How DevOps Automation Enhances Cloud Security

When applied to cloud security, DevOps automation is able to speed up delivery while cutting down on errors. This blend results in faster deployments with a lower likelihood of vulnerabilities sneaking through. Here's a closer exploration of how this plays out, and why you should be making the most of tools in this category as part of your own operations.

Top 10 cybersecurity misconfigurations and how to avoid them

Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule? The 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. It states that 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes. Though only a theory, the 80/20 rule has been empirically observed in numerous facets of business.

What is the KEV Catalog?

With external threats looming as a constant source of potential disruption, multiple government agencies have coordinated to compile a catalog of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV). The Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, or KEV catalog, is a database of actively exploited vulnerabilities, including those that have been exploited by ransomware campaigns, that can help application security professionals in the public and private sectors monitor threats and prioritize fixes.

Navigating Access Challenges in Kubernetes-Based Infrastructure

Organizations often find that as they deploy their K8S infrastructure into production and across their company, what worked well for managing access during development does not scale efficiently. Research shows that this often leads to serious security risks including breaches. So, new access challenges emerge, particularly as teams scale. Join us for a 30-minute deep dive into how to secure access to Kubernetes-based environments including clusters, databases, and applications in a scalable way.

How to Implement Scalable Access Controls with RBAC: Best Practices for Zero Trust Environments

In the arms race to secure environments, codifying permissions often becomes an afterthought in the wake of setting up a new access tool. I often speak with organizations that either don’t know who has permission to what, or have no permission definitions at all. I once onboarded an enterprise level digital communications company that was losing productivity trying to keep track of who had access to their Kubernetes resources.

Empowering Teams for Better Security: A Conversation with Jigar Shah - Secrets of AppSec Champions

Developing a Security Culture: In today's highly digital and interconnected world, cybersecurity isn't just an IT issue; it's everyone's responsibility. Creating a robust security culture within your organization involves integrating security awareness into your daily operations. Train your employees, provide adequate resources, and define clear roles and responsibilities for security champions and influencers.

Top open-source CSPM projects to secure your cloud infrastructure

As more organizations move their critical infrastructure to the cloud, ensuring security has become a top priority. This is where Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) comes in. CSPM solutions validate the configuration of cloud services from a security perspective, ensuring alignment with best practices and compliance frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks, PCI-DSS, NIST, and others.
