Memory unsafety has plagued the software industry for decades, and will continue to be a major source of vulnerabilities and real-world harm until top business leaders from the software manufacturers make appropriate investments and take ownership of the security outcomes of their customers. We urge software manufacturers to make it a top-level company goal to reduce and eventually eliminate memory safety vulnerabilities from their product lines. https://go.dhs.gov/oM3

I'm excited to see this strong call-to-action from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, "[urging] software manufacturers to make it a top-level company goal to reduce and eventually eliminate memory safety vulnerabilities from their product lines. To demonstrate such a commitment, companies can publish a 'memory safety roadmap' that includes information about how they are modifying their software development lifecycle (SDLC) to accomplish this goal. A roadmap might include details like the date after which it will build new products or components in a memory safe programming language and plans to support the memory safety initiatives of open source libraries that are part of their supply chain." #rust #rustlang #cybersecurity #technology

We are glad to see CISA leading the conversation on this topic. Software vulnerabilities were a catalyst that led to the creation of the security industry and still constitute "a major source of vulnerabilities". Consumer and government pressure on software providers to incorporate security into their development process could help change the game. Read the blog post. Read the white paper. #SecureOurWorld #Cybersecurity

1. Research on Automated Scanners   Automated Scanners: An Overview Automated scanners are security tools designed to identify vulnerabilities in software, applications, and networks. They help security professionals and developers discover and address potential weaknesses, reducing the risk of exploitation. These tools automate the process of scanning and testing, providing a faster and more efficient way to assess security.   Key Features and Uses: • Vulnerability Detection: Automated scanners can identify common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and security misconfigurations. • Web Application Scanning: These scanners are crucial for assessing the security of web applications, checking for issues in the code, configurations, and potential entry points for attackers. • Network Scanning: Some automated scanners focus on network-level vulnerabilities, probing systems for weaknesses and potential points of entry. • Regular Assessments: Automated scanners can be scheduled for regular scans, ensuring continuous monitoring and timely identification of new vulnerabilities. • Reporting: Most scanners generate detailed reports, providing insights into identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and recommendations for remediation. • Compliance Checking: Some scanners help organizations adhere to compliance standards by checking for violations and recommending corrective actions.   Popular Automated Scanners: • Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP): Open-source and user-friendly, ZAP is designed for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. • Nessus: Known for its comprehensive vulnerability scanning capabilities, Nessus is widely used for network and application security assessments. • OpenVAS: The Open Vulnerability Assessment System is an open-source scanner for discovering and managing vulnerabilities in networks. • Nexpose: Developed by Rapid7, Nexpose provides advanced scanning and reporting features for comprehensive vulnerability management.
