Top Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tools for 2022
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is often used to scan the source, binary, or byte code of an application. As well as identifying the root cause of vulnerabilities, it helps to remediate any underlying security flaws and provides feedback to developers on any coding problems. The major benefit is to have more code created with fewer vulnerabilities.

Since the internet's earliest days, public-facing organizations have established security systems to defend sensitive data from external forces that seek to compromise it. One tried-and-true method is the creation of sub-networks between untrusted WANs and an organization's internal resources, dubbed demilitarized zones (DMZ).
Though DMZ networks still offer a buffer between untrusted users and internal segments, the adoption of cloud services and virtualization means the...

Patch Management: Definition, Process & Best Practices
Maintaining and safeguarding code is an inherent part of the software development lifecycle.
For developers, software programs are a never-ending work in progress. From adding new features, revising code, and resolving vulnerabilities, software publishers release updates or patches to ensure their software applications remain fully functional and secure.

Cloud Security for Virtual Machines & Containers
Cloud computing security, or cloud security, is a set of policies and technologies to protect the services and resources of the cloud computing system. Cloud security is a subdomain of cybersecurity, and includes processes to protect services, applications, data, virtualized IP, and the related infrastructure of cloud computing systems.
Virtualized environments, including virtual machines (VMs) and containers, present unique risks to cloud security. Here, we...
Best Server Security Tools for 2022
Server security tools used to be focused on safeguarding physical servers. Each box required login credentials, and administrative privileges were required to change anything. Software such as antivirus and malware protection were directly installed on each machine.
These days, the physical server is just another endpoint — albeit an important one. There are many ways to protect server resources, including backup, antivirus, patching, intrusion detection,...
Best Server Security Services for 2022
Server security services stop the worst from happening. Hackers who get into a single user's systems may find something worth stealing, but chances are there won't be much to gain.
It's the servers — with their databases, confidential information, and complete enterprise user files — where bad guys cause the most havoc. Gain access to a server, and you can lock all enterprise systems and...
