In a recent episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sat down with Sathya Sankaran, Chief Operating Officer at CloudCasa by Catalogic, to discuss how the Kubernetes ecosystem is shifting and how CloudCasa is helping organizations address the data protection weaknesses in Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure and adopt these new technologies.

SecOps is a short form for Security Operations, a methodology that aims to automate crucial security tasks, with the goal of developing more secure applications. The purpose of SecOps is to minimize security risks during the development process and daily activities. Under a joint SecOps strategy, the security and operations teams work together to maintain a safe environment by identifying and resolving vulnerabilities and resolving any security issues.

Data breaches are still on the rise in healthcare. 2021 accumulated 686 healthcare data breaches of 500 or more records in 2021, resulting in 45M exposed or stolen healthcare records. 2022 is off to a poor start with over 3.7M healthcare records compromised as of 3/2/2022.

Recently discovered vulnerability - CVE-2022-23648 - in containerd, a popular container runtime, allows especially containers to gain read-only access to files from the host machine. While general container isolation is expected to prevent such access, in Kubernetes, it is especially dangerous because well-known and highly sensitive files are stored in known locations on the host.

This blog is part of a series on how to provide identity-based access to AWS resources. In the first tutorial, we saw how to set up an identity-aware AWS bastion host using the OSS solution, Teleport. In this blog, we will expand the scenario to use a single-sign-on (SSO) authentication mechanism to issue certificates to specific groups of users to access AWS resources.

This is the second blog in a multi part series helping admins, service providers, consultants and security admins to check and achieve a level of security control in Office 365. Part 1 of this series covered the basic PowerShell commands for Authentication through CIS, here we will talk about ‘Audit’.

Containerization has gone mainstream, and Kubernetes won out as the orchestration leader. Building and operating applications this way provides massive elasticity, scalability, and efficiency in an ever accelerating technology world. Although DevOps teams have made great strides in harnessing the new tools, the benefits don’t come without challenges and tradeoffs.

GraphQL provides security straight out of the box with validation and type-checking. However, it doesn’t fully address security concerns around APIs. In this article, we’ll learn how to secure GraphQL APIs by building a simple Node.js application using Fastify and GraphQL. According to its official documentation, GraphQL is a graph query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with our data.

We recently launched the 12th annual edition of our State of Software Security (SOSS) report. To draw conclusions for the report, we examined the entire history of active applications. For the public sector data, we took the same approach. We examined the entire history of applications for government agencies and educational institutions. We found that the public sector has the highest proportion of security flaws of any industry.

The dangers of email security are often understated. One successful email attack can lead to malware injection, system compromise, impersonation, espionage, ransomware and more. After all, phishing remains the top attack vector used by hackers. The FBI reported phishing scams were extremely prominent, with 323,972 complaints being made in the U.S. in 2021, compared to 241,342 the previous year. Adjusted losses resulting from these attacks is more than $44 million, a $10 million decrease from 2020.
