As containerized applications become the norm, the complexities of securing these dynamic, scalable environments demand a fresh perspective on traditional security practices. While Kubernetes streamlines deployment and management, it also introduces a new layer of attack surface, necessitating a nuanced approach to threat mitigation.

Humans don’t like change. Whether it’s saying goodbye to your favorite pair of jeans, moving to a new house, or trying a new kind of coffee, we often resist change.

Cybersecurity breaches are becoming more frequent and more impactful. Adversaries continue to grow stronger, and defenders aren’t always keeping pace. Add in the increasing number of nation-state actors in the threat landscape, and it’s hardly surprising that governments are starting to take a greater role in regulating security. On July 26th, 2023, the U.S.

Unknown threats are the real risk. One such example is, Zero-day vulnerability, having been used in real-time attacks but not yet disclosed by the software vendor. In 2023 alone, 3324 zero-day vulnerabilities were identified in websites protected by AppTrana WAAP, highlighting the urgency of understanding and addressing these risks. This blog delves into the essence of zero-day vulnerabilities, exploring how they operate and crucial best practices to defend against potential exploitation.

Web applications are one of the most common vectors for attacks, accounting for over 40% of breaches, according to Verizon's Data Breach Report. Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a crucial technique used by development teams and security professionals to secure web applications in the software development lifecycle.

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of security controls created to ensure all companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card data maintain an audit-ready environment. Version 4.0 was published in March 2022; organizations required to be compliant have until March 31, 2024, when compliance must be complete.

As a medical device company, are you familiar with an FDA regulation called section 524b?

Check out this one line for a moment...“duped into attending a video call with what he thought were several other members of staff, but all of whom were in fact deepfake recreations.” In a worrying display of social engineering sophistication, a multinational company was defrauded of $25 million through an intricately planned deepfake scam.

In the cloud-native era, Infrastructure as Code (IaC; read more about it in this blog here) has become the de-facto standard for managing cloud infrastructure, and more. While Terraform has been around for almost a decade, and it had been the one-and-only cloud-agnostic option for a couple of years before competitors emerged, now the landscape is a whole lot more diverse: we've got AWS CDK, CDK for Terraform, and there is a relatively new kid on the block: Pulumi.
