The ephemeral nature of the cloud has made compliance and security a greater challenge for organizations. The volume of data that companies must collect and retain from their cloud services, depending on their industry, is ballooning fast. According to ESG, 71% of companies believe their observability data (logs, metrics and traces) is growing at a concerning rate. Even so, outcomes are getting worse, not better. Six out of 10 teams are unable to prevent issues before customers are impacted.

Standing up a strong compliance program is critical for any organization expected to show adherence to SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, ISO27001 and other frameworks – and it can be very challenging. For starters, you have to juggle evidence collection, task management, policy mappings, and monitor controls across multiple frameworks.

Learn about Kubernetes compliance challenges, consequences of non-compliance, and get guidance on maintaining a secure and compliant cloud environment in a dynamic Kubernetes setup.

With the growing adoption of cloud, hybrid, and multicloud environments, the topic of Kubernetes compliance has become increasingly pertinent.

What if a malicious threat actor would want to get into the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) network. Could they do it? You may think this only happens in the movies, right? In this case, reality surpassed fiction. On Dec.20, 2018, the APT10 Group did exactly that. Members of APT10 stole personal, confidential information, including social security numbers and dates of birth, from over 100,000 Navy personnel.

Today, many organizations are governed by various types of industry regulations. To name a few: General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These regulations are subject to regular and complex amendments, and many compliance officers expect proactive compliance from every regulated company.

PCI 4.0 — the PCI Standards Security Council’s first update since 2018 to the PCI Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) — is a major iteration that shifts away from the traditional point-in-time assessment. Do you remember how an auditor would annually determine the PCI compliance status of a merchant’s or service provider’s system on a specific day in a specific month and assume — somehow — that the snapshot characterized their status all year?
