Why Companies are Choosing SonarQube to write Cleaner, Safer Code

Written by iTMethods | May 13, 2022 6:14:06 PM

Attacks against developers are increasing and in the past year, dozens have been documented. For instance, a threat actor recently distributed a backdoored version of a .NET development tool to deploy multiple malicious payloads, like a clipboard hijacker and a crypto miner. Another recent example was Log4Shell:  given that the use of Log4j is so ubiquitous around the world, the impact was broad and had the potential to affect everybody. Log4j is embedded into so many things, you may not even know you are using it because it is packaged as part of some other application. This meant companies of all sizes across all industries were affected. 

Developers are an attractive target for cybercriminals, as they have access to the core intellectual property assets of a company: the source code. Compromising a single developer enables attackers to embed malicious code into a company's products. If that product is then used by other companies, the malware can spread to their systems in a so-called supply chain attack. 

That is why the need to secure your software supply chain has never been so critical. Integrating security as part of your development can help organizations protect sensitive information, improve performance, secure their reputation, and build trust.
