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.

Critically close to zero(day): Exploiting Microsoft Kernel streaming service

10 min read - Last month Microsoft patched a vulnerability in the Microsoft Kernel Streaming Server, a Windows kernel component used in the virtualization and sharing of camera devices. The vulnerability, CVE-2023-36802, allows a local attacker to escalate privileges to SYSTEM. This blog post details my process of exploring a new attack surface in the Windows kernel, finding a 0-day vulnerability, exploring an interesting bug class, and building a stable exploit. This post doesn’t require any specialized Windows kernel knowledge to follow along, though…

Gozi strikes again, targeting banks, cryptocurrency and more

3 min read - In the world of cybercrime, malware plays a prominent role. One such malware, Gozi, emerged in 2006 as Gozi CRM, also known as CRM or Papras. Initially offered as a crime-as-a-service (CaaS) platform called 76Service, Gozi quickly gained notoriety for its advanced capabilities. Over time, Gozi underwent a significant transformation and became associated with other malware strains, such as Ursnif (Snifula) and Vawtrak/Neverquest. Now, in a recent campaign, Gozi has set its sights on banks, financial services and cryptocurrency platforms,…

Vulnerability management, its impact and threat modeling methodologies

7 min read - Vulnerability management is a security practice designed to avoid events that could potentially harm an organization. It is a regular ongoing process that identifies, assesses, and manages vulnerabilities across all the components of an IT ecosystem. Cybersecurity is one of the major priorities many organizations struggle to stay on top of. There is a huge increase in the number of cyberattacks carried out by cybercriminals to steal valuable information from businesses. Hence to encounter these attacks, organizations are now focusing…

X-Force releases detection & response framework for managed file transfer software

5 min read - How AI can help defenders scale detection guidance for enterprise software tools If we look back at mass exploitation events that shook the security industry like Log4j, Atlassian, and Microsoft Exchange when these solutions were actively being exploited by attackers, the exploits may have been associated with a different CVE, but the detection and response guidance being released by the various security vendors had many similarities (e.g., Log4shell vs. Log4j2 vs. MOVEit vs. Spring4Shell vs. Microsoft Exchange vs. ProxyShell vs.…
