A few months back, critical vulnerabilities were discovered in ownCloud, a popular platform for file storage, sharing, and collaboration. These issues allowed unauthorized access to sensitive information, tampering with oAuth parameters, and even manipulation of user files. Here’s what happened: 🔑 Admin credentials and license keys were exposed. 🔗 oAuth tokens could be redirected to attacker-controlled domains. 🗂 User files were at risk of unauthorized tampering. ✅ ownCloud has released patches. Upgrade your systems immediately to ensure your data is secure. Read the full analysis here: https://bit.ly/4fUybDM Reminder: When building with third-party APIs, always validate their security standards—or treat them like untrusted input. Vulnerabilities like these underscore the importance of safeguarding APIs, as highlighted in the OWASP API Top 10 under "Unsafe Consumption of APIs."

API drift—the misalignment between an API’s functionality and its documentation—is a subtle yet impactful issue that can disrupt developer productivity, client trust, and operational workflows. But addressing API drift doesn’t have to be daunting. As Rajesh Kamisetty explains: “It’s worth giving it a shot to see for yourself if it works or not. He suggests creating a drift index to quantify the amount of drift and establishing SLAs to address drift. Machine learning, such as through products like Traceable, can also help construct a schema and normalized endpoints that can be compared to an API specification, he says. Using versioning and automatically validating the specification against endpoints and payloads can also help mitigate drift." By adopting tools and practices like these, organizations can detect, quantify, and resolve drift before it becomes a larger issue. Ensuring APIs stay aligned with their specifications enhances both internal efficiency and external trust. How is your team approaching API alignment?

Congrats to Jyoti Bansal and Sanjay Nagaraj! Such exciting news to see from two great companies and founders. We’re thrilled to continue working with Harness and Traceable, both Citi Ventures portfolio companies, as they merge to drive the future of DevSecOps.
Today, I have exciting news: our two companies Harness and Traceable are merging to form a brand new leader in DevSecOps, bringing software delivery and application security together in one unified platform. For our customers, our teams and the industry as a whole, this represents an important step forward and an acknowledgment of how rapidly DevOps and security are converging, accelerated by the power of agentic AI. It’s also a big personal milestone for me. Harness and Traceable both emerged from my startup studio, BIG Labs, and they were both started to solve problems I was passionate about: software delivery and application security. When we first began, both businesses were standalone concepts with separate users and buyer personas. But in recent years, when I walk into a customer meeting for Harness, they ask to block off time to talk about Traceable and application security. At Traceable meetings, they ask to set aside time to talk about DevOps and Harness. What’s clear is DevOps and security are coming together, as businesses seek ways to deploy software more efficiently, without compromising safety. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that starting today, both companies will come together under the name Harness. My co-founder and CTO at Traceable, Sanjay Nagaraj will become the GM of Harness’ Application Security business, and I look forward to our continued partnership delivering the innovation and security our customers rely on. And this is just the start of our journey, not the end. We’re on a mission to fundamentally change the software delivery landscape. The merged business brings substantial momentum. With ARR north of $250 million projected this year — growing more than 50% year-over-year — it’s one of the fastest-growing private companies of its size. This move accelerates our march to $1 billion in ARR as the consummate platform for software delivery. To all of our customers, employees and major investors, including Unusual Ventures, Menlo Ventures and IVP, I want to extend a sincere thank you for believing in us and for your continuing support as we embark on the next era of Harness. More on what this means for our team, customers and investors: https://bit.ly/3WWgIUh
