  • How SME lender New10 uses AWS and Snyk to deliver quickly and securely

    How SME lender New10 uses AWS and Snyk to deliver quickly and securely

    “Snyk simplifies our continuous delivery pipelines by directly integrating security. Now, our pipelines are shorter, and new applications and features go into production faster. Ultimately, this means we can deliver value to the business faster and more securely.” – Kirill Kolyaskin, Lead Cloud Engineer at New10

    New10 is an online lender, leveraging the benefits of the most cutting-edge technology to offer a fully digital lending process to more than 1,000 customers.

    The FinTech scale up has deep roots in the AWS Cloud and uses AWS for loan administration, risk comprising services, customer information services and analytical services. New10 chose Snyk to integrate security best practices directly into their development pipelines. In this case study, we’ll share how New10 has leveraged both AWS and Snyk to deliver value to their customers faster and with security always at the forefront.

  • Identifying and resolving security code vulnerabilities using Snyk in AWS CI/CD Pipeline

    Identifying and resolving security code vulnerabilities using Snyk in AWS CI/CD Pipeline

    The majority of companies have embraced open-source software (OSS) at an accelerated rate even when building proprietary applications. Some of the obvious benefits for this shift include transparency, cost, flexibility, and a faster time to market. Snyk’s unique combination of developer-first tooling and best in class security depth enables businesses to easily build security into their continuous development process.

    Even for teams building proprietary code, use of open-source packages and libraries is a necessity. In reality, a developer’s own code is often a small core within the app, and the rest is open-source software. While relying on third-party elements has obvious benefits, it also presents numerous complexities. Inadvertently introducing vulnerabilities into your codebase through repositories that are maintained in a distributed fashion and with widely varying levels of security expertise can be common, and opens up applications to effective attacks downstream.

  • Serverless is great, but what about the security of my AWS Lambda functions and their dependencies?

    Serverless is great, but what about the security of my AWS Lambda functions and their dependencies?

    Function as a Service (FaaS) platforms patch your operating system dependencies for you, but do nothing to secure your application dependencies, such as those pulled from npm, PyPI, Maven and the likes. These libraries are just as prevalent and just as vulnerable as operating system dependencies, and you—the application owner—are responsible for upgrading or patching them when a vulnerability in them is disclosed.

    Furthermore, since attackers know that server dependencies at the operating system level, which are the responsibility of the cloud provider, are patched quickly, they will focus their attention on application code and application dependencies.

  • Three Mistakes to Avoid When Migrating to the Cloud

    Three Mistakes to Avoid When Migrating to the Cloud

    Migration and modernization is a process – it doesn’t all happen at once, and some applications don’t make the journey. AWS and CloudBees help customers navigate cloud adoption and DevOps transformation with tools and practices that help customers make good decisions on how to move, migrate, rebuild or replace the components you need.

    Many enterprise software companies on the road to DevOps transformation are tasked with migrating legacy applications to the cloud. But deconstructing the monolith and refactoring applications isn’t always easy. This is especially true for highly regulated industries such as government, healthcare and financial services where change management is rigorous. The DevOps challenges preventing success often lie in the ways these teams work. CloudBees and AWS can help you avoid the pitfalls and give you the best practices and tools required for lasting DevOps transformation.

    Check out this webinar recording, where we explore the top three mistakes enterprise software companies make on their journey to the cloud. We’ll also tell you what they should have done instead.

  • For the Love of Serverless

    For the Love of Serverless

    For the Love of Serverless is a 2020 AWS Lambda Benchmark Report for Developers, DevOps, and Decision Makers.

    Welcome to the first edition of New Relic’s Serverless Technology Semiannual Report.

    A lot of people are talking about serverless trends right now. Still, there’s a lack of quantitative data in the market to inform developers, DevOps practitioners, and decision makers of crucial serverless adoption metrics and benchmarks.

    New Relic One processes trillions of serverless events across the globe. For this report, we’ve aggregated and analyzed the same sample set over time to call out key trends that help serverless users make knowledge-based decisions about their architecture and performance goals to ultimately build better software.
