Containers are used for packaging software and all its dependencies before deployment. Before the era of containers, software developers had to deal with compatibility issues during deployment. These could occur when software functions properly during the development phase but fails to function due to dependency issues in the production environment. With containers, however, all the software dependencies used for development can be shipped and used in the production environment.

One of the most used buzzwords in our industry is "single pane of glass". But what does it really mean? In most cases, it means a single dimension – either cross-infrastructure or cross-functionality or cross-organization. It usually never AND. Most likely, it's OR. So you will need to use multiple single-pane-of-glass products This led to an interesting discussion between us. Is it a single-pane for all the K8s clusters? Or single-pane for all the K8s security capabilities/functionalities?

As a developer, you’re probably using some infrastructure cloud provider. And chances are, you automate parts of your infrastructure using infrastructure as code (IaC), so deployments are repeatable, consistent, easily deployable, and overall, more secure because code makes parameters more visible.

Databases are sensitive resources that need an additional layer of protection and security. Though database servers have built-in authentication and authorization mechanisms, they are not designed for cloud-based, multi-tenant access mechanisms. Managed databases such as Amazon RDS are accessed and administered by different personas with varying levels of access permissions.

What’s your role in the vulnerability management process?

In our mission to make Terraform Cloud workflows more streamlined and secure, we’re excited to announce our new native integration into HashiCorp Terraform Cloud. This integration embeds the security expertise and developer-friendly fixes of Snyk Infrastructure as Code (Snyk IaC) directly into Terraform Cloud, making the Terraform Cloud workflow one of the safest ways to provision and manage public cloud infrastructure.

I have news to share. Teleport has just secured $110M in Series C funding to keep growing the business that I started with my co-founders Sasha Klizhentas and Taylor Wakefield in 2015. This is exciting for founders and employees, but I think it is also excellent news for all software engineers who are crying out for a better way to manage secure access to their mission-critical cloud infrastructure. More on that below.

As the data of the world continues growing at an exponential rate year after year, cybercriminals have come up with highly complicated ways to get access to your personal information. They make use of simple password hacks to malware attacks and even phishing scams. It implies that if you wish to stay alert about all types of potential attacks, selecting a good, strong password is an important aspect to consider.
