Just like how computers use trusted third parties and chains of trust to connect with one another, organizations use (admittedly much slower and more human powered) authoritative standards organizations (AICPA) and certified audit firms to create a trust system between organizations.
Vulnerabilities are weaknesses leveraged by adversaries to compromise the confidentiality, availability or integrity of a resource. The vulnerability ecosystem has matured considerably in the last few years. A significant amount of effort has been invested to capture, curate, taxonomize and communicate the vulnerabilities in terms of severity, impact and complexity of the associated exploit or attack.
The audience in the room is weirdly quiet. The contestant is in a small plexiglass booth with nothing but a phone, a laptop computer and some notes. On a set of speakers outside, the booth broadcasts the sounds of a dial tone as a woman on the stage begins to dial a number. It is apparent she is not phoning a friend.

Security is easy, right? Get yourself a patchwork of security point products meant to solve one or two specific problems, and your organization is safe from threats! Ah, if only it were that simple… In reality, security operations are disjointed and complex.

Adopting cloud native technologies like Kubernetes and Helm means your company’s operations can sail swiftly across the globe’s oceans to reach teams and customers. But there are dangers in the deep. With many components in Kubernetes, securing every dimension can be quite challenging and require a bit of learning curve. Let’s identify some important best practices that can help you to steer straight.
As we are all currently confined to a life at home during the pandemic, it has become more important than ever that our favorite web applications stay fast and reliable. Many modern web applications use web caches to keep up with these demands. While this works wonders from a performance perspective, it also opens up new attack vectors. One of these new attack vectors is called Web Cache Poisoning.
When we started Styra, we set out to rethink authorization and policy for the cloud-native environment. We knew that new risks and challenges would emerge as companies embraced the cloud and began using a whole new host of technologies and architectures for building applications. The constant changes and dynamic runtime of the cloud-native environment complicated matters even more.
