Beekeeper Serves Up Secure Communications, Data, and Applications Across Cloud Environments with Sysdig

Beekeeper is known as one of the world’s top platforms for helping remote employees stay connected with their customers, other front-line workers, and the data they need to be successful. Through the company’s platform, employees can gain access to training, forms, and other work-based resources that require flawless access every time.

Compromising Read-Only Containers with Fileless Malware

Containers provide a number of security features that are not simply available on a normal host. One of those is the ability to make the container’s root filesystem read-only. By making the file system unable to be altered, it prevents an attacker from writing their malware executable to disk. Most attacks rely on writing files in order to work, but sophisticated cases use fileless malware as part of their malicious behavior.

Preventing cloud and container vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities are software bugs or weaknesses that could be used by an attacker. They could be present in the operating system, application code, and third-party code dependencies, such as libraries, frameworks, programming scripts, and so on. By taking a secure DevOps approach and identifying vulnerabilities early in development, you avoid frustrating developers with delays when an application is ready for production.

Reducing vulnerability noise with Sysdig

Reduce vulnerability noise by up to 95%, and focus on what matters with Sysdig. If you feel overloaded with vulnerabilities from container images, then you’re not alone! It's common for DevOps teams to spend hours scrolling through hundreds of vulnerabilities even when just a small fraction poses a real risk. So how do you focus on the vulnerabilities that really matter? Sysdig Secure automatically prioritizes the vulnerabilities that are tied to packages exposed at runtime. Filtering thousands of overwhelming alerts down to only the critical ones that you should spend your time on!

Are vulnerability scores misleading you? Understanding CVSS severity and using them effectively

Vulnerabilities are everywhere. Vetting, mitigating, and remediating them at scale is exhausting for security practitioners. Let’s keep in mind that no organization has the capacity to find and fix all vulnerabilities. The key is to understand what a vulnerability is, interpret the meanings of the CVSS score, and prioritize and effectively use resources within constrained time limits or delivery windows. Since 2016, new vulnerabilities reported each year have nearly tripled.

Eliminate noise and prioritize the vulnerabilities that really matter with Risk Spotlight

Is your team drowning in container vulnerability noise? Are you spending a lot of time figuring out where to focus resources on and still missing dangerous vulnerabilities? Know that you are not alone. Container environments revolutionized app development by enabling unprecedented velocity, but not without a price. The use of readily available container images of third-party and open-source code enabled much faster cycles, but also facilitated the introduction of vulnerabilities in the application.

Sysdig achieves AWS DevSecOps specialization within AWS DevOps Competency

Critical Vulnerability in Spring Core: CVE-2022-22965 a.k.a. Spring4Shell

After the Spring cloud vulnerability reported yesterday, a new vulnerability called Spring4shell CVE-2022-22965 was reported this time on the very popular Java framework Spring Core on JDK9+. The vulnerability is always a remote code execution (RCE) which would permit attackers to execute arbitrary code on the machine and compromise the entire host.
