HashiCorp +Styra: Validate Terraform Infrastructure using Styra DAS and Terraform Cloud

Security teams must constantly scan infrastructure for policy violations. HashiCorp’s Terraform Cloud, and Styra DAS, an OPA-based authorization management platform, work together to keep infrastructure compliant by mandating verification of Terraform configurations at provisioning.

What is Service Mesh in Microservices?

The microservice architecture involves breaking the application into small interconnected services, each performing a specific task. This breakdown enables developers to work on individual services without affecting the rest of the application, leading to more agility and easier scaling. These services communicate through APIs and, as the number of services within an application increases, developers may introduce a microservice service mesh to control all the service-to-service communication.

Building a Modern Application Security Strategy. Part One: Threats, Opportunities, and Challenges

First of a two-part series The online world is now packed with applications, so it’s unsurprising that they’re a top target for threat actors. However, traditional application security (AppSec) strategies often prove ineffective. To defend themselves against the rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations need to build a modern AppSec strategy that addresses these fast-changing conditions.

Beyond OPA Gatekeeper: Enterprise-scale Admission Control for Kubernetes

OPA Gatekeeper is the most popular solution for enforcing admission control policies on Kubernetes clusters. It was designed for policy management on a single cluster. Styra DAS (built by the creators of OPA) aims to provide the next step for enterprise companies with centralized policy management over tens or hundreds of clusters and policy use cases beyond Kubernetes. In this post, we explain how Styra DAS differs from OPA Gatekeeper and how our enterprise focus led to different design decisions.

Automating Kubernetes Backups with CloudCasa REST APIs

The tutorial goes through an example of executing a CloudCasa backup job through the REST API, which requires tasks such as querying for backup job ids and invoking an action against that job through an http request.

[Webinar] How You Should Not Remediate Your Hardcoded Secrets

If you have ever run a secrets scanner against your entire codebase, it has likely raised hundreds if not thousands of findings, leaving you wondering, "Where should I start?" Unlike other vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets represent a threat by themselves whether your code is running or not. Attackers with access to a repository will scan it inside out for secrets, turning every occurrence into a risk you cannot ignore. Still, this does not mean that you should treat all incidents equally!

Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data

Digitally Encrypt Secure Channel Data is a security setting used for digitally securing the data that’s transmitted over the secure data channel network. The data transmitted between the domain member and the domain controller must be encrypted and secured with the latest technology to ensure that no unauthorized user gets access to the confidential data.
