Enhancing Security with eBPF: Use Cases Explored

eBPF, short for Extended Berkeley Packet Filter, is a kernel technology that allows programs to run without requiring changes to the kernel source code or the addition of new modules. eBPF was built on top of the Berkeley Packet Filter (cBPF). Notable milestones in its development include the first in-kernel Linux JIT compiler in April 2011 and the first non-networking use case of the classic Berkeley Packet Filter, seccomp-bpf, appearing in January 2012. It can be used for a variety of purposes.

Secure your web apps running on Azure App Service with Datadog Application Security Management

Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) commonly used to deploy applications and APIs, as well as functions, mobile apps, and more. It provides flexibility and reliability when deploying new applications and infrastructure, but it also introduces new security risks to your system. In particular, reduced visibility into the infrastructure and deployment of your application leads to a greater chance of application vulnerabilities being exploited by an attacker.

Consolidating effort for enhanced application security

Navigating the complexities of modern application security presents a formidable challenge for organizations. The multitude of security tools and the effort to implement and maintain them often creates a tangled web of processes, which can result in inconsistent implementations, resource inefficiencies, and a fractured view of risk. Enterprise organizations can have hundreds of developers spread across multiple business units.

Three reasons to invest in an ASPM solution in 2024

The pace of software development is astounding! The transition to agile, DevOps, cloud, and the supercharged use of AI is empowering distributed development teams to build software with greater speed and autonomy. In contrast to the remarkable strides in development methodologies, maintaining a robust security posture has become a formidable challenge. AppSec teams are still playing catchup, both outnumbered and out-resourced.

Leveraging OpenAPI as a Core Element of API and Application Security

An application’s attack surface is the sum of all the areas of an application which could be attacked by malicious attackers. This includes the application’s APIs, the underlying code, supporting infrastructure, and any other components which could be compromised. The goal for any organization is to reduce the attack surface area by discovering and minimizing potential vulnerabilities.
