Jenkins misconfigurations can have far-reaching consequences; Cisco Panoptica’s attack surface scanner can detect such misconfigurations. Jenkins is a widely used tool for continuous integration and continuous delivery and deployment (CI/CD). It allows enterprise developers to automate application delivery easily, either through an enterprise-hosted or a third-party hosted Jenkins service.

In this blog you will learn how to easily secure your microservices apps running on Amazon EKS cluster using Panoptica, Cisco's cloud native application security SaaS service. We use an open source Kubernetes Goat application to see common misconfigurations, real-world vulnerabilities, and security issues in Kubernetes clusters, containers, and cloud native environments.

IBM’s annual Cost of a Data Breach Report offers its usual insights into the scale of cybercrime and the costs of security breaches. It paints a picture of a technological landscape which is becoming more complex, demanding and uncertain. As organizations increasingly migrate to cloud platforms, the need to fortify these digital landscapes against a plethora of threats has never been more crucial. So, what are the biggest takeaways from this year’s report with focus on cloud security?

Application architectures have been transformed in recent years. Modern application systems have become more complex with monolithic applications being replaced by more complicated applications based on multiple microservices and stored on cloud platforms. These applications run on new technologies based on Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
