Companies have transitioned since COVID-19 began from lifting and shifting their existing apps to the cloud to entirely rebuilding their applications in cloud-native form. Palo Alto President BJ Jenkins says companies need "shift left" security to get protection as they're coding and building apps.
APIs, containers, and clouds, oh my! Organizations use modern software development to deliver incredible user experiences and better performance. Just don’t look behind the curtain; behind that curtain, ingress points and opportunities for attackers are proliferating. That’s why securing cloud-native applications...
The $250 million acquisition of Cider Security will allow Palo Alto Networks to secure a piece of code from development to its implementation in a runtime environment. CEO Nikesh Arora says the company must understand the tool sets and open-source widgets coming into the customer's supply chain.

The traditional application development model that puts security checks at the end of the process creates needless friction that slows down organizations, says Snyk solutions engineer Matt Mintzer. Application security specialists need to build tracks rather than guardrails for development, he says.
According to a recent report, 69% of CISOs say the volume of alerts make it difficult to prioritize vulnerabilities. That’s one of the reasons why picking open-source packages to use in your application is a strenuous process. Package ecosystems such as NPM have over a million packages in them, and when you are...
