In an advisory issued April 21, Rémy Marot, staff research engineer at Tenable, wrote that “by exploiting this … Read more
For years, security testing has been something that happens after the code is written — sometimes long after. Developers push changes, SAST tools scan for known patterns, and security teams work through backlogs that never seem to shrink. It’s a reactive model, and attackers have gotten very good at exploiting the gaps it leaves open. … Read more
According to Sonatype, modern applications are composed of up to 90% open source components. This reliance has significantly accelerated development by allowing teams to reuse existing libraries and modules instead of building functionality from scratch. Code repositories serve as the primary mechanism for distributing and maintaining open source software, whether developed by independent communities or backed … Read more
Introduction Air-gapped environments are common in regulated industries (defense, banking, pharma) where clusters and CI/CD systems cannot talk directly to the public internet. The challenge is to keep development velocity without sacrificing security: builds must run, images must be scanned and signed, and artifacts must be available inside the offline environment — all while keeping … Read more
