sysctl configuration hardening

Sysctl is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems that allows users to view and modify kernel parameters at runtime. These parameters, also known as “tunable” or “kernel” parameters, control various aspects of the operating system’s behavior, such as network settings, memory management, file system behavior, and more. Each of these operating systems has their own implementation of sysctl, with slightly different options and syntax.

Securing the Software Supply Chain: Key Findings from the Mend Open Source Risk Report

Threat actors will always target the things most important to businesses, and today, that means applications–the lifeblood of the global economy. As the recent Mend Open Source Risk Report reveals, the ongoing rise in open source vulnerabilities and software supply chain attacks presents significant business risk. The number of open source vulnerabilities are growing, just as threat actors are launching increasingly sophisticated attacks.

3 Ways To Address Your Kubernetes Data Protection Challenges

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool originally developed by Google for managing microservices or containerized applications across a distributed cluster of nodes. It is widely thought that “Kubernetes is key” to cloud-native application strategies. Kubernetes (K8s) runs over several nodes, and the collection of nodes is called a cluster. K8s clusters allow application developers to orchestrate and monitor containers across multiple physical, virtual, or cloud servers.

In this video, we run through the simple steps to be able. to create your very own AWS Honey Tokens using an open-source project and all your own infrastructure.

LimaCharlie as a low-cost way to improve cyber resilience

Organizations know that they need to become more cyber resilient, and are asking MSSPs and enterprise security teams to help. But in a time of economic uncertainty and shrinking budgets, the goal of cyber resilience is often at odds with what management is prepared to invest. The good news is that LimaCharlie can be used to help security professionals improve cyber resilience—with a level of control and at a cost efficiency unparalleled industrywide.

CI/CD and the Promise of Agile Transformation

Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), promises to help deliver software faster and more reliably. It does this by pushing frequent updates and fixes regardless of size and using automation tools to help the process run smoothly. According to Gartner, CI/CD is the most common agile practice currently being adopted by organizations. So how does CI/CD work and why is it critical for DevOps teams?

The Big Fix. OWASP TOP 10 Snyk Learn Path (Cryptography & Outdated Components)

OWASP stands for Open Web Application Security Project. This non-profit foundation works to improve software security. They have published a top 10 list that acts as an awareness document for developers. It represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks. Our goal at Snyk Learn is to educate developers and one way we do that is by covering the OWASP top 10 list.
