Organizations today are embracing cloud-native technologies to increase time-to-market, scalability and cost savings. A big part of the cloud-native transition is moving legacy systems and architectures to the cloud. With this comes both complexity and new risks because modern applications are often composed of dozens of microservices, housed in containers and hosted on immutable, dynamically scaling platforms like Kubernetes.
CrowdStrike recently demonstrated the power of the Falcon platform and its integrated approach to providing robust protection by exposing all attack tactics used as part of the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluation released in April 2022. The evaluation focused on emulating two of today’s most sophisticated Russian-based threat groups: WIZARD SPIDER and VOODOO BEAR (Sandworm Team).
Compliance should be an essential part of business operations, regardless of industry. Taking preventative measures to manage compliance and mitigate risk can feel like a hassle upfront, but it can save your organisation huge costs in the long run. Compliance violations can result in fines, penalties, lawsuits, loss of reputation, and more. However, your efforts should not stop at obtaining a compliance certificate, rather they should expand to accelerate your cybersecurity posture.
Telecommunication is the first, and most robust network ever invented. This may seem like a brazen and bold statement, but when examined closely, it is not the stuff of fantasy. Prior to the invention and development of the internet, what other way could a person pick up a device, and “dial” a few numbers and end up seamlessly connected to someone across the vast expanse of a countryside?
Is your team drowning in container vulnerability noise? Are you spending a lot of time figuring out where to focus resources on and still missing dangerous vulnerabilities? Know that you are not alone. Container environments revolutionized app development by enabling unprecedented velocity, but not without a price. The use of readily available container images of third-party and open-source code enabled much faster cycles, but also facilitated the introduction of vulnerabilities in the application.
