Eric Jeffery, AlgoSec’s regional solutions engineer, gives his view on the pivotal role of AppSec network engineers and how they can positively impact the business.
Container-based web applications built on microservices architecture, whether public-facing or internal, are critical to businesses. This new class of applications is commonly referred to as cloud-native applications. Read on to find out why traditional WAFs are no longer enough to protect cloud-native applications and how Calico’s new workload-centric WAF solves this problem.
The rapidly expanding attack surface often requires security teams to deep dive into their Internet-facing assets, such as root assets and associated subdomains. Conducting these reviews can be time-consuming for security experts, particularly if they have a large attack surface made up of hundreds – or even thousands! – of subdomains. We’ve now made it possible for users to filter their attack surface by a root asset.
Network automation has many benefits for organizations adopting a DevOps model for managing their infrastructure, including speed, agility, and a consistent change control process. However, with improvements in speed, there comes an added risk of configuration errors rapidly propagating through the network. To safeguard against potential mistakes, network and security verification become an essential part of the network DevOps lifecycle.
