What is Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM)? KSPM is the continuous process of checking Kubernetes configurations, permissions, and policies against security benchmarks. It finds misconfigurations, policy violations, and compliance gaps by understanding Kubernetes-native resources like the control plane, workloads, RBAC bindings, and network policies—elements traditional security tools can’t see.

A: Most were designed for monolithic applications or VMs. They see containers as lightweight VMs rather than ephemeral workloads with unique identity, network, and orchestration patterns. When a pod gets rescheduled across nodes, shares service accounts with other workloads, or communicates over cluster DNS that never touches traditional network monitoring—these tools lose context.

What is cloud application security? Cloud application security is the set of practices, tools, and policies that protect applications running in cloud environments across their entire lifecycle—from code development through CI/CD pipelines to production runtime. Unlike traditional perimeter security, it must protect multiple layers simultaneously: application code, container images, Kubernetes orchestration, and underlying cloud infrastructure under the shared responsibility model.

What is a Kubernetes dependency scanner? A Kubernetes dependency scanner finds known vulnerabilities in software packages your containers depend on—operating system packages, open-source libraries, and anything pulled in by package managers like npm, pip, or apt. It compares dependencies against vulnerability databases of known CVEs.

Table of contents: hide Azure Devops is a popular CI/CD platform utilized by software development teams. The core use includes source code hosting, CI/CD, project management, test managements and dependency management. Given the extensive capabilities of Azure DevOps, the attack vector for cyber criminals is also bigger – putting more pressure on securing sensitive data. With the growth of sophisticated cyber attacks – cyber security must also be re-evaluated and properly addressed.

Staying ahead of cyber threats has never been more critical, and WatchGuard is here to help you do just that. Join cybersecurity experts Corey Nachreiner (CSO) and Marc Laliberte (Director of Security Operations) on February 19, 2026 for the Inside the Threat Landscape: Biannual Cybersecurity Briefing, a must-attend, live webinar designed to equip you with the latest threat insights and defensive strategies straight from the WatchGuard Threat Lab.

A critical unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability has been identified in the React Native Metro development server, with nearly 3,500 exposed instances currently reachable on the public internet. Tracked as CVE-2025-11953, also known as Metro4Shell, this flaw affects the Metro server used during React Native application build and testing workflows.

Bug bounty programs are valuable—until they replace disclosure policies. Learn how unreasonable PoC demands or scope exclusions create security blind spots when it comes to leaked secrets.
