10 Application Security Vulnerabilities and Defensive Strategies

Application security is a critical aspect of maintaining trust and integrity in your software. With an increasing number of cyberattacks targeting vulnerabilities in applications, it is essential to understand the common risks and take defensive measures to safeguard systems. Below are 10 prevalent application security vulnerabilities, along with real-world examples and effective defensive strategies.

Proactive Protection with Exposure Management #shorts

Exposure management evolves from vulnerability management by focusing on eliminating cyber exposures to improve security. It emphasizes the need for visibility of all cyber assets, including applications and devices, as protection is impossible without it. This approach prioritizes remediation based on real-world risks and includes a validation step to assess potential exploitation, helping organizations focus on critical exposures and develop effective strategies for visibility.

3 Key Benefits of Integrating DevOps with Security Standards

Bringing DevOps and security standards together is no longer a nice-to-have; it's essential for building resilient, efficient workflows. When you weave security directly into every stage of the development cycle, you're improving collaboration and speeding up delivery. This integration helps overcome traditional barriers between teams while addressing compliance requirements with ease. Whether it's catching vulnerabilities early or maintaining trust through secure practices, this powerful combination delivers benefits at every level.

Security vulnerability uncovered and patched in the golang.org/x/crypto /ssh package

Platform.sh teams are always striving to ensure a safe space for all developers within our product. And this consistent diligence led to the Platform.sh Engineering team discovering a security vulnerability in the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package on 5 September 2024. Upon investigating an unexpected Panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference message in our edge proxy, the engineers discovered a misimplementation of the PublicKeyCallback function.

What is vulnerability management?

Today, computers are more sophisticated, interconnected and complex than ever. This means they’re more capable than ever – but it also comes with a downside: that their attack surface is larger than ever, leading to an elevated risk of cyber incidents. Therefore, your approach to managing vulnerabilities needs to be holistic and prepare for all the ways in which vulnerabilities could cause damage to users, systems or your organization’s operations and reputation.

Monitoring Security Vulnerabilities in Your Cloud Vendors

If you manage applications running on cloud platforms, you likely depend on multiple cloud vendors and services. These could be infrastructure providers like AWS, GCP or Azure. A vulnerability in any of these services could potentially impact your applications and your users. A cloud platform has many moving parts, many of which are dependent on other third-party providers.

5 Cybersecurity Tips for Managing Blockchain in Cloud Environments

Blockchain is reshaping industries by offering transparent and secure transaction processes. When paired with cloud environments, it unlocks even greater scalability. But this combination introduces risks. Without strong cybersecurity practices, sensitive data becomes vulnerable. Attacks on blockchain-based systems are rising, targeting loopholes in poorly managed setups. How can you protect your blockchain infrastructure in the cloud? Here are a few lynchpin strategies to implement for this purpose.
