Approaching Azure Kubernetes Security

The Splunk Security Research Team has been working on Kubernetes security analytic stories mainly focused on AWS and GCP cloud platforms. The turn has come now for some Azure Kubernetes security monitoring analytic stories.

Chances are, if you’re like most organizations, you can’t answer all of these questions.

DevSecOps for Kubernetes-based Applications

In this webinar, we will discuss concerns over security, privacy, and compliance holding back organizations from making the move to fully cloud-native initiatives. As more and more companies orchestrate their containerized applications in Kubernetes, enabling DevSecOps and continuous security becomes a must. We will look at the end-to-end SDLC process - from the first line of code up to an application running in a Kubernetes cluster - to examine the importance of DevSecOps.

Software Development Life Cycle: Finding a Model That Works

Waterfall. Agile. Scrum. Kanban. Lean. These words are often thrown around when talking about the software development life cycle (SDLC), but what do they mean and how do they relate to each other? In this blog, we’ll take a look at the evolution of the software development life cycle and consider several current trends.
