Kubernetes stands at the forefront of the container orchestration revolution by becoming most people’s go-to container orchestration platform. While looking at all the features that Kubernetes brings into the picture, you may notice that the platform does not manage its own users.

What is eBPF and how can it be used within the Kubernetes environment? In the dynamic world of container orchestration, where speed and adaptability are a must, eBPF, short for Extended Berkeley Packet Filter, has changed how developers interact with kernels within Kubernetes environments. At its core, eBPF crosses traditional boundaries, offering a programmable and secure in-kernel execution environment that empowers developers to use custom code without the need for modifications to the kernel itself.

A guest post by James Berthoty, founder of Latio. CSPMs and CNAPP have a major gap, and unfortunately, it drives the majority of your cloud that actually matters (Kubernetes). To be frank, most CNAPPs were created around two things: Even the early players in the space who recognized the value of containerization found themselves too ahead of the market to support the giant funding opportunities present from their competition, who were focused on easily scanning every cloud workload that could exist.

A high-severity remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability has been found in OpenSSH’s server (CVE-2024-6387) by the research team of Qualys. This issue is especially concerning because it brings back a problem that was originally fixed in 2006, showing that one of the most popular secure software still has hidden bugs. This discovery follows another major vulnerability found in the XZ Utils library just a few months ago, highlighting ongoing security challenges.
