The history of Ranswomware - The first ransomware attack in the world

Ransomware is not new, it has been around for more than 30 years but it has changed a lot over the years. This is a snippet from a full webinar on Ransomware with Grzegorz Bak that dives into the most alarming statistics of ransomware and how we can protect ourselves against it. This presentation is thanks to GitProtect which helps make sure your code assets are securely backed up easily.

Kubernetes Security Best Practices

Kubernetes is an open source orchestration platform for containerized workflows. It is the best way to manage – or orchestrate – large clusters of containers at scale. Sometimes abbreviated as K8s, Kubernetes helps you efficiently manage clusters of hosts running Linux containers. In the age of containers, Kubernetes has become a popular open source project and key building block for modern tech infrastructure.

Network security LAN Manager Authentication Level

The LAN Manager (LM) is a group of early Microsoft client/server software products that enable users to connect personal computers on a single network. Its features include transparent file and printer sharing, user security features, and network administration tools. In Active Directory domains, the default authentication protocol is the Kerberos protocol. However, if Kerberos is not available for any reason, LM, NTLM, or NTLMv2 can be used as an alternative.

Cultivating Developer Adoption

Many organizations are encouraging their developer teams to adopt a security mindset and take more ownership on security issues earlier in the development process. But how can that actually be achieved effectively and what a successful program looks like in practice? In this recording, we’ll discuss some of the program lessons we’ve learnt from many enterprises that are going through this process and investigate different methodologies for implementing DevSecOps and will share what are best practices to follow and common pitfalls to avoid.

How To Setup Velero Backups On EKS Using IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA)

Velero is an open-source tool that allows you to backup and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Velero backups support a number of different storage providers including AWS S3. The process of setting up Velero backup with S3 using AWS credentials has been documented by Velero here. However, at the time of this post, there is no official documentation on how to set up Velero using IRSA or IAM Roles for Service Accounts.
