Find and fix vulnerabilities early: Stop fighting today’s cyberattacks with yesterday’s AppSec tools

The Log4j vulnerability was fixed and patched 2 years ago but companies are still reeling from it today. Many do not understand the impact radius of the security threat in their codebase, much less know what to do when they find one. Vulnerable Log4j versions continue to be downloaded unchecked from the central repository and percolate into production, where Day 0 events continue to simmer. While this has prompted fresh cybersecurity regulations in the software supply chain for better tooling, what does this topic mean to you? In this episode, we’ll review: - Ways to build resiliency for a software supply chain that your users can trust - How to understand risk profiles and dependencies beyond software composition analysis - Automated storage and index and query security documentation for each pull request - Prioritize vulnerabilities and direct remediation in the integrated development environment (IDE) from a system of record
