Spring has arrived, the flowers are blooming and, for us Kubernetes fans, CNCF’s KubeCon Europe conference has just begun in Valencia! Here at Catalogic, the CloudCasa team has spent the last few months trying to top our February release by developing another set of great new features.

Enterprises are shifting rapidly to the cloud in order to increase scalability, improve efficiency and lower their costs. In the process, every company has become a software company — constantly building and updating new software — while the cloud has radically transformed how software is built. Oftentimes, the modern cloud-native application will be made up of several (or hundreds of) microservices, while being hosted on dynamic scaling platforms like Kubernetes.

Infrastructure as code (IaC) has become the de-facto method for dealing with infrastructure at scale. This codification of infrastructure configurations lets software development teams create version-controlled, reusable configurations. Moreover, it enables integrating infrastructure management as a part of the delivery pipeline.

To stay ahead of malicious attacks, developers and security teams must have a way to identify, prioritize, fix, and monitor vulnerabilities, a process known as vulnerability remediation. When it comes to detection, organizations can use a variety of application security testing (AST) tools to identify vulnerabilities in software applications and other systems.
