Imperva's 2025 Application Security Predictions and Emerging Threats

 Imperva's 2025 application security predictions focus on key trends:

  • API Vulnerabilities: A rise in API usage increases the attack surface, with more attacks targeting business logic vulnerabilities.
  • DevSecOps Adoption: The growing risks associated with APIs will drive the shift toward DevSecOps practices, integrating security from the development stage.
  • AI Security Risks: Generative AI introduces new threats, such as prompt injection, which could lead to intellectual property breaches.
  • Advanced Hacking Tools: New cyberattack tools could automate and escalate phishing attacks, making them more sophisticated and frequent.

These trends highlight the need for proactive security measures to address evolving threats.

OWASP Releases Enhanced Dependency-Check Tool with Advanced Tagging and Policy Management Features

 OWASP has released an updated version of its dependency-check tool, version 4.12.0, which identifies vulnerabilities in third-party software components, enforces policy compliance, and generates a CycloneDX-based Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). Key updates include enhanced tag features for improved control over security alerts and SBOM validation, a new tag management view, a global policy violation audit view, and authorization for security status badges. These changes offer more granular control over managing third-party dependencies, though experts note that managing software risk remains an ongoing challenge despite these improvements. https://securityboulevard.com/2024/10/owasps-dependency-check-tool-update-key-changes-and-limitations/ ps.  I think Security Boulevard (https://securityboulevard.com/) is a little bit confused here. https://securityboulevard.com/2024/10/owasps-dependency-check-tool-update-key-changes-and-limitations/ The original news links to Dependency...

The Hidden Cost of DevSecOps: Time and Financial Burden of Security on Developers

 A survey by JFrog, "The Hidden Cost of DevSecOps: A Developer’s Time Assessment," reveals that developers spend a significant amount of time on security-related tasks, costing companies around $28,000 per developer annually. Half of senior developers and team leaders report a notable increase in weekly hours dedicated to security tasks like manual application scans, context switching, and secrets detection. This time detracts from innovation and delivering new applications. JFrog’s CTO, Asaf Karas, emphasized the inefficiency caused by juggling multiple tools and environments, advocating for streamlined security processes to boost efficiency and reduce risks. Many developers spend 19% of their weekly hours on security tasks, often outside regular work hours, resulting in a reactive approach to security. https://informationsecuritybuzz.com/the-hidden-price-of-devsecops/
