For the Sysdig Customer Success team, our mission is simple: ensuring that our customers get the most value from our product. Usually that means helping them use the product, answering questions, and requesting feature enhancements. In our line of work, sometimes you have to throw out the usual playbook to make things happen. This particular story started when we noticed a change in a customer’s agent usage.

In cloud computing, two platforms stand out: OpenStack and Kubernetes. OpenStack, an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform, enables the creation and management of virtualized data centers that cater to diverse workloads. Kubernetes, a container orchestration platform, excels at managing large-scale, distributed applications, facilitating rapid deployment and scaling. The OpenStack vs.

In the last decade, outsourcing to third parties–especially in the gig economy–has taken over key functions that enterprises used to handle internally. Today’s companies are frequently virtual–using third-party services that span the likes of application development, back-office corporate functions, contract manufacturing and research, marketing, and core IT services.

Containerization has revolutionized application development, deployment, and management – and for good reason. The ability to automatically wrap an application and its dependencies into a single, easily deployable package helps developers focus on what they do best: writing code.

This is an analysis of the impacts and implications on cybersecurity practices, benefits, challenges, and how to deal with the transition to the new NIST CSF 2.0 framework. NIST released an update to its Cyber Security Framework (CSF) in February 2024. Two of the most obvious takeaways from this version are the addition of a new pillar and the expansion of its application beyond critical infrastructure.

As a powerful and widely adopted open-source platform, the complexity of Kubernetes is not to be underestimated. Managing a Kubernetes environment requires a deep understanding of how its various components interact, especially when it comes to observability and security. This blog post will delve into the intricacies of golden signals in Kubernetes, their connection to security issues, and how they can be leveraged to safeguard a Kubernetes environment against common attack chains.
