A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Lots of buzz around a particularly embarrassing and damaging leak announced yesterday.

UpGuard CyberRisk enables organizations to control and monitor third-party vendor risk in real-time and improve their security posture. Since we launched CyberRisk, our team has been speaking to users and evolved the platform into two new modules, BreachSight and VendorRisk. Combined with a redesigned user experience, UpGuard is easier to use than ever.

We recently had the opportunity to share the lessons we have learned about container security from deploying Kubernetes and OpenShift in the field. If you don’t have time to watch the full recording of our conversation, here are a few highlights.

It’s no secret that your digital footprint is growing. Whether your business has 10 employees in one office or 2,000 employees in offices all over the world, you’re creating more content today than you did two years ago—or 2 months ago for that matter. Along with increased volume, content itself has evolved to encompass much richer media, like HD videos and CAD files.

Defined as critical infrastructure, the oil & gas industry increasingly faces cybersecurity risks as nation-state cybercriminals attempt to undermine other countries. The integration of information technology (IT) systems into operational technologies (OT) creates a unique threat to the oil and gas industry that places both the companies and the public at risk.

At Sysdig we’ve recently undergone a pretty interesting shift in our core instrumentation technology, adapting our agent to take advantage of eBPF – a core part of the Linux kernel. Sysdig now supports eBPF as an alternative to our Sysdig kernel module-based architecture. Today we are excited to share more details about our integration and the inner workings of eBPF. To celebrate this exciting technology we’re publishing a series of articles entirely dedicated to eBPF.

With connectivity to the outside world growing, cyber attacks on industrial computers constitute an extremely dangerous threat, as these types of incidents can cause material losses and production downtime for a whole system. Moreover, industrial enterprises knocked out of service can seriously undermine a region’s social welfare, ecology and macroeconomics. Not surprisingly, cybersecurity is therefore becoming more and more important across the board.

Today marks another new milestone and I am proud to unveil our new name….AlienVault has now combined with AT&T Cybersecurity Consulting and AT&T Managed Security Services to form a new standalone division, AT&T Cybersecurity!
