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.

How long does it take your security teams to detect a potential threat, correlate relevant data, and initiate a response action? The 555 Benchmark for Cloud Detection and Response challenges organizations to detect a threat within 5 seconds, correlate data within 5 minutes, and initiate a response within 5 minutes. It is not just something you can implement or use to solve your cloud security struggles. It is about testing and improving your cloud security operations and processes.
