Re-inventing Cyber-Strategy for Startups

The first incarnation of software composition analysis (SCA) technologies came in 2002 when dependencies were a relatively minor issue in software development. Much has changed in 20 years, and modern applications are made up of 90% third-party code. Today, dependencies exist across all phases of the SDLC, not just in application code. Furthermore, the increasing number of dependencies in each application combined with much faster release cycles has led to many more vulnerabilities to fix with far less time for mitigation. Yet, traditional SCA technologies remain focused solely on dependencies in application code and fail to deliver the agility or speed that modern security teams need to prioritize and fix emerging threats.

In the modern world of flexible and remote working, it is useful for software engineers to be able to access and update source code from anywhere using any device, but the SolarWinds supply chain attack showed that it is essential to track every change for security and compliance reasons.

Enterprise attack surfaces are expanding, and the complexity of the cloud makes it not only an ideal playground for cyber criminals, but more vulnerable to internal threats, from misconfiguration to theft, damage, and data loss.

Protection of critical infrastructure, networks, and resources is a challenge we all face. Join us as we explore the latest emerging cyber threats and the strategies, best practices, and technological tools that entities are using to meet the challenge.
