Beskar is a Rails engine that fills that gap with layered protection: WAF that detects vulnerability scanning patterns (WordPress, config files, path traversal) Impossible travel detection using geolocation and Haversine calculations Smart rate limiting that identifies attack patterns (brute force, credential stuffing, distributed attacks) Risk-based account locking with automatic responses Persistent IP banning with escalating durations Installation is deliberately simple - drop it in your Gemfile, run the installer, add one line to your User model. Runs in monitor-only mode by default so you can tune thresholds before blocking real traffic.
AI-assisted developers produced three to four times more code than their unassisted peers, but also generated ten times more security issues. "Security issues" here doesn't mean exploitable vulnerabilities; rather, it covers a broad set of application risks, including added open source dependencies, insecure code patterns, exposed secrets, and cloud misconfigurations. As of June 2025, AI-generated code had introduced over 10,000 new "security findings" per month in Apiiro's repository data set, representing a 10x increase from December 2024, the biz said.
But hidden in there is a tiny flaw that explodes into a huge problem once it hits the cloud. Next thing you know, hackers are in, and your company is dealing with a mess that costs millions. Scary, right? In 2025, the average data breach hits businesses with a whopping $4.44 million bill globally. And guess what? A big chunk of these headaches comes from app security slip-ups, like web attacks that snag credentials and wreak havoc.
"Canonical is the number-one Cloud OS provider in the market with the Ubuntu containers, and VMware by Broadcom, with our VCF Foundation, is the number-one private cloud platform," said Prashanth Shenoy, VP of product marketing, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) division of Broadcom, during a media briefing. "So those two organizations coming together really helps our customers build Kubernetes-based modern applications."
