We’re really excited to announce that Open Policy Agent (OPA) is now a graduated project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)! OPA joins projects like Kubernetes, Envoy, Prometheus, Fluentd (and ten others) that the CNCF recognizes for achieving broad adoption by the cloud-native community and maturity in its development processes. As the creators of OPA, we couldn’t be prouder!

2020 was a busy year for Docker and Snyk! In the same year, we announced (and released) Snyk-powered vulnerability scanning within Docker Desktop and Docker Hub. We expect 2021 to be bigger as we grow these products and release Snyk-secured Docker Official Images.

In order to meet the increasing demand for OPA in EMEA, Styra and Amazic have signed a distributor agreement. With Amazic network of partners and resellers, Styra will significantly increase the reach and ability to support OPA users across the region. I’m excited to announce that Styra is now partnering with Amazic in Europe! Amazic empowers the IT individual by providing them with a unique platform of brands to discover, learn, purchase and market the latest IT technologies.

The defense evasion category inside MITRE ATT&CK covers several techniques an attacker can use to avoid getting caught. Familiarizing yourself with these techniques will help secure your infrastructure. MITRE ATT&CK is a comprehensive knowledge base that analyzes all of the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that advanced threat actors could possibly use in their attacks. Rather than a compliance standard, it is a framework that serves as a foundation for threat models and methodologies.

As a developer of copy data management and data protection products for 20+ years, Catalogic Software has considerable experience in securing and protecting our customers’ data.

In addition, we are adding new capabilities to meet specific enterprise security and data custodian and governance requirements.

Modern organizations are working hard to differentiate their products and services by creating innovative solutions that their customers can leverage at home and on-the-go, forcing them to consider new, more agile approaches to application development that empower their development teams to accelerate time-to-market, and launch new solutions as quickly as possible.

AT&T Alien Labs™ has identified a new tool from the TeamTNT adversary group, which has been previously observed targeting exposed Docker infrastructure for cryptocurrency mining purposes and credential theft. The group is using a new detection evasion tool, copied from open source repositories. The purpose of this blog is to share new technical intelligence and provide detection and analysis options for defenders.
