Simply put, APIs (short for application programming interface) are how machines, cloud workloads, automation and other non-human entities communicate with one another. They also represent an access point to highly sensitive company data and services. Almost every organization uses these machine interfaces, and their usage is only growing because they are essential to digital transformation and automation initiatives.

With Teleport 15.2, we’ve added a preview for Teleport Workload Identity. Teleport Workload Identity lets teams bootstrap and issue identities to services across heterogeneous environments and organizational boundaries. A core value of Teleport comes from having a central access platform, and we believe that humans and machine access need to join and access using the same zero-trust best practices.

Every day that an application is anything less than ‘fully secure’ is a day for a potential data breach. Consumer data, sensitive business information, monetary transactions, and business reputation; everything is at stake. Investing in effective web application security is the best and only way to mitigate the risk of financial losses and reputational damage for businesses. This blog presents a comprehensive blueprint for implementing best practices in application security.

Some of the challenges when adopting DevOps security, also known as DevSecOps, are placing too much focus on tools rather than processes, cultural resistance, weak access controls and poor secrets management. While implementing DevOps security comes with its challenges, there are several best practices organizations can follow to make its implementation as effective and seamless as possible, including proper change management, combating secrets sprawl and following the principle of least privilege.

If you spend quite a bit of time in the command line, working with Docker images and containers locally to build and test them, you might be in the mood for some power-user Docker commands. We're skipping the basics and diving straight into the lesser-known yet highly effective commands that can significantly improve your Docker experience.

This new solution empowers IT security and operations teams to identify, correlate, prioritize, and remediate risk of endpoint vulnerabilities and security incidents in real time.

Before we start this blog post, let’s acknowledge that the only way to secure your environment from any vulnerability is to update the vulnerable hardware or software with patches that the author or the project community releases. Every other form of mitigation is only a way to provide an extended time for critical applications that cannot be updated immediately.

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program has been around for nearly 15 years. In that time, it changed and was updated periodically to keep up with the times. While changes are occasionally made to the underlying security frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC and the NIST documentation that reviews each security control, there is also communication directly from the Department of Defense and other organizations to issue additional guidance.
