Secure your software: DevSecOps guide to managing open-source risk

As open-source software (OSS) becomes critical for accelerating software development, it introduces new security, licensing, and workflow challenges. This eBook examines how organizations can manage OSS risks through automated application security processes.

Key topics include:

  • Continuous visibility into OSS components
  • Policies for acceptable OSS usage and vulnerability remediation
  • Automated controls in CI/CD pipelines to enforce OSS security
  • Runtime protection and usage analysis to prioritize vulnerabilities

By adopting these strategies, organizations can leverage OSS benefits without compromising security or development speed. Read the eBook to manage OSS risk in your DevSecOps environment.

  • The Case for Application Detection and Response (ADR)

    The rise of AI has lowered the barrier for attackers, expanding the threat landscape. To address the application security gap, many organizations have integrated Application Detection and Response (ADR) strategies.

    But what exactly is ADR? How can businesses and their security teams benefit?

    This white paper explores ADR and the modern application security landscape, highlighting:

    • Limitations of traditional security measures like web application firewalls and secure software development in protecting modern applications
    • How ADR offers continuous visibility, real-time detection, and automated response to application and API threats
    • Use cases for ADR in protecting, detecting, and responding to vulnerabilities and attacks

    Dig into the white paper to discover how ADR can enhance security, reduce costs, and enable innovation.
