A guest post by James Berthoty the founder of Latio Tech. The shift to cloud has meant an explosion in cloud security-related acronyms – so many that it can be difficult to know what you currently have versus what’s missing or available. First we bought CSPMs (Cloud Security Posture Management), then CWPPs (Cloud Workload Protection Platforms), then CNAPPs (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform), then CDRs (Cloud Detection Response), and now KDRs (Kubernetes Detection Response).

Seccomp, short for Secure Computing Mode, is a noteworthy tool offered by the Linux kernel. It is a powerful mechanism to restrict or log the system calls that a process makes. Operating within the kernel, seccomp allows administrators and developers to define fine-grained policies for system call execution, enhancing the overall security posture of applications and the underlying system.

A contributor to the liblzma library (a compression library that is used by the OpenSSH project, among many others) submitted malicious code that included an obfuscated backdoor. Since the maintainers had no reason to suspect foul play, they accepted and merged the contribution. The malicious code made it into the compression library release, and later on to the OpenSSH server, which relies on the library in question.

On March 29, 2024, Red Hat disclosed CVE-2024-3094 (a.k.a XZ vulnerability) scoring a critical CVSS rating of 10. Stemming from a supply chain compromise it affects the latest iterations of XZ tools and libraries. The CVE was identified by a software engineer following the discovery of performance issues in SSH connections. This led to the exposure of a major supply chain attack where a compromised library was inserted into sshd and exploited during the authentication process.

In the dynamic landscape of cloud-native cybersecurity, image scanning has become essential to ensuring the safety and integrity of cloud workloads and digital assets. Historically, image scanners focus on finding vulnerabilities (CVEs) that may be the cause of exploits in Kubernetes workloads. However, there’s a significant gap that often goes unnoticed. This gap is the lack of comprehensive scanning for malware, viruses, crypto miners, and other malicious threats.

In the ever-changing world of Kubernetes security, it’s crucial to stay ahead of threats while maintaining operational efficiency. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest feature: Auto-Generated Kubernetes Network Policy, based on application runtime behavior, powered by eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology. With this addition, organizations can easily apply native Kubernetes network rules without worrying about disrupting their production systems.

In the dynamic world of Kubernetes, container orchestration is just the tip of the iceberg. In this sophisticated ecosystem, you must prioritize security efficiency. Kubernetes’ robust, open-source platform has been revolutionary in automating the deployment, scaling, and management of application containers. Yet, such capability comes with significant responsibility, particularly in network security. Here, the role of network policies becomes crucial.

Struggling to manage vulnerabilities in your Kubernetes environment? You’re not alone. Traditional vulnerability management tools often leave security teams feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to focus their efforts. Traditional scanners churn out an endless stream of alerts, many irrelevant, making it difficult to prioritize and address the most critical issues. Sound familiar?

In an ideal world, patching every vulnerability before attackers discover them would be a breeze. The reality of the evolving cloud-native landscape, with its ever-changing mix of cloud, DevOps, mobile, and critical infrastructure, paints a different picture. New risks emerge constantly, leaving traditional vulnerability management approaches struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, Security and DevOps teams face ongoing pressure to protect their organizations from vulnerabilities.

ARMO closes the gap between development and security, giving development, DevOps, and DevSecOps the flexibility and ease to ensure high grade security and data protection no matter the environment – cloud native, hybrid, or legacy.
ARMO is driving a paradigm shift in the way companies protect their cloud native and hybrid environments. We help companies move from a “close-the-hole-in-the-bucket” model, installing firewalls, defining access control lists, etc. to a streamlined DevOps- and DevSecOps led model in which environments are deployed with inherent zero-trust.
Security at the Speed of DevOps:
- Runtime workload identity and protection: Identifies workloads based on application code analysis, creating cryptographic signatures based on Code DNA to prevent unauthorized code from running in the environment to access and exfiltrate protected data. The patent-pending technology signs and validates workloads in runtime throughout the entire workload lifecycle.
- Transparent data encryption: Transparent data encryption – keyless encryption – robustly and uniformly encrypts and protects files, objects, and properties, requiring no application changes, service downtime, or impact on functionality. It eases the adoption of encryption by removing the complexity of key management and providing an out-of-the-box solution for key protection in use, key rotations, and disaster recover procedures.
- Identity-based communication tunneling: Transparent communication tunneling ensures only authorized and validated applications and services can communicate. Even if attackers steal valid access credentials, they are useless because the malicious code will be unsigned. Create API access polices to build identity-based policies and enforce correct workload behaviors.
- Application-specific secret protection: Application-specific protection of secrets ensures cryptographic binding between continuously validated specific workload identities and their confidential data, delivering complete protection against access by unauthorized applications.
- Visibility & compliance: Visibility and compliance monitoring provide granular details about workloads and running environments, including individual processes, file names and locations, open listening ports, actual connections, mapped volumes, opened files, process privilege levels, connections to external services, and more. Alerts can be used for continuous compliance verification.
Bringing Together Run-Time Workload And Data Protection To Seamlessly Establish Identity Based, Zero-Trust Service-To-Service Control Planes.
