Tame Your Application Frontier with IBM Application Security Open Source Analyzer

Your management of modern-day application security vulnerabilities can be compared to a sheriff enforcing law in a frontier town in the American West. In the blink of an eye, new application security risks can roll into town, with high potential risk to your organization and little predictability. In addition, modern technology makes it more challenging to differentiate between the “good cowboys” in white hats from the “bad cowboys” in black hats.

With 57% of organizations deploying open-source software in their production environments, there needs to be a new sheriff in town: You.

Armed with IBM Application Security Open Source Analyzer, you can wrangle the maverick code contained in your organization’s open source components by automating security testing and configuring your scanning activity. As such, Open Source Analyzer permits you to gain control and visibility over your open source risk by continuously identifying vulnerable open source components in your software.

Open Source Analyzer is a key component of IBM’s Application Security on Cloud solution. Application Security on Cloud also enables you to conveniently and efficiently perform Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and mobile application security testing for iOS and Android applications, all in the Cloud.

Learn more about the critical importance of open-source application security testing and register for a complimentary trial to test-drive IBM Application Security on Cloud today.

PixPirate: The Brazilian financial malware you can’t see

10 min read - Malicious software always aims to stay hidden, making itself invisible so the victims can’t detect it. The constantly mutating PixPirate malware has taken that strategy to a new extreme. PixPirate is a sophisticated financial remote access trojan (RAT) malware that heavily utilizes anti-research techniques. This malware’s infection vector is based on two malicious apps: a downloader and a droppee. Operating together, these two apps communicate with each other to execute the fraud. So far, IBM Trusteer researchers have observed this…

From federation to fabric: IAM’s evolution

15 min read - In the modern day, we’ve come to expect that our various applications can share our identity information with one another. Most of our core systems federate seamlessly and bi-directionally. This means that you can quite easily register and log in to a given service with the user account from another service or even invert that process (technically possible, not always advisable). But what is the next step in our evolution towards greater interoperability between our applications, services and systems?Identity and…

Audio-jacking: Using generative AI to distort live audio transactions

7 min read - The rise of generative AI, including text-to-image, text-to-speech and large language models (LLMs), has significantly changed our work and personal lives. While these advancements offer many benefits, they have also presented new challenges and risks. Specifically, there has been an increase in threat actors who attempt to exploit large language models to create phishing emails and use generative AI, like fake voices, to scam people. We recently published research showcasing how adversaries could hypnotize LLMs to serve nefarious purposes simply…
