Mitigating controls for cloud-native applications: Why you need them and how Calico Cloud can help

Fixing vulnerabilities can be hard—especially so for cloud-native applications. Let’s take a deeper look at why this is, and how mitigating controls can help secure your cloud-native applications.

What is TTP Hunting?

TTP hunting is an intelligence-based type of cyber threat hunting that analyzes the latest TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) used by hackers and cybercriminals. TTP threat hunters study the newest tools and technologies used by cybercriminals, learn how to detect new attack trends, and gather enough cyber threat intelligence so that companies can fully protect their attack surface.

Scaling Open Policy Agent: Styra DAS vs. DIY OPA

Enterprises are shifting rapidly to the cloud in order to increase scalability, improve efficiency and lower their costs. In the process, every company has become a software company — constantly building and updating new software — while the cloud has radically transformed how software is built. Oftentimes, the modern cloud-native application will be made up of several (or hundreds of) microservices, while being hosted on dynamic scaling platforms like Kubernetes.

The IaC Showdown: Terraform vs. Ansible

Infrastructure as code (IaC) has become the de-facto method for dealing with infrastructure at scale. This codification of infrastructure configurations lets software development teams create version-controlled, reusable configurations. Moreover, it enables integrating infrastructure management as a part of the delivery pipeline.
