Windows PowerShell is a tool for task automation and configuration management that combines a command line shell with a scripting language. IT professionals rely on PowerShell to: Learning even a few basic set of Windows PowerShell commands and core scripting capabilities can help you achieve significant automation. To help, this PowerShell tutorial covers PowerShell scripting basics for beginners.
In my previous blog post, What you can’t do with Kubernetes network policies (unless you use Calico): Policies to all namespaces or pods, I talked about this use case from the list of nine things you cannot implement using basic Kubernetes network policy — policies to all namespaces or pods. In this blog post, we’ll be focusing on the next use case — advanced policy querying and reachability tooling.
As kids, many of us felt anticipation, excitement, and maybe even nervousness during the holiday season. Had we been good enough to get the Gameboy, Barbie Dream House, or Etch a Sketch we’d been pining for, or were we just going to get a big ol’ lump of coal?
Security-oriented organizations continuously identify, monitor, and manage internet-connected assets to protect them from emerging attack vectors and potential vulnerabilities. Security teams go through every element of the organization’s security posture – from firewalls and cloud-hosted assets to endpoint devices and entry points – looking for opportunities to reduce security risks. This process is called attack surface management.
Like all security tools, firewalls can be hacked. That’s what happened to the social media platform X in January 2023, when it was still Twitter. Hackers exploited an API vulnerability that had been exposed since June the previous year. This gave them access to the platform’s security system and allowed them to leak sensitive information on millions of users. This breach occurred because the organization’s firewalls were not configured to examine API traffic with enough scrutiny.
If security policies aren’t periodically updated to meet modern threat demands, organizations risk introducing vulnerabilities into their IT security posture. Comprehensive audit reports help security leaders gain in-depth visibility into their organization’s cybersecurity strategy and assess the resilience of its network infrastructure.
