Spectral’s newly released Preflight solution is an open-source tool designed to help developers defend against supply chain attacks by automatically verifying and safely executing a user’s CI and third-party scripts.
The solution queries popular anti-malware services to verify and block binaries if they contain malware.
“Hackers have become increasingly sophisticated, with a variety of tools, but their basic strategy is always the same: gain access to the most sensitive and valuable information, like sensitive tokens, API keys, credit card numbers and bank account details, by finding weaknesses,” said Dotan Nahum, the CEO and co-founder of Spectral. Most importantly, hackers will exploit any weakness they come across, so the only defense is to continuously and automatically protect and monitor supply chain gaps and public blindspots.”

Cobalt releases a public API
Cobalt launched a new public API to enable users to integrate platform data into other tools, streamline security and development workflows and analyze findings.
Cobalt’s public API will enable customers to integrate Cobalt findings with the developer, security, and risk tools of their choosing.
“Integrations play a major role in scaling pentest programs and effectively managing pentest data across many tools and workflows. In fact, a lack of integrations can prolong the lead time to triage and remediate vulnerabilities, which can lead to greater risk of breach. We want to enable security and development teams to be more productive and have more confidence in their cybersecurity posture,” said Eric Brinkman, the chief product officer at Cobalt.
