In the dynamic world of Kubernetes, container orchestration is just the tip of the iceberg. In this sophisticated ecosystem, you must prioritize security efficiency. Kubernetes’ robust, open-source platform has been revolutionary in automating the deployment, scaling, and management of application containers. Yet, such capability comes with significant responsibility, particularly in network security. Here, the role of network policies becomes crucial.

In the ever-evolving tech landscape, companies face myriad challenges in scaling, security, and compliance. MonkeyFit's journey, as detailed in a comprehensive case study, demonstrates the power of strategic solutions in overcoming such hurdles.

In cloud-native software development, ensuring the supply chain security of containerized applications in Kubernetes (K8s) environments is of utmost importance. With the continuous evolution of threats, safeguarding your containerized applications at every stage is not a choice anymore; it is an absolute necessity. With Calico’s vulnerability management, you can scan container images across three pivotal application lifecycle stages: Let’s break down the scanning guardrails offered by Calico.

DevOps has already become an integrated part of almost every industry. Whether it’s technology, automotive, healthcare, or any other industry, it’s hard to imagine an organization that doesn’t rely on DevOps. Numbers speak better: the majority of consumers are from the technology sector – 44 %, yet there are a lot of organizations from other industries that depend on DevOps – financial, education, etc.

The “Network access: Restrict clients allowed to make remote calls to SAM” security policy setting manages which users are permitted to view the list of users and groups stored in both the local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database and Active Directory through remote calls. This policy setting allows you to restrict remote RPC connections to SAM. If not selected, the default security descriptor will be used.

Cipher suites are a set of cryptographic algorithms utilized by the schannel SSP implementation of TLS/SSL protocols. These algorithms are employed to generate keys and encrypt data. Each cipher suite designates specific algorithms for the following functions: In TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, the NSA suggests using cryptographic settings that meet the standards in CNSSP 15, known as Commercial National Security Algorithms.

Kernel Direct Memory Access (DMA) Protection is a security feature in Windows designed to prevent unauthorized access to memory by external peripherals. Kernel DMA Protection requires UEFI firmware support, and Virtualization-based Security (VBS) isn’t required. Kernel DMA Protection offers enhanced security measures for the system compared to the countermeasures against BitLocker DMA attacks, all while preserving the usability of external peripherals.
