In late May 2023, Progress Software first disclosed a zero-day vulnerability in their managed file transfer solution. The Clop ransomware gang leveraged the vulnerability… Read More

Traffic caution sign that reads "shift left"

The concept of “shift left” has DevOps origins, and it’s about fostering a culture of responsibility. The aim is to detect issues earlier in a process or cycle, with an awareness that development choices impact the security of an application, its users, and the organization. From a security standpoint, this means integrating security measures at the beginning of the development cycle, rather than as an add-on after completion. Shifting Security… Read More
