"Without open source software, technology wouldn't move nearly as quickly, nor with the amount of transparency we see in today's software stacks." bit.ly/hbd-oss

Roku devices and Samsung smart TVs have easy-to-exploit security vulnerabilities, according to testing carried out by Consumer Reports. bit.ly/rokuvuln

When security teams take advantage of automation, they can rapidly triage alerts, investigate incidents, contain threats, and protect their companies and customers faster than ever before. bit.ly/secauto

In Oct 2017, Forrester published one of its most popular reports, The Top 10 Tech Trends To Watch: 2018 to 2020. According to the report, a “dawning trend” is that automated security intelligence and breach response will unshackle security and risk. bit.ly/secauto

The other trends that received the same position were: (1) IoT will shift computing toward the edge, (2) distributed trust systems (i.e. Blockchain, crypto, etc.) will challenge centralized authorities, and (3) employee experience will redefine apps. bit.ly/secauto

Security automation is as big of a deal as IoT and blockchain. bit.ly/secauto

How is security automation as big of a deal as blockchain? 1. Organizations are buried by an avalanche of security alerts. bit.ly/secauto

How is security automation as big of a deal as blockchain? 2. Breach containment lags due to manual processes bit.ly/secauto

How is security automation as big of a deal as blockchain? 3. Organizations can’t keep up with the vulnerability backlog. bit.ly/secauto

93 percent of cybersecurity professionals report that their efficiency is limited by manual processes. bit.ly/secauto

To have a sustainable, working patch management program, you need to first open up the two-way communication street. Identify and understand the systems under the hood inside out, as well as the business processes and data elements that are in play. bit.ly/patchmgmt

Customize and integrate patch standards into the current IT infrastructure and business processes -- and do not ask the patch management team to figure out how to retrofit their process into the standards that you have proudly developed. bit.ly/patchmgmt

Patch management is vital to properly protect your organization from unwanted visitors and threats while keeping your systems stable and in a working functional state. bit.ly/patchmgmt

It is inevitable that issues will crop up, and working together with the IT and business team is one of the key ingredients to success. bit.ly/patchmgmt

Collect as much relevant information as possible when developing your patch management program and execute it by partnering with the business and the IT department. Without their support, the patch management program will never be successful. bit.ly/patchmgmt

Whether software code is proprietary or open source, it harbors security vulnerabilities. bit.ly/osadopt

Once security risks are discovered, the #opensource community will quickly catalogue and provide patches for these vulnerabilities. bit.ly/osadopt

The Linux Foundation estimates that more than 31 billion lines of code have been committed to open source repositories. bit.ly/osadopt

The number of #vulnerabilities reported is on the rise. More code development inherently means more inadvertently created security vulnerabilities. As the number rises, it becomes even more humanly impossible to track vulnerabilities manually. #DevSecOps bit.ly/osadopt
