Sysdig is pleased to support AWS today in their GA launch of Bottlerocket, a special-purpose operating system designed for hosting Linux containers. Orchestrated container environments run potentially hundreds of compute nodes. Operating general-purpose Linux on container hosts introduces complexity for IT teams who must patch and update packages across their clusters. Worse, features and packages that are not necessary for running containers, introduce unnecessary security exposure.

Today, we are excited to share our Sysdig 2020 Container Security Snapshot, which provides a sneak peak into our upcoming 2020 Container Usage Report As containers and Kubernetes adoption continue to increase, cloud teams are realizing they need to adopt a new workflow that embeds security into their DevOps processes. Secure DevOps, a variation of DevSecOps, embeds security and monitoring throughout the application lifecycle, from development through production.

Focusing on these five essential workflows for secure DevOps will help you get started implementing monitoring, security, and compliance for containers and Kubernetes. You might be starting to adopt DevOps and find that it dramatically simplifies deploying applications in containers and Kubernetes. However, you probably also found that it adds a new set of complexities for managing, securing, and troubleshooting applications.

Today, we are excited to announce a faster onboarding for Kubernetes visibility and security. With the SaaS-first approach and new enhancements to the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform, you can get results after just a five-minute setup. This release includes a new guided onboarding process, out-of-the-box dashboards as part of curated essential workflows, and a new Sysdig Essentials tier. 5 minutes to onboard secure DevOps - YouTube An error occurred.

Don’t miss out on these 12 image scanning best practices, whether you are starting to run containers and Kubernetes in production, or want to embed more security into your current DevOps workflow. One of the main challenges your teams face is how to manage security risk without slowing down application delivery. A way to address this early is by adopting a Secure DevOps workflow.

A new vulnerability, CVE-2020-8557, has been detected in kubelet. It can be exploited by writing into /etc/hosts to cause a denial of service. The source of the issue is that the /etc/hosts file mounted in a pod by kubelet is not included by the kubelet eviction manager, so it’s not taken into account when calculating ephemeral storage usage by a pod.

In this blog, we will explore suspicious file activity inside a container and see how to effectively implement a file integrity monitoring (FIM) workflow. We’ll also cover how Sysdig Secure can help you implement FIM for both containers and Linux hosts.

Tag mutability can introduce multiple functional and security issues. In container land, tags are a volatile reference to a concrete image version in a specific point in time. Tags can change unexpectedly, and at any moment. In this article, we’ll learn how we can prevent them.

It has arrived! Azure Red Hat OpenShift 4 is here and generally available; now, how do you add even more granular security and faster time to repair (MTTR) for your teams? Sysdig, that’s how!
