Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Most people are painfully aware that security breaches have increased in recent years, while at the same time becoming much more sophisticated in their approach. Additionally, ever-expanding application environments and continuously evolving workloads have created more opportunities than ever for attackers. What’s not so apparent to those outside of the tech bubble: The world is dangerously ill-equipped to handle the magnitude of these threats.

We have all heard of the term infrastructure as code (IaC), however code in this context is not really code in the sense of a programming language. IaC usually refers to the configuration of infrastructure via tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes YAML, or Azure Resource Manager templates, which is really the definition of how the infrastructure will be created.

PII, or Personally Identifiable Information, is any information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual, such as name, address, payment information, or contact information. The U.S. The Department of Homeland Security defines a second category of PII: Sensitive PII, which includes Social Security Numbers, driver’s license numbers, Alien Registration numbers, financial or medical records, biometrics, and criminal history.

The state of cybersecurity today is, in a word, catastrophic. Breaches have become endemic. Not only do they continue at dizzying rates, but they are actually increasing in frequency by the month. Why are things so bad? And why do businesses seem so helpless to make them better? Those are complicated questions without simple answers, of course – but I believe that a major part of the answer has to do with the fact that, at most organizations, security remains the domain of elite security teams.

Our Solution Engineering (SE) team is full of individuals who have vast real-world experience building and maintaining complex IT access systems with sophisticated audit layers through their work as DevOps engineers. The problems that we have all faced before joining Teleport are the exact problems that our customers face. So when it comes to our demos, we like to show real-world scenarios aligned to customer usage patterns, in environments similar to our customers.

Discovered on December 9, 2021, the log4Shell vulnerability is one of the most talked-about vulnerabilities in computing. Because simple text can be used to take control of a device and download anything that is Internet-accessible, companies are taking it seriously. As they should – log4Shell has the maximum CVSS score of 10 (CVSS, Common Vulnerability Scoring System, is an industry-standard for ranking vulnerabilities).

A Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a valuable resource for meeting fluctuating IT infrastructure needs. According to data from Statista, the value of the IT managed services market is expected to grow to $356.24 billion by 2025. In this article I’ll outline the benefits of an MSP vs in-house IT staff and how an MSP can help your organization transition to a remote workforce.

At the core of Kubernetes is the notion of high availability, meaning that every part of the system is redundant so it can continue to function despite failures. This includes multiple worker nodes to run your workload, apps are written to be able to run as multiple pods, and even the control plane will work across a cluster of machines. In this article, we’ll explain the different ways to manage network traffic in the Kubernetes cluster.

The latest edition of the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Global Risks Report once again highlights cyber threats as one of the greatest risks worldwide: 19.5% of respondents identified cybersecurity failure as a "critical short-term threat" to the world. The report specifically points out that the growing dependence of organizations' physical systems on the digital realm could jeopardize the continuity of many businesses or services.

With security now a critical “must have” for DevOps teams, JFrog significantly deepened and extended our platform’s already solid security capabilities in 2021. In this post, we’ll look back at our major advances last year – and look forward at what’s to come in 2022.
