This week, Linux maintainers and vendors disclosed a heap overflow vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. The vulnerability has been issued a Common Vulnerability and Exposures ID of CVE-2022-0185 and is rated as a High (7.8) severity. The flaw occurs in the Filesystem Context system when handling legacy parameters. An attacker can leverage this flaw to cause a DDoS, escape container environments, and elevate privileges.

Kubescape is now available on the Visual Studio extension marketplace. Visual Studio code extensions are add-ons that allow developers to customize and enhance their experience in Visual Studio by adding new features or integrating 3rd party tools. An extension can range in all levels of complexity, but its main purpose is to increase developers’ productivity and cater to their workflow.

The increasing number of yearly reported data breaches and new critical vulnerabilities, such as log4j, impacting both small and large businesses shows that cyberthreats are real and targeting everyone. You can minimize risk by implementing runtime security and having an incident response plan in place to contain attacks. But, in container environments, responding fast to incidents is challenging.

For the last decade, AWS has dominated the cloud computing space with a plethora of cloud services. One of AWS’ great innovations was AWS Fargate, their first containers as a service (CaaS) offering. Prior to the introduction of Fargate, those building in the cloud were forced to choose between IaaS paradigm-focused containers or FaaS-focused serverless functions.

It’s been a whirlwind year for Styra — from going fully remote as a company to raising $40 million in Series B Funding to more than doubling our workforce. We have a lot to be thankful for as a company, and before we say “goodbye” to 2021 and “hello'' to 2022, I wanted to take a moment to recap some of my favorite moments and initiatives of this past year.

Like any great technology, the interest in and adoption of Kubernetes (an excellent way to orchestrate your workloads, by the way) took off as cloud native and containerization grew in popularity. With that came a lot of confusion. Everyone was using Kubernetes to move their workloads, but as they went through their journey to deployment, they weren’t thinking about security until they got to production.

Microsoft Azure is a great choice for enterprises looking to quickly build and deploy apps to the cloud. However, cloud teams must simultaneously consider how to implement DevSecOps practices to reduce, manage and avoid risks. Sysdig is collaborating with Microsoft to simplify cloud and container security and deliver robust SaaS-based solutions for the Azure ecosystem.

When deploying cloud-native applications to a hybrid and multi-cloud environment that is protected by traditional perimeter-based firewalls, such as Palo Alto Networks (PAN) Panorama, you need to work within the confines of your existing IT security architecture. For applications that communicate with external resources outside the Kubernetes cluster, a traditional firewall is typically going to be part of that communication.

As infrastructures and workloads transition to cloud and teams adopt a CI/CD development process, there is a new paradigm shift: infrastructure is becoming code. This approach of treating infrastructure as code (IaC) is incredibly powerful, brings us many advantages, and enables transformative concepts like immutability. We define infrastructures in a declarative way and version them using the same source code control tools (in particular git) that we use for our application code.

Looking to 2022, cybersecurity and business leaders are looking forward to digital and in-person conferences. Cybersecurity conferences offer everyone a way to connect, learn, and share. We’ve compiled a comprehensive, chronological list of cybersecurity conferences that you want to attend in 2022.
