Today, Snyk is launching a powerful enhancement to our API discovery capabilities through a strategic partnership with Akamai. This integration is designed to solve one of the most significant challenges in modern application security: the difficulty of providing API schemas for DAST scanning. By directly ingesting API inventories and their corresponding schemas from Akamai, we are transforming a difficult manual process into a seamless, automated workflow within the Snyk platform.

On August 5, 2025, Trend Micro released a short-term mitigation tool addressing two critical command injection vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-54948 and CVE-2025-54987) in Apex One. These flaws affect the on-premise Apex One Management Console and have been exploited in the wild. Both stem from a command injection issue that allows unauthenticated, remote threat actors to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. While the vulnerabilities are similar, they differ based on the targeted CPU architectures.

Tech companies love a good framework, especially ones that promise structure, transparency, and alignment with internal standards. Zoom’s Vulnerability Impact Scoring System (VISS) is one of those. It’s designed to translate internal security policies into a scoring model that supports impact-based decision making, particularly for bug bounty programs and external disclosure workflows. On paper, that sounds useful. But in practice, it doesn’t scale.

When we talk about healthcare today, it’s impossible not to consider application security. As healthcare providers increasingly lean on digital solutions to deliver patient care, they are creating an explosion of healthcare data requiring protection to ensure its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

As the Chief Information Security Officer at Snyk, my primary role is to ensure the security and integrity of our products, our systems, and our customers' data. But my responsibility extends beyond our walls. It involves championing a vision for a more secure digital world—a vision I am proud to say we share with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

The recent revelation of a critical vulnerability in Base44, a prominent vibe coding platform, has spotlighted the intricate relationship between innovation and security in AI-assisted development. Researchers at Wiz uncovered a flaw in the platform that allowed unauthorized access to private enterprise applications, exposing sensitive data and raising urgent questions about the security of vibe coding practices.

In this article Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) face the daunting task of balancing technical cybersecurity risks with the financial realities of their organization. One critical component in this balancing act is the use of vulnerability scoring systems, in particular, the CVSS score. This article provides a detailed guide on how to translate CVSS scores into tangible financial impact estimates using proven methods of risk quantification.
