With the growing complexity and velocity of security threats in dynamic, cloud-native environments, it’s more important than ever for security teams to have the same visibility into their infrastructure, network, and applications that developers and operations do. Conversely, as developers and operations become responsible for securing their services, they need their monitoring platform to help surface possible threats.
As enterprises adopt cloud-first or cloud-native strategies, Kubernetes is by far the most important strategic consideration. At the same time, for the large subset of these enterprises which take payment from consumers, PCI DSS has never been more critical. More than ever, enterprises have to pay attention to data security (and their commitment to improving security posture) in order to meet compliance requirements. So what has to change to meet compliance in a Kubernetes-based environment?
This week, I'm pleased to announce that we closed our $14M Series A financing round. We look forward to partnering with our new investor, Accel, who led the round alongside existing investors, Unusual Ventures and A.Capital. Accel's Eric Wolford will join our board, bringing a wealth of open source experience from Heptio, SysDig and Corelight.
This article will be exploring the challenges Gravitational engineers faced when designing a discovery protocol for Teleport and how we learned to channel our inner Gordon Gekko to create a greedy solution. Teleport helps to empower engineers by enabling remote, secure access to their infrastructure while meeting compliance requirements, reducing operational overhead and complete visibility into access and behaviors.
Ah, the wonders of technology. In the innovation-rich Information Age, we are the beneficiaries of a nonstop wave of new advancements, each offering the ability to execute vital tasks faster and more efficiently than ever before. However, along with each breakthrough comes potential security vulnerabilities.
Are you an engineer or a manager working on a cloud application running in production? Do you have to type ssh or kubectl frequently to get things done? Does auditing, compliance, or access control sound mildly painful? This blog post is for you! In a world full of hackers, data breaches, and data privacy legislation, getting visibility into who is accessing your infrastructure (i.e., cloud or dedicated production environments where applications are hosted) and what they’re doing is vital.
