windows Server 2012 (but not Server 2012 R2) are affected by a DLL hijacking vulnerability that can be exploited for privilege escalation. Moreover, the flaw can be triggered by a regular user and does not require a system reboot. Sounds like a pretty big deal, right? Well, not according to Microsoft, unfortunately.
