What came first: security built into your software development lifecycle or security built into the design and implementation of your code?
When we talk about application security, there are two distinct camps emerging — lifecycle security maturity and product security maturity.

Welcome to application security. Once you get started, you can’t help but see the problems with software all around you.
So how do you avoid the pit of despair, burnout, and overwhelm?

If there’s one thing about cyber security marketing that irritates me, it’s the value claims.
I’m thinking of the measures that vendors place on products that are meant to validate the effectiveness or worth of this particular magic box. Whether it’s “stops 93% of vulnerabilities” or “reduces cyber attacks by 75%”, these numbers don’t help in any meaningful way.
Software development friends: we need to talk. Our definition of high-quality software is broken, and it has been for a while. Most likely you knew this already, but we’ve all been busy and who has the time to make things more complex?

There’s a well-accepted truth in application security: the earlier in the software development process you consider cyber security, the more influence you can have on addressing any issues found. I believe the same to be true for when we give our engineering teams access to secure development education.

It can be a shock to realize that many businesses will lose time and money to fraud at some point. Especially when many companies don’t give fraud prevention much thought at all — perhaps until it’s too late.
Continue reading Cyber security awareness: Is your business taking fraud prevention seriously?
“To protect each one of us, we must protect all of us.”
The sentiment behind these words has always existed at SafeStack. We really do believe that when it comes to cyber security, we’re all in it together — and that with the right education and support, we can all play our part in staying safer online.
