Safeguarding Legacy Applications: Unlocking the Power of Seal Security

Legacy applications remain a persistent reality in production environments, and cybersecurity teams must confront the challenges they pose. Seal Security offers a solution to help businesses easily and effectively mitigate vulnerabilities and protect critical assets.

Rebuilding the Past: How Seal Security Uses an NPM Time Machine to Patch Node.js Libraries

Open source libraries often depend on specific versions of other libraries, and those dependencies might have changed over time. When a library was built years ago, the environment it depended on no longer exists in its original form. Package managers like npm are designed to handle these kinds of issues by allowing version ranges for dependencies. So, how do we ensure we have the exact versions of every dependency when trying to fix old libraries?

Empowering Security Teams: Independent Open source vulnerability remediation

Traditional open source vulnerability remediation is a significant bottleneck in modern security. Organizations often grapple with hundreds or thousands of high and critical vulnerabilities, yet the process of upgrading dependencies is a manual, time-consuming, and error-prone task, heavily reliant on developers.

Curated OSS Catalogs: Enhancing Security and Efficiency in Software Development

Organizations are increasingly relying on open source software (OSS) to accelerate development and innovation. However, with great power comes great responsibility – and in this case, significant security risks. Enter the curated OSS catalog, a solution that ensures secure-by-default OSS usage. Let’s explore what a curated OSS catalog are and who stands to benefit from them.

Seal Security Joins Snyk Technology Alliance Partner Program

Seal Security is excited to announce it’ll join Snyk’s Technology Alliance Partner Program, to provide a seamless integration and product experience for Snyk customers who want to streamline their open source vulnerability patching efforts using Seal’s solution.

Seal Security is now a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA)

Seal Security, a leading provider of open source vulnerability and patch management solutions, has been authorized by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®) Program as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA).

Keeping Your Open Source Dependencies Vulnerability-Free: Beyond Version Chasing

NYDFS Finalizes Amendments to Cybersecurity Regulations: Adapting to New Requirements for Financial Services Companies

on November 1st, 2023 the DFS released the 2nd amendment to 23 NYCRR 500. Financial organizations operating in New York are required to update their vulnerability management programs in order to comply with the updated regulation.

The challenges of keeping open source up-to-date

Open source software has become an integral part of modern application development, enabling developers to accelerate their projects by leveraging pre-existing libraries and frameworks. Open source offers numerous benefits, yet it's not without its challenges.

The Impending EOL of CentOS 7: What You Need to Know and How to Prepare

As we approach the EOL, it's crucial to understand the current status of vulnerabilities in CentOS 7. The official docker container of CentOS 7 has 1 critical rated vulnerability, 13 high rated vulnerabilities, and 36 medium and low rated vulnerabilities. Even after installing all the available updates, we are still left with 2 highly rated and 17 medium and low vulnerabilities.

Eliminating Protestware Risks with Seal Security: Ensuring Secure Library Usage

In today's interconnected world, software vulnerabilities pose a significant threat to organizations of all sizes. To address these risks, companies typically rely on timely updates and patches for third-party libraries. However, a new challenge has emerged in the form of protestware – software intentionally manipulated to convey messages, potentially causing unintended consequences or harm.
