Build secure cloud-native applications by avoiding the top five security pitfalls we lay out in our Secure Cloud-native Development Series. This blog is the fourth part of the series, and it will teach you why and how to easily enable encryption and save yourself headaches down the road. Here's a new motto: encrypt everything! When securely moving to cloud-native technologies, building encryption in from the start will save us a lot of headaches later.

Open source software (OSS) has driven technological growth for decades due to its collaborative nature and ability to share information rapidly. However, major OSS security vulnerabilities like Log4j, Heartbleed, Shellshock and others have raised concerns about the security and sustainability of similar projects. At the same time, major open source-based companies have changed their OSS licenses, like MongoDB, Elastic (formerly ElasticSearch), Confluent, Redis Labs and most recently, HashiCorp.

A post-audit cloud security report is a document that provides an overview of the security status of the cloud environment, infrastructure, and applications of a business.

CISA, the United States's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, has ordered federal agencies to patch their iPhones against vulnerabilities that can be used as part of a zero-click attack to install spyware from the notorious NSO Group.

Cybercriminals can't ascertain your phone password just from a Wi-Fi signal, but they can come close according to a method described in a recent research paper. Researchers have demonstrated a method that uses Wi-Fi signals to infer numerical passwords, and the mechanics behind it are nothing short of intriguing. Side-channel attacks often remind me of James Bond-like espionage. So does a research paper that is to appear at ACM CCS later this year.

A new comprehensive study by researchers at RWTH Aachen University in Germany did a study on over 300,000 docker images finding that 8.5% contained API keys and private keys that malicious actors could exploit in the wild.

The term Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of technologies and services where various devices are interconnected and exchange data. These devices can be anything from wearable fitness trackers, smart televisions, and wireless infusion pumps to cars and many others.
