Biometrics is the technical term for body measurements and calculations, and human characteristics. Biometric authentication if a form of identification and access control. As biometric identifiers are unique to individuals, they are seen as more reliable for verifying one's identity than traditional token-based identification systems such as a passport, as well as knowledge-based identification systems such as a password.

One of the greatest misconceptions about online safety is that home networks are somehow private. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been true since around the turn of the century when we started filling our home networks with Internet-connected boxes serving local web pages. The problem is that web browsers typically make little distinction between web sites on the public internet versus those on a home or office network.

There are scary villains out there, and they don’t just come out on Halloween. Forget about tricks, and treat yourself to something worth reading…but be warned…this blog is not for the faint of heart… The authentication or the decline of a payment transaction is often the defining factor of end customer experience.

Over 90% of data breach is attributed to human error costing a company anywhere from $1.25 million to $8.19 million. Tackling cybersecurity does not only entail non-physical risks, but also includes an assessment of physical threats such as human, internal, and external hazards. Only then can an appropriate and effective security plan to dissuade hackers and thieves be devised.

In this blog post, we are going to teach you how to aggregate all Kubernetes security events across your AWS container services. We’ll be using AWS FireLens to route Falco notifications, centralizing all the security events, such as AWS CloudWatch, in one service.

Cyber risk is defined as exposure to harm or loss resulting from data breaches or cyber attacks on information systems, information technology and information security. However, this definition must be broadened. A better, more encompassing definition is the risk of financial loss, disruption or reputational damage due to the failure of an organization's cybersecurity strategy.

ChatOps is one of the hot topics within the cyber security circles today. In this article, we will take a closer look at what it is and why it is useful especially in incident response.

Earlier this week, I heard a fascinating interview with the former Chief Information Officer of Equifax, Graeme Payne. If you are unfamiliar with Graeme, he was the scapegoat for the Equifax breach; described in Congressional testimony as “the human error” that caused the breach. Graeme, however, is a true gentleman who is very gracious about his situation.

We’re excited today to release the Sysdig 2019 Container Usage Report. Continued momentum for Kubernetes and greater adoption of cloud-native architectures are changing not just usage patterns, but processes and organizational structures as well. One of the surprising insights this year is the 2X increase in the number of containers that live for less than five minutes. As services grow more dynamic, cloud teams are recognizing the need to integrate security into their DevOps processes.

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to setup image scanning for Azure Pipelines using Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform. Azure DevOps gives teams tools like version control, reporting, project management, automated builds, lab management, testing, and release management. Azure Pipelines automates the execution of CI/CD tasks, like building the container images when a commit is pushed to your git repository or performing vulnerability scanning on the container image.
