At Sysdig, we are constantly looking for ways to improve the security posture of the organizations that we work with. One of the areas we continuously improve upon is our platform’s threat intelligence and detection capabilities that leverage the open-source Falco project.

Containers revolutionized how we build, deploy, and run applications with increased speed, agility, and scalability. But, as often happens with transformative technologies, they require an evolution to security strategy. Centralized deployments inside a protected perimeter gave way to continuous and distributed deployment of containers, creating a growing, dynamic, and distributed attack surface. IT and security teams were left blind and exposed in the cloud.

Today, Netskope announced it has been awarded, through SEWP Prime Anacapa Micro and distributor Merlin Cyber, the industry’s first Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) U.S. Federal Civilian Government contract in history, led by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

It might sound confusing at first, but knowing who your third parties also rely on for their day-to-day business operations is key to building out a smarter and more informed vendor risk management program. Commonly known as fourth-party concentration risk, the ability to determine the fourth-party vendors in your digital supply chain that serve a majority of your third-party vendors can help organizations avoid potentially catastrophic supply chain risk from such a dependency.

SOC analysts suffer from alert fatigue caused by too many data sources and platforms, too little context in investigations, too few people, and too little time. Mature cybersecurity teams manage this challenge by leveraging an integrated set of data analytics capabilities from best-of-breed solutions to establish an end-to-end experience — from data collection to response.

CrowdStrike believes that continuous testing and evaluation by third-party organizations is critical in helping customers make informed decisions about which security solution best fits their needs.
