With concerns over the threat of supply chain attacks growing, cybersecurity reporting is evolving towards an increased focus on Vendor Risk Management program performance.

In the last 72 hours, ransomware gang BlackCat has claimed responsibility for the assault—and may be holding the credentials for ransom.

As organizations adopt Microsoft AKS at scale, they need to enforce namespace or even workload-based isolation for better security and compliance. This isolation, often referred to as microsegmentation, can help prevent the lateral movement of threats inside Kubernetes clusters, achieve compliance by limiting communication across workloads or namespaces, and enable multi-tenancy by limiting communication.
