Kubernetes API Access Security Hardening.

In a Kubernetes cluster, Control Plane controls Nodes, Nodes control Pods, Pods control containers, and containers control applications. But what controls the Control Plane? Kubernetes exposes APIs that let you configure the entire Kubernetes cluster management lifecycle. Thus, securing access to the Kubernetes API is one of the most security-sensitive aspects to consider when considering Kubernetes security.

Automating Kubernetes Cross-Account and Cross-Cluster Restore

Why settle for less! The challenge of manually dealing with self-hosting a product like Velero or Kasten on dozens of clusters and multiple clouds, and then trying to migrate data across different accounts and even different clouds is very different from dealing with a single cluster and a single cloud environment. CloudCasa provides a guided workflow for cross-account and cross-cluster Kubernetes restores in Amazon EKS from an intuitive GUI.

Attacker Floods npm With Crypto-Mining Packages that Mine Monero When Installed with Default Configuration

Monero (XMR) is an open-source, privacy-oriented cryptocurrency that was launched in 2014. It uses a public distributed ledger containing technology that obscures transaction details to ensure the anonymity of its users. Monero maintains egalitarian mining, allowing anyone to participate. As tempting as it may seem, some go a step further and use the infrastructure of others to participate in mining. Cryptocurrency mining was originally performed using CPUs, and Monero was no different.]

Choosing an RDP Client

Controlling your Windows PC remotely can open a world of possibilities; remote work, remote assistance, remote system diagnosis and network troubleshooting are just some of the advantages of using Remote Desktop Protocol or RDP. Developed by Microsoft, RDP allows you to remotely connect to another computer over a network, giving you full access to and control over the computer’s software, data and resources.

rusted SBOMs delivered with the JFrog Platform and Azure

SBOMs provide essential visibility into all the components that make up a piece of software and detail how it was put together. With an SBOM in hand it’s possible to determine if software contains existing security and compliance issues or is impacted by newly discovered vulnerabilities. The SBOM is imperative due to the White House’s cybersecurity executive order from May 2021 requiring them for all government software purchases and many private organizations following suit.
