Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is a fully managed file storage service built on Windows Server. Migrating on-premise Windows file systems to a managed service like FSx enables organizations to reduce operational overhead and take advantage of the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. But having visibility into file access activity across their environment is key for security and compliance requirements, particularly in sectors such as financial services and healthcare.
Shifting left security means you, the developer, catching and fixing vulnerabilities and license violations early in the SDLC. That’s why Xray scans binaries pushed to Artifactory by your builds, and alerts you when there are issues with your dependencies. But catching them earlier, even before checking in code, can be important for developers shifting left.
The Kubernetes community created a feature in v1.10 called Pod Security Policy (PSP) to control the security-related fields for pods defined in your Kubernetes cluster. Now that PSP is being deprecated in Kubernetes v1.21, what should you do to secure your Kubernetes cluster? In this blog, we’ll learn a bit about PSP, explore why it’s being deprecated and how Open Policy Agent (OPA) can ease the migration from PSP.
As a quick note, I have a personal history with .NET, including time working at Microsoft as a .NET evangelist. And I’ve briefly met Anders Jejlsberg, the designer of C# and Typescript, so this blog is a bit personal for me. We are happy to announce that Snyk Code scans for security vulnerabilities and provides remediation suggestions for yet another language: C#. This adds a major language to our portfolio which includes support for Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
Application security remains a top concern for organizations, making the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals as urgent as ever. Nearly half of security practitioners in high-performing enterprises who participated in a recent Ponemon Institute research report about reducing enterprise security risks stated that hacks to insecure applications are their organization’s biggest concern.
MongoDB is one of the most popular open-source databases. Unfortunately, this also means ubiquity of misconfigured and unsecured MongoDB deployments out in the wild. Just in recent years, we’ve seen several hacks involving thousands of MongoDB databases left exposed online without any protection, making them ripe for the hacker’s picking. It doesn’t have to be this way, though.
