The 2023 Open Source Year in Review

As the popularity of cloud-native applications continues to surge, containers are becoming the preferred option to package and deploy these applications because of the agility and scalability they deliver. According to Gartner, “by 2022, more than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production.”

The popularity of containers has also attracted the attention of hackers who are constantly looking for new ways to exploit them. Containers expand an organization’s attack surface and increase the risk to the applications they house. A comprehensive approach for container security is required to mitigate the risk to containerized applications and infrastructure.

In this webinar, we’ll outline the essential elements required to secure your container environments, including:
• Understanding what containers are (and aren’t)
• How to look at container security holistically
• The top threats to container landscapes
• Relevant case studies

Container Security Essentials

With the cost of cyberattacks predicted to cost $10.5 trillion by 2025, the European Commission is looking to transform the cybersecurity landscape through the Cyber Resilience Act. The goal of the CRA is to “bolster cybersecurity rules to ensure more secure hardware and software products.” But what does that mean for those of us already involved in AppSec?

Join our experts as they discuss how AppSec professionals may be impacted by CRA as it exists today. Specifically, we’ll explore: 
- Which products may be subject to the CRA based on the definition of “digital elements”
- What impacts this could have on software supply chain moving forward
- How you can assess your AppSec programs to see where you stand with CRA as defined today

The CRA is currently a draft, as such opinions and insights from presenters are subject to change.

What the EU Cyber Resilience Act Means for AppSec

Open source software continues to prove its staying power. It serves as the foundation for the modern applications that we depend on to run. 

Along with the significant scale of open source usage comes a decreased ability to effectively manage the associated risk. In fact, 96% of codebases we audited in 2022 contain open source, and 84% contain security vulnerabilities.  

So how can you adapt to the current scale of open source usage to mitigate software supply chain risk and secure your applications? 

Join our live webinar as we explore the findings of our 2023 “Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” report, and see what they mean to teams like yours. We’ll cover

• How our research reflects the current application development landscape 
• Open source risk including security threats 
• What leads to the build-up of risky dependencies 
• Why you need an accurate inventory of open source components 
• The core tenets of open source risk management programs

The 2023 Guide to Open Source

DevSecOps and cloud services are driving container adoption in software. As container architectures get complex, they're increasingly exploited. This talk aims to clarify containerization and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) for beginners. We'll cover container technologies, key terms, their value, popularity, challenges, and security issues. We'll discuss common threats, vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and provide real-world attack examples. We'll reference standards and resources like OWASP Docker Top 10, Container Security Verification Standard, NIST Application Container Security guide, and CIS Benchmarks. Finally, we'll provide guidelines and best practices for securing containers.

Finding Your Way in Container Security

There is no shortage of buzz around generative artificial intelligence (GAI). GAI can be used in software development to generate and augment code which saves times and reduces development cycles. But using AI in software development comes with its own set of risks.

Join this live Synopsys webinar to get an introduction to GAI and how you can minimize risk when using it in your organization. We’ll cover:

• The top three questions the Board and C-Suite should be asking about GAI
• How to navigate the existing and evolving legal and regulatory landscape

AI Strategy, Security, and Governance: The View from the Top

Just over a year ago, OWASP refreshed its list of the top 10 vulnerabilities. Broken access controls moved up four spots to top the list, and it is followed by cryptographic failures, and injection. Three new vulnerabilities made their debut in the new list.
In this webinar, we will discuss the findings of the 2023 “Software Vulnerability Snapshot” report and see vulnerability trends from the past three years. We will also compare vulnerabilities discovered to the OWASP Top 10 list. Additionally, we will cover
• Vulnerability trends, especially critical- and high-severity vulnerabilities
• Danger from third-party software libraries
• Best practices employed by leading software security programs to manage AppSec risk

Securing the Future: Emerging Trends in Application Security

This year’s DevSecOps Report defines a vivid image of organizations’ journey to secure their software development pipelines, with intriguing conclusions about challenges, success factors, and risk exposure across industries and maturities. Integrating security controls across the development lifecycle and CI pipelines establishes mechanisms for rapid risk detection, accelerated remediation, and automated security gates. But aligning development, AppSec, and DevOps teams to realize a vision for secure DevOps requires a clear strategy. 

Join us as we examine the key findings from the Synopsys 2023 DevSecOps Survey and discuss: 

• The state of DevSecOps across roles and technologies
• What a maturing DevSecOps program looks like and which tools and practices foster growth
• Recommendations for how to integrate application security without impeding DevOps

DevSecOps in the Wild: Examining Global Security Factors in 2023

If software is an important part of your business and you need to comply with license terms and protect against security vulnerabilities, you need to know and track what is inside your software. Lists of software components and dependencies are typically referred to as Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs).

