Happy March! Happy to share the latest edition of my newsletter now available on Securely Built's Substack (link in comments). 📰 In this edition, I'll cover the complexities and evolving nature of AppSec, exploring its crucial role within the broader spectrum of product security. I'll delve into the essence of AppSec, the balance between risk and business needs, and the methodologies of Secure SDLC and DevSecOps. You'll get some insights into the tools and practices that define a robust AppSec program, showcasing the importance of a defense-in-depth approach. 🔍 A Notable Highlight: We reflect on the 23andMe data breach of late 2023, dissecting the lessons learned and the importance of multi-factor authentication (MFA) in safeguarding sensitive data. This incident underscores the critical need for comprehensive security measures in today's interconnected products. If you find value in these discussions, I encourage you to subscribe and share this newsletter with your network. Together, let's deepen our understanding and commitment to application and product security. #applicationsecurity #productsecurity #devsecops #cybersecurity #infosec #defenseindepth

I recently had the great opportunity to join the IT Audit Labs podcast for a compelling discussion. Alongside Nick Mellem, Joshua Schmidt, and Bill Harris, CISSP, we had an in-depth conversation about building secure and reliable software. We covered a range of important topics, including the most pressing security threats developers are grappling with right now. We also shared practical, real-world insights on how companies can better secure their software development lifecycle (SDLC) from start to finish. During the discussion, I was excited to highlight how DevSecFlow is playing a key role in addressing these challenges. Specifically, we explored how our offerings help bridge the gap between development teams and governance frameworks, enabling organizations to create software that is not only innovative but also secure and compliant with the latest regulations and best practices. I encourage you to check out the episode, especially if you’re looking to strengthen your approach to software security. Whether you’re a developer, security professional, or IT decision-maker, there’s something valuable for everyone in this conversation.

Proud to see DevSecFlow CEO, Francis Ofungwu, sharing his expertise on "The Audit" podcast by IT Audit Labs I couldn't agree more with Francis's insights on the critical importance of software security in today's digital landscape. Some key personal takeaways: 1. The need to bridge the gap between infrastructure and software security teams - something we're passionate about at DevSecFlow. 2. The potential (and limitations) of AI in secure coding practices - something we are considering as we build our own technologies. 3. The challenges posed by microservices architecture and identity management - issues we're actively addressing for our clients. 4. The importance of building resilience against future cyber attacks - a core principle in our approach to software security. It's exciting to see these crucial topics getting the attention they deserve. As we continue to evolve our strategies at DevSecFlow, discussions like these are invaluable. What are your thoughts on the future of software security? #SoftwareSecurity #DevSecOps #CyberSecurity #AIinTech #CloudSecurity #LeadershipInsights #StartupLife

9 Ways to Prevent a Supply Chain Attack on Your CI/CD Server by JetBrains According to “The State of Software Supply Chain Security 2023” special report, enterprises have seen an exponential increase in supply chain attacks since 2020. A CI/CD server has access to source code, which is one of the most valuable assets any software company owns. The server produces build artifacts and can even deploy code to production environments, posing serious risks if not properly secured. Exploiting just one weakness can give an attacker access to the supply chain and, therefore, sensitive data, allowing them to inject malware and take control of the systems – something that has been occurring with increasing frequency. A Forrester study states that 57% of organizations have suffered from a security incident related to exposures in the DevOps toolchain This paper will explain you how to: 1. Keep your CI/CD server up to date 2. Keep your credentials secure 3. Establish efficient Identity and Access Management 4. Secure your on-premises CI/CD server 5. Keep track of your version control settings 6. Keep an eye on build agent configurations 7. Make sure to configure all integrations securely 8. Apply strict security practices to artifact storage 9. Make sure to store your build history and logs #PurpleHackademy #cybersecurity #supplychain #devsecops #guide

Supply chain attacks are on the rise, targeting vulnerabilities in third-party software. High-profile cases like MOVEit Transfer, Apache Log4J, and Polyfill highlight the growing risks. As businesses rely more on third-party software, their attack surfaces expand, exposing them to hidden threats. In the article by CyCognito's Emma Zaballos, she dives into the hidden dangers within software supply chains and how businesses can better protect themselves.
