Toyota data breach - Database keys exposed publically in GitHub for 5 years

On October 7th, Toyota revealed a partial copy of their T-Connect source code had been accidentally exposed for 5 years, including access to data for over 290,000 customers. In 2014, Toyota introduced a new telematics service called T-Connect to customers, offering interactive voice response and allowing drivers to connect to third-party apps. Toyota advertises it as their “connected services that provide safe, secure, comfortable, and convenient services through vehicle communication.”

Image scanning for GitLab CI/CD

Scanning a container image for vulnerabilities or misconfigurations on your GitLab CI/CD using Sysdig Secure is a straightforward process. This article demonstrates a step-by-step example of how to do it. The following proof of content showcased how to leverage the sysdig-cli-scanner with GitLab CI/CD. Although possible, this procedure is not officially supported by Sysdig, so we recommend checking the documentation to adapt these steps to your environment.

Why Building a Modern AppSec Program is Vital for Digital Business

This is the first of a six-part blog series that highlights findings from a new Mend white paper, Five Principles of Modern Application Security Programs. Be sure to look out for our upcoming blogs on each of the five principles. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digitalization plans for global organizations by three years, while the adoption rate for digitized products and services increased by seven years.

Securely Managing Your Audit Logs with Teleport and Snowflake

One of the most important features Teleport has to offer is that it centralizes all of your infrastructure’s audit logging into one central place, mapping every query, every command and every session to an individual user's identity. As you hire more engineers and resources scale, it can become increasingly difficult to manage all of this log data. Luckily Teleport’s extensibility makes this log data extremely easy to format, export and monitor all in a secure, event-driven way.

[Webinar] DevOps backups vs. ransomware - best security and compliance practices.

Ransomware is still on the rise and does not bypass DevOps ecosystems and SaaS services. Backup is the final line of defense against ransomware so it should be ransomware-proof itself. Join the webinar and check on how to ensure security and continuity of operations in your DevOps environments.

#DevOpsSpeakeasy at #devoxxMA 2022 with Carlos Sanchez @csanchez

In this interview, we speak with Carlos Sanchez @csanchez Senior Cloud Software Engineer at Adobe, member at the Apache Software Foundation, author of Jenkins Kubernetes plugin about Kubernetes!! How moving to Kubernetes opens the door to a world of possibilities, the amount of workloads that can be run and the flexibility it provides. However this comes at a cost on managing the resources used by many applications and teams. Java applications can be specially challenging when running in containers.

Securely Implementing IdP-initiated SAML2 Login

Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0, or more commonly known as SAML in the industry, is one of the most used protocols for single-sign-on on the modern web. It allows an application like Teleport to communicate with an upstream identity provider like Okta or Google Workspace to securely get trusted information about users when they log in, removing the need for sign-ups, log-ins and tying identities to people inside the application.

Stranger Danger: Your JavaScript Attack Surface Just Got Bigger

Building JavaScript applications today means that we take a step further from writing code. We use open-source dependencies, create a Dockerfile to deploy containers to the cloud, and orchestrate this infrastructure with Kubernetes. Welcome - you're a cloud native application developer! As developers, our responsibility has broadened, and more software means more software security concerns for us to address.
