While auditing the Kubernetes source code, I recently discovered an issue (CVE-2020-8563) in Kubernetes that may cause sensitive data leakage. You would be affected by CVE-2020-8563 if you created a Kubernetes cluster over vSphere, and enabled vSphere as a cloud provider with logging level set to 4 or above. In that case, your vSphere user credentials will be leaked in the cloud-controller-manager‘s log.

As Kubernetes is eating the world, discover an alternative certified Kubernetes offering called K3s, made by the wizards at Rancher. K3s is gaining a lot of interest in the community for its easy deployment, low footprint binary, and its ability to be used for specific use cases that the full Kubernetes may be too advanced for. K3s is a fully CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) certified Kubernetes offering.

In this article, you will learn how to add inline image scanning to a Google Cloud Build pipeline using the Sysdig Secure DevOps platform. We will show you how to create a basic workflow to build your container image, scan the image, and push it to a registry. We will also customize scanning policies to stop the build if a high-risk vulnerability is detected.

Discover how to automate AWS Fargate image scanning directly in your AWS environment and block vulnerabilities from reaching production, among other threats. AWS Fargate and ECS allow you to deploy containerized workloads quickly. Fargate is even more convenient, as you don’t have to take care of the infrastructure.

Implementing AWS threat detection with Sysdig Secure takes just a few minutes. Discover how to improve the security of your cloud infrastructure using AWS CloudTrail and Sysdig Cloud Connector. With the rise of microservices and DevOps practices, a new level of dangerous actors threatens the cloud environment that governs all of your infrastructure. A malicious or inattentive cloud API request could have a sizable impact on availability, performance, and last but not least, billing.

Discover how Kube-apparmor-manager can help you manage AppArmor profiles on Kubernetes to reduce the attack surface of your cluster. AppArmor is a Linux kernel security module that supplements the standard Linux user and group-based permissions to confine programs to a limited set of resources. AppArmor can be configured for any application to reduce its potential attack surface and provide greater in-depth defense.

On September 14, CVE-2020-14386 was reported as a “high” severity threat. This CVE is a kernel security vulnerability that enables an unprivileged local process to gain root access to the system. CVE-2020-14386 is a result of a bug found in the packet socket facility in the Linux kernel. It allows a bad actor to trigger a memory corruption that can be exploited to hijack data and resources and in the most severe case, completely take over the system.

Today we announced that Sysdig has demonstrated successful integration of our monitoring and security software with AWS Outposts and achieved the AWS Outposts Ready designation. AWS Outposts provides a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to your datacenter, co-location space or “edge” location to support on-prem and hybrid cloud use cases. AWS Outposts provides a hardware and software stack built on Amazon’s EC2 public cloud expertise.

Sysdig is pleased to announce that the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform is now available through Red Hat Marketplace.
