In this blog post we're excited to announce Machine ID, an easy way for developers to secure machine-to-machine communications based on X.509 and SSH certificates. But before we go deeper, let’s step back and think about what’s happening during a hacking attempt. Every security breach has two things in common. Addressing cybersecurity challenges requires a solution to both.

What is an SSH bastion and how is this different from an SSH jump server or an SSH proxy? In this post, we’ll answer this question and will show you how to set it up using two popular open source projects. Both Teleport and OpenSSH support bastions, and they are extremely similar as they are both single-binary Linux daemons. Both require a simple configuration file usually stored somewhere under /etc/.
“Never click unexpected links!” Ever hear someone yell this? Virtually every person in tech has a healthy suspicion of random links; it is for a good reason. Every now and then there are huge leaks from industry leaders as a result of a targeted campaign. One of the most reliable ways to “phish” someone, or exfiltrate their credentials, is to abuse an open redirect vulnerability in a safe-looking website and redirect the victims to a malicious one.
From the factory floor to online shopping, the benefits of automation are clear: Larger quantities of products and services can be produced much faster. But automation can also be used for malicious purposes, as illustrated by the ongoing software supply chain attack targeting the NPM package repository. By automating the process of creating and publishing malicious packages, the threat actor behind this campaign has taken things to a new scale.
Zero standing privilege (ZSP) is an applied zero trust security strategy for privileged access management (PAM). The term zero standing privilege was coined by an analyst at Gartner. In practice, it implies no users should be pre-assigned with administrative account privileges. Zero-trust security forbids authorization based on static predefined trust boundaries.
