Let’s dive deep into malware attacks evolution: up to 90% of modern application code comprises open-source components. This widespread adoption offers numerous benefits, such as cost efficiency, innovation, and flexibility. However, it also introduces significant cybersecurity risks and leaves the door open for malware attacks. Recent reports have shown a staggering 633% increase in malware attacks targeting OSS in 2022, with a further 245% growth in 2023.
The implications of these attacks are severe. For instance, the recent case is the XZ backdoor, which exposed critical vulnerabilities and underscored the risks of relying on open-source software maintained by small teams or individuals.
The increase in ransomware incidents, with 67% of organizations experiencing ransomware attacks in 2023, further emphasizes the urgency of addressing these threats. Today’s SafeDev Talk aims to illuminate these critical issues, emphasizing the need for proactive strategies to protect our software supply chains. Watch it now!
Despite the critical role of OSS, its integration is fraught with security challenges. Recent reports highlight a surge in malware attacks targeting OSS, with incidents rising by 633% in 2022 and continuing to grow by 245% in 2023. Traditional security measures, which rely heavily on identifying known vulnerabilities through Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), are proving insufficient. These measures often involve delays in vulnerability reporting, limited coverage, and an inability to detect sophisticated and zero- day threats...
