Snyk will be taking over the VR Sandbox at #RSAC next week! Join us for a variety of activities, including the exclusive launch event of our next game-changing #developersecurity offering. We can't wait to reveal it, but you can already guess #runtime will be significant there! Come meet with us at #RSAC to learn more about #developersecurity, #runtime, #devfirstaspm, #aiguardrails, #softwaresupplychain, and other related topics, and gain access to these exclusive VIP events. DM us for details!

Crazy 0-day alert!! The better-together story of Snyk and Helios (part of Snyk) has already proven itself! cc Rory McNamara, Raul Onitza-Klugman, Ran Nozik, Lindsay Jack, Myke Lyons

Organizations are increasingly turning to eBPF as a powerful tool for enhancing system performance and #security. 🐝 eBPF programs, written in a restricted subset of C programming language, enable applications to access low-level operations that are happening within the Linux kernel, amplifying debugging and networking capabilities. Helios, utilizing both #eBPF and #OpenTelemetry, provides invaluable runtime insights, empowering Dev, Ops, and Sec teams to reduce MTTR and shorten troubleshooting time.

Multiple specialized tools, each with a narrow focus, have led to fragmented risk assessments and countless false alarms. 🛠️❌ But there's a brighter path ahead. By consolidating data from observability tools into a single, scalable platform, we're breaking down silos and fostering collaboration between DevOps, security, and engineering teams. This holistic approach provides the context we need to analyze security events and prioritize remediation effectively. 📊 We're at the forefront of a transformative shift in how we approach security. Let's embrace this convergence of #observability and #security tools to build a safer digital landscape.

After mastering #OpenTelemetry we're now officially also part of the #eBPF community, leveraging both of those great OSS technologies for Observability and Security. Stay tuned for what's coming up next!

As the software development landscape contines to evolve, the importance of collecting runtime data cannot be overstated. 🔥 These techniques offer unique advantages and use cases, allowing developers, security, and operations teams to gain insights into various aspects of their systems. With the advancements of eBPF, application-level Instrumentation, and API-based data collection, developers, #security, and operations teams can gain invaluable insights into their systems, enabling them to optimize, secure, and understand their applications and infrastructure. 💻 Its important to know that each of these methods has limitations and neither one provides complete coverage on its own. For example: #eBPF can’t be used in clusters without privilege mode - In EKS Fargate and GKE. 🔐 To overcome these limitations Helios combines multiple runtime data collection methods. By doing so we provide context, granular data, and a comprehensive picture of the application’s security posture in runtime. 📊

🚀 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘀! We're thrilled to announce the world’s first runtime analysis tool for AppSec that leverages eBPF together with full-stack observability to deliver accurate, actionable vulnerability prioritization, and context. Helios Runtime for AppSec generates a unified security posture that helps teams get an end-to-end view of their application and security data - at the kernel, app, and platform levels - enabling them to analyze and prioritize SCA alerts, and conduct rapid forensics investigations and runtime taint analysis. 📊 But what sets Helios apart is our ability to integrate runtime usage insights with any SCA platform, enriching its findings to help filter and prioritize vulnerability alerts. By analyzing how your application behaves during runtime, we're able to pinpoint which open-source vulnerabilities really matter and provide the high-level accuracy, context, and granularity demanded by enterprise CISOs. 📈🔎🎯 Helios is easy to integrate into developer and #security workflows, requires no custom development, has a low footprint, and no impact on performance. 🤝🏗️ We're excited to bring our latest tool to AppSec and DevSecOps teams, empowering them with the comprehensive #data and insights needed to protect their systems and stay ahead of potential threats. 🛡️🔒 Stay tuned for more updates! 📣👀 https://lnkd.in/dtfrPpnb

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆: the lack of context and communication gap between #security and development engineers. 🤝🔒 Developers and security professionals often approach their work from different angles and may not always communicate effectively. Additionally, developers sometimes perceive security as an inconvenience that consumes valuable time. 🚫⏳ SecOps and developers often have communication challenges when discussing the need for fixes. SecOps don’t always fully understand the findings and don’t have a grasp on the remediation process. The goal is to provide #SecOps with more data and context to reduce false positives, prioritize effectively, and assign genuine vulnerabilities to #developers. 📊👨💻 Remember, visibility is the bedrock for both security and development. It paves the way for swift issue remediation and resolution. 👁️🛠️

In the constantly evolving realm of app development, traditional 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 (𝗦𝗖𝗔) solutions are grappling with the challenges posed by the growing adoption of open-source components. 📱💼 One significant challenge is the sheer volume of open-source components being integrated into software projects. As organizations increasingly rely on these components to speed up development, the number of potential vulnerabilities to monitor and manage has skyrocketed. 📈🔍 Additionally, many SCA tools often struggle with generating a high number of false positives, making it challenging to discern genuine #security risks from false alarms. ❌🚨 The growing adoption of #opensource software (OSS) is driving a need for agile and comprehensive security assessments. These assessments aim to reduce false positives, offer applicative context, and enable prioritization based on genuine risk factors. This trend is especially relevant in the context of the increasing migration to cloud-based solutions. ☁️🔒
