❄️'Tis the season to optimize

Make way for what's replacing ActivePython and ActivePerl. Find new, security-oriented resources to keep your organisation safe.

Round-Up: November 2021 View in browser Hi John,   As the winter season approaches, it's time to make sure you can weather the storms. With that in mind, we're introducing more secure dev environments, and a wealth of resources to ensure your organization can stay safe.   #1. Out with the old and in with the new... Python & Perl   We're sunsetting our popular ActivePython and ActivePerl distributions in favor of the ActiveState Platform. As dev environments continue to become the targets of attackers, our old 'one-size-fits-all' community editions are no longer safe to use. We held a webinar to discuss the security pitfalls, and demonstrate how our Platform provides a modern Python and Perl experience that is more productive and secure. Watch the recording.   #2. Security is on everyone's plate   From developers to CTOs, everyone must introduce new practices to shift security left. The following resources can help you make the transition without derailing your deliverables:   For InfoSec, dev and R&D managers Building securely with the ActiveState Platform A CISO's guide to software supply chain security Business leader's guide to establishing software supply chain trust For developers, DevOps professionals, and engineers How to work with vulnerable Python packages, and stay secure Shifting security left for DevOps made easy #3.
