Backups can act as a safety net for DevOps. They help to keep important data safe and ensure smooth workflow and business resilience in the midst of a disaster. However, which backup method is the most efficient one? There are different options for backing up your DevOps stack which range from basic scripts put together by internal IT teams to advanced solutions provided by professional backup vendors.

Securely managing secrets within the CI/CD environment is super important. Mishandling secrets can expose sensitive information, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, and compromised systems.

We’re excited to announce that SBOMs (software bill of materials) generated by Snyk's tools will include license information! This new capability is part of our ongoing efforts in our Software Supply Chain Security solution. The developer-first tools in the solution help you gain a better understanding of your app’s supply chain, identify potential risks, and take the necessary steps to get ahead of them.

In today’s cloud-native ecosystems, effective configuration security is essential. Containers and Kubernetes clusters operate in dynamic environments with multiple interconnected risk vectors, making security more complex than in traditional IT environments. Misconfigurations can lead to vulnerabilities, breaches, and compliance issues, putting applications and data at risk.

Companies may scale their cloud resources in pursuit of product, cost, or process innovation. However, this does not come without a cost of its own. The resulting infrastructure complexity, created from a growing sprawl of access silos, can introduce friction into engineer and security workflows.

The increasing sophistication of cyber attacks, the proliferation of cloud services, and the new normal of remote work have all changed the modern cybersecurity landscape. As traditional perimeter-based approaches to security become increasingly vulnerable to these modern cyber threats, zero trust has emerged as the modern security strategy of choice. Zero trust architecture is critical for any organization seeking to improve resilience, reduce breach risk, and enhance data protection.

Zero trust has become one of modern security’s most prominent strategies. Zero trust architecture is based on the fundamental idea that every network, user, and system must be verified consistently, instead of granting trust based on past access. Although zero trust is a commonly accepted practice today, it’s important to understand the pivotal role that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) plays in defining zero trust architecture and other cybersecurity frameworks.