Standardizing the format for SBOMs can improve the accuracy and efficiency for managing software license compliance and security vulnerabilities – especially if your software is the result of a long list of suppliers (e.g., a commercial product which depends on a commercial library which uses an open-source library which includes source from a different open-source project).

With the May 12, 2021 U.S. Presidential Executive Order on Improving the Nations Cyber Security, several software suppliers are being required to produce their SBOMs in a standard format.

SPDX is a standard format for SBOMs.  Although it has been around for more than 10 years, it has gone through some significant evolution such representing data on security vulnerabilities. There is a forthcoming major release which supports several new use cases such as tracking the build process and tracking data about artificial intelligence models.

In this talk, we will start with how you can use the widely adopted SPDX 2.3 spec to represent security vulnerability and license compliance data and then go into some of the new features of the SPDX 3.0 specification.  We will touch on what goes into making a quality SBOM.

At the conclusion of the talk, you will have a better understanding how you can make use of SPDX whether you are producing software or evaluating software you use (or plan to use).

SBOMs and SPDX: Now and in the Future

The proliferation of software across every industry poses significant challenges for teams that must both keep up with the fast pace of innovation and ensure that the software they build is secure. This has led to security tool sprawl, unnecessary complexity, increased operational costs and in many cases, a decreased ability to quickly assess risk. As a result, many organizations are looking to consolidate the number of security tools and vendors they manage to improve resource efficiency and overall risk posture.
 
In this webinar, we will discuss the key things necessary to capitalize on consolidation initiatives beyond a simple reduction of tools, and provide a roadmap for how organizations can realize these benefits rapidly.

Reduce Complexity & Improve TCO with AST Vendor Consolidation

Malicious code has been making headlines over the past years. The type of attacks may vary, but the consequences are real. We’ve seen a spate of malicious open source components identified within the NPM repository, or an ethical hacker gaining access to the systems of several notable tech companies using publicly hosted packages. 

Today, threat actors are looking beyond exploiting weaknesses in the application layer. Now they have started taking advantage of the inherent trust associated with open source software. Inadvertently building code with these weaknesses into applications leaves businesses and their customers prime targets of supply chain attacks.  

Join us as we discuss

• What can be classified as malicious code or malware 
• Some of the techniques that attackers use to inject malicious code into the supply chain 
• Methods for identifying malicious code and open source components

How Does Malicious Code Enter Applications?

Most software due diligence playbooks involve peer-to-peer discussions about products, processes, and people. That’s all extremely important as investors often bet on future development. But mitigating software risk in M&A requires not only evaluating the state of the target’s processes and organization, but also understanding the dimensions of technical debt that may lurk in the code.
 
Join this Synopsys webinar to learn how your software due diligence process can uncover technical debt and reduce post-close headaches. We’ll cover best practices for evaluating: 
 
• The organization and processes 
• Quality of the architecture and code
• Application security risks
• Open source/third-party software

Software Due Diligence: Mitigating Multiple Dimensions of Risk

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) helps you decide which vulnerabilities you should be most concerned about. This isn’t to say that the CVSS will make prioritization decisions for you, but it will give you one piece of information you need to make informed decisions that are best for your organization.

In this session, you'll gain:
• An understanding of CVSS, its metrics, and scoring process
• Insight into CVSS's history and role in vulnerability management
• A walkthrough of scoring a vulnerability's severity
• Knowledge of how CVSS is used in vulnerability management

Vulnerability Scoring 101

Companies adopt many application security testing (AST) tools to pinpoint where critical fixes are needed and avoid costly postproduction software issues. Yet despite a lot of AppSec investment, they still fail to get an accurate view of risk, and struggle integrate testing, triage, and remediation within developer workflows. This has driven the evolution of application security posture management (ASPM). 

In this session, we’ll dive into 
- What is ASPM, and capabilities that a comprehensive solution should have
- Best practices on using ASPM to accelerate AppSec transformation and consolidate data, workflows, and visibility
- How ASPM can help your development and security teams mitigate software risk at scale

What is Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)?

Companies and individuals alike are concerned about their software supply chain security. To be honest, who isn't?

Threat actors are looking for new ways to exploit software weaknesses. Beyond the application layer. They are taking advantage of the inherent trust associated with open-source software. And we all know OS software is only as secure as its weakest link.

In this session, security expert Boris Cipot will discuss:
- How to use AI generated code without opening yourself up to IP violations
- The increase in malicious software and how to avoid being another statistic
- How to satisfy all supply chain motivations, whether they're customer requirements or industry regulations

Join Boris to learn about software supply chain risks. And what you can do to prevent them.
