In this blogpost we will demonstrate how to build a complete GKE security stack for anomaly detection and to prevent container runtime security threats. We will integrate Falco runtime security engine with Google Cloud Functions and Pub/Sub.

Recently, a member of the Falco community privately disclosed a capacity related vulnerability which, under circumstances where a malicious actor has already gained access to your system, could allow the actor to further bypass Falco’s detection of abnormal activity. The final details are still being worked out, but we believe the CVE will be classified as Medium severity according to the CVSS methodology.

We are happy to announce the release of Falco 0.15.0. This release incorporates a number of improvements, as well as bug fixes, and rules updates. This release also includes a mitigation for CVE-2019-8339, and all users are encouraged to update to this release.

Cyber security assessment initiatives and frameworks abound in the US government, the most important being the Federal Information Systems Management Act (FISMA), passed in 2002. The law’s broad scope included a mandate to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), charging it to create methods and standards to assess and optimize the cybersecurity posture of US government agencies.
